I imagine there are laws that this cyberstalker is breaking, and surely kickstarter can assist in providing the authorities with the relevant information to kickstart an investigation/tro/arrest?


According to another article by the author in April 2011, he's breaking a number of laws: http://experimenthaywire.net/is-there-a-solution-to-cybersta...

  I once thought I was his only target until his other victims began
  contacting me. He was sending us child pornography and threatening to
  kill us along with impersonating our dead relatives. We started a
  support network and put all of our case numbers together to make this
  a federal matter. What now? The hunt for my stalker continues yet has
  been unsuccessful as of now. The FBI having bigger fish to fry. The
  police say that he is “good at what he does.”


I live in Atlanta, GA, USA. I had my car stolen. Police didn't investigate. It was found abandoned 2 weeks later. Police didn't do anything beyond return it. I figured you had to be shot to get some attention. Three friends have had their house robbed. No police response beyond insurance paperwork. Later, a friend of mine was shot. Police didn't investigate. He was told that he didn't die, so it wasn't murder, so they had more important things to do.

Unfortunately the authorities seem to have too much to do. If it takes any effort to investigate something, it isn't going to happen.


parts of the Twin Cities (Plymouth) are like this for any car related theft. They give you a case number over the phone and that is the end of it. Had my car broken into twice in a parking garage with cameras. No investigation even though about 20 cars were hit each time.
