sorry yall this is a long one

so today i had someone following me as i walked to the store. so much so that it took me having to call the cops on the guy.

backstory:

i was leaving target (wearing black leggings and a black shirt hair and makeup not done). as i was in the parking lot this car pulled up on me. the guy in the car yells out " are you a prostitute" i said no and kept walking. the guy follows, so i ignore him as im walking through the parking lot hes circling around me in his car. eventually i got sick of it and said " do i need to call the cops?" his response was "call them i welcome everyone"... so i called 911. i get on the phone with dispatch, and by this time ive circled the entire target parking lot with him following behind me. i cross tje main street to the next shopping lot. this man made a u turn on the main street just to follow me to the next store

i get into the stater brother parking lot while on the phone with 911 and this guy has begun yelling sexually explicit things at me out his window. about 15 minutes passed im inside staters staring out of tge door watching this man circle tge parking lot. the cops pull in and the guy pulls up to the cop.

the cops talk to him and i can over hear this guys saying " praise Allah! this is my right to follow her, she is a woman. I am not committing any crime" (keep in mind this guy almost hit me twice). The police calm him down and got him to leave.

(posting the pic i tookof him for those who live in Orange county Ca. specifically buena park)

The officer came up to me and got my statement. I had asked the officer if i could press charges or file a report. The officer said "unfortunately no crime was committed, and when it comes to stalking someone multiple reports have to be made in order to uphold a charge" tge officer was very kind and understanding, he told me the guy doesnt seem to be "all there" mentally. But gave me a case number so ill have the info on hand incase he follows me again.

After this all happened it got me thinking about cat calling and verbal harrassment. Should we be able to ticket or charge people for it?
