I have a friend.
She is lovely, wonderful and giving.
She had fallen in love with a man and then discovered he was a convicted rapist.
They broke up.
He became angry, she reaffirmed it was over.
Then he contacted all her family telling them she had cheated on him.
Then her tyres were slashed.
Then her boss was contacted anonymously with terrible false allegations of her doing wrong.

Then her door handle was tampered with.
She called Police and applied for a restraining order against him.
Then she noticed him outside her house at 12.30am.
She called Police, he ran off.
Police have only just given him the restraining order and astoundingly told her there’s nothing more they can do.
After this many red flags, I hope my friend doesn’t get hurt.
This behaviour is pretty common. It is time the Police come down like a hammer on these pricks.
Don’t you mean, ” It is time the COURTS came down like a hammer on these pricks?”
AO/NZ women should legally be able to carry pepper spray. Think playing field leveling.
I had a friend who was abducted by a nutter in Auckland. He was waiting by her car as she was leaving a club where she’d been taking photographs. He shoved her into her car and drove off as he threatened her with all manner of creative things. While he was engrossed in how awesome he seemed to himself she made her escape and ran like fuck down a street to safety.
Years later while suffering the effects of her abduction she loaded a pump-up water pistol with all manner of vicious chemicals and chili powders and kept it by the front door.
Pepper spray is the very best defense against scum with their little diddles out.

Remember too. The cops are hobbled by policy. If you want your friend to be able to watch on as the cops beat the literal shit of the psychopathic power freak then your friend needs to initiate policy change.
Yep, the rules on self defense in NZ need to be clarified and changes made to allow pepper spray and stun guns to be carried.
and if there is nothing more Police can do in a case like this, the laws need an overhaul and the courts need a tune up too.
I have cans of spray paint sitting inside my front and back doors, after intruder issues.
Spray the face – if it gets in the eyes they could need to get medical help to get it out, and then get picked up by the police. I occasionally night-walk with a craft-size can of spray paint in my pocket. ( I have never used it, but I once whacked a fellow in Fairlie with my umbrella. He whined that he only wanted a match, but I didn’t hit him very hard anyway – being rather small and polite – me, not he.)
I hope you never need to use them.
I gave my stepdaughter a product called Dye Witness a while back (purchase on Trade me a few years ago), same principle as spray paint I guess. I hope she never needs to use it.
I hope so too – a call centre person suggested grabbing a can of hair spray
during one incident, but with a local crime wave going on I’m back to having the paint handy. “Ordinary” burglars are often opportunists looking for an easy entry – very different from psychos or stalkers impossible to anticipate – or believe. I’ll look out for your stuff, thanks.
I think you can buy on eBay and there shouldn’t be any issues with import. It doesn’t meet the definition of a restricted weapon.
Thank you, Al. No luck on Ebay – Amazon have it – they are temporarily out of stock, but at least we know where we can buy it now.
