stalking laws in hillsborough county florida

Here are the stalking laws in hillsborough county Florida.
As Men, we must be careful in hillsborough county florida not to violate any stalking laws.
Some Women engage in what is called "come here, now go away" behavior.
One minute they Love the candy, flowers, phone calls, emails, and our undivided attention.
The next minute, when they get mad, or want sick attention or sympathy, we are "stalking them" LOL
This gets these sick little Drama Queens and "Pseudo Victims" attention, and sympathy from well meaning, but often misinformed family, friends, and Law Enforcement.
With the current obsession in Tampa over domestic violence, it is far too easy to wind up in our hillsborough county jail for "bothering her".
I was in a bad 6 year relationship, where breaking up, then going back together again, was as common as eating every day.
That was "our relationship pattern", break up with each other, and the other partner "begged to be taken back".
Buying flowers, leaving letters, phone messages, emails, sending gifts, etc, etc, was what we both did, when one of us was mad at the other.
However, once a restraining order is in place, this will get you in big trouble, and sent to the jail in hillsborough county florida!
What was once common to the relationship, is now a serious crime, all because she got pissed off, and manipulated the hillsborough county court system into granting a restraining order against you.

Now, the "rules" of the relationship have changed, and some women in Tampa will use a restraining order to "get back at you".
They know you still are in Love with them, and how easily they can persuade you into violating  that restraining order to face stalking charges.
Do NOT violate the order of protection, whatever you do, no matter how much you still Love her!


Learn from my mistakes guys ?
In hillsborough county florida, once she gets a restraining order against you, find a new girlfriend, no matter HOW she begs and pleads you not to leave her.
Do not fall for her lies that the restraining order in hillsborough county florida is "just a piece of paper", and she can drop it at any time.
This is how women are coached in hillsborough county by the men haters,  to set you up to violate a restraining order, and allow hillsborough county Florida stalking charges to be brought against you!

Find another girlfriend who will appreciate the attention and Love you have to give them ?
Go to Brandon Singles Group Guys if you are a decent person, and get out of that  bad relationship with an impossible woman.

We have a lot of really nice women who possibly will appreciate you, and the love you have to give the right woman.
Why waste your time, and risk going to jail for stalking, in a relationship that is going nowhere?

I am pretty sure the reason stalking incidents in hillsborough county florida have gone up so significantly is because the definition of stalking in Tampa, Florida has changed. Twenty years ago, if you broke up with someone and they tried to get you back, sending you flowers, candy, calling unexpectedly, showing up at your house or work, that was just called being romantic in hillsborough county Florida. Look at the movie "Say Anything" for example, the famous ghetto blaster scene. By today's standards the dude would be arrested. Now a days if you ask a woman in Tampa out twice, you could get tagged as a stalker in hillsborough county florida.

This is not to say there aren't real incidents of obsessive or violent stalking in hillsborough county Florida. You hear about it in the local Tampa news all the time. I know a few women who it's happened in the Tampa Singles Group I am President of, and it's seriously creepy. But I'm sure most of the stalking incidents reported in hillsborough county are simply ordinary run-of-the-mill jilted lovers, good people who just take a few weeks to realize the five year relationship is really over.

And of course in our paranoid Tampa culture, these incidents are red-flagged as stalking in hillsborough county. I guess what I'm saying is that I seriously doubt there's been any increase in stalking lately. It's just that there's a name and a stigma for it now. There's also been a dramatic increase in fines for failure to wear a seat belt in the past 30 years, mostly because it wasn't considered a crime in the past in hillsborough county, Florida.

By this modern definition, pretty much any break-up song is a stalker song. Any good person who's ever loved someone deeply enough and is not over it the instant the relationship ends, calling, begging, pleading, holding onto hope, is a stalker in hillsborough county Florida. Situations like this should be differentiated from the obsessive, creepy, violent, intrusive kind of stalking that's the real problem in today's culture. If this were the case, I'm sure the numbers would be far less than 8%."

Here is video about "Stalking" by The Police - LOL

The Police - Every Breath You Take [ MTV.video.clip] @ Yahoo! Video

Just my opinion, you understand.?
Here is another video of a currently popular song in hillsborough county florida.
Watch it, and LISTEN to the lyrics ?
She is talking about "STALKING", LOL
Maybe it is a good thing Lady GaGa in this video don't live in Tampa FL, because the course of action in a failing relationship she is singing about like "Chase you down  until you love me" will get you arrested for stalking in hillsborough county florida !!!!
Enjoy!
