Stalking is scary for anyone. In certain situations it can be dangerous as well. Being stalked can be an unnerving experience. If you are being stalked by a military officer it can be more serious because of the differences between civilian and military laws. There are certain steps that can be taken to stop this. This article provides answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about issues related to this. Is it possible to sue the military if a contracted civilian makes a call to a civilian from a military base? Would it be considered stalking?
Even though the person is contracted by the military, he is not a member of it. Hence, the military can’t be sued for his actions. For being able to sue the military you have to show evidence that some sort of harm has been done to you by a member of the military. A civilian contracted by the military does not become a member of the military. For stalking to be established, the person should repeatedly harass, contact or follow someone. One simple phone call would not amount to that. How will a civil stalking injunction affect a soldier’s status?
Usually, it will not affect your status in any way. However, certain things should be done to protect yourself. Firstly, you should inform your command and let them know of the situation. You should not face any problem from your command if there has been no misconduct on your part. You should also avoid the person who has filed the injunction against you and stay away from any trouble. If someone has a restraining order against their retired military spouse for stalking, does the military have any right to force the retiree to support the spouse?
Usually, the military does not get involved in the domestic affairs of a retired veteran. You should plead to the court to order him to meet the expenses of the home, and express the need for him to do so. Generally, the court orders support, provided there is enough evidence of unfair actions. You have to prove in the court that the actions of the person have adversely affected your living conditions as well as prove that it was unfair on his part to decline to foot the bills of home that he would have normally done. Can someone contact the military regarding a tenant who is a soldier and has invoked the military clause to cancel a lease for the purpose of collecting rent?
To invoke that clause, the military has to present you a copy of the orders. However, if you try to collect past due rent while not being in a position to challenge the soldier’s choice to invoke the military clause, you may be violating Nevada’s anti stalking statute. The statute goes like this: "NRS 200.575 1. A person, who, without lawful authority, willfully or maliciously engages in a course of conduct that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or harassed, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or harassed, commits the crime of stalking." Sometimes people are not aware that there are laws to protect them from someone from the military stalking them. If you face such a situation where you think you are being stalked you may ask a military lawyer to decide the best course of action.
