[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 287296, member: 4264"] Witz, there are charges pending. EVERYONE gets bail in this ridiculous province, unless its murder etc. Despite his history of police involvement and hospitalizations etc. The theory is that the law protects me and my family by inserting a clause in his bail papers that in order to have bail he must not be near us or contact us in any way. Yeah. A paper is going to stop this lunatic??? Our laws stink. Even nuttier, we dont' have bail bondsmen here like in the U.S. Most times no actual money has to be posted at all. Here people get granted bail and it merely requires they sign a promise to appear type form that is their gaurantee to appear in court when required for hearings and follow any conditions (like staying away from us). If he violates his conditions, he can then be revoked his bail. But often even when THAT happens, they get believe it or not, most often ANOTHER bail hearing after a few days in jail, and another chance to get out on bail!! All gauranteed by a criminals SIGNATURE. Basically, a psychopaths WORD that they will behave and come back for court and commit no more crimes. He has stayed away from us since picked up by police and then release on pending charges etc. He has made threats to us via other people but he is GOOD. He says it in a way even police know its a threat. But he doesn't say for example "I'm going to commit (insert crime) against Melissa" or whatever. He says it so we all knwo his meaning but it isn't blatantly stated. Therefore police hands are tied because it isn't a properly worded actual obvious threat of harm. Fun laws huh??? I do know police know now they messed up. to some degree I realize they will be lawering up and working to protect themselves in case we sue. At the same time, they are bending backwards SINCE this to do all they can to help, including visits to his door (one officer said it was like talking to someone out of the movie Pulp Fiction), legal advice on evictions, serving him notices to not trespass, warning him with some brutal language to stay away and just move out and move on mentally from anyone on our road etc. They must know legally they are at risk right now and any further mistakes on their part only bring more risk to their department.
