Answer 9

Well, in most states, you would actually need to be breaking the laws to make it illegal. Criminal trespassing, harassment, or assault are normal things that result in stalking. However, if you are being stalked you may issue a civil restraining order or if you are able to catch the stalker breaking the law and have evidence, you may be able to get them charged on criminal harassment or criminal menace as it is called in some states.

In California, stalking IS illegal.
