What has helped me
So when I first was targeted I thought "oh, I can't get them because what they're doing SEEMS normal to an observer and it's different people (mostly) each time." But then I realized, there is a pattern to what these people are doing, and statistically it is NOT normal. The numbers don't lie. Also, it is harassment, and there are legal terms for each behavior they do. “Targeting” never even has to come up, if you know those other terms, which are valid legal terms.
So now when I document what they do, I note the specific behaviors, and even teach investigators what specific behaviors to look for. If person x does the same behavior as person y -only when you are present- that is evidence. I personally also have started not only noting what they do, but what happens when I’m not there via video footage, etc., and plotting it statistically. The numbers don’t lie. Someone may not believe you, but they can’t deny the math. At the very least, you will make them perps work harder.
With investigators, the perps know they’ll be there and may act different, so that’s why an investigator could just be a professional you know- a witness. Again, the term “targeting” never has to come up. Once you train them, there is actually a decent possibility they will believe you. Also, mention logic. “Notice how the next person also did that? Does it make sense for someone to do that only right here next to me and for that long?” You know, that sort of thing. I have found that on their own, people trained to see it will even say “It’s like they’re on work shifts.”
A common thing perps do is to have the “show” be in your direct line of sight. It’s not “nowhere” that they are performing, it’s specifically oriented so you can see it, to get your attention. This is something that can be noted and proven- behaviors that are repeated in your direct line of most visible sight (i.e. in front of you, etc.).
I don’t know how you feel about programming, but for those of us who are programmers, this can be utilized to your advantage. Pattern recognition is the name of the game, and computers are great at this. There are even statistics libraries and such you could use in your program, to save time and not have to program the whole thing from scratch.
I honestly hope this helps the real targeted individuals out there.
