If a stranger starts following you in New York, gets into your Uber, learns your address, and leaves roses at your door, the courts can do nothing until it turns into a crime. A New York model named Lameka Fox lived exactly that and filed three police reports. The answer she got, she told CBS New York, was a question: “Are you sure it’s not someone you dated, because that’s the only way they would be able to attempt to investigate or offer a protective order.” She had not dated him. So the law had nothing for her. A bill that just cleared the State Legislature, now sitting on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk, would end that.
