When a man like this has been warned, the second offense should automatically be a felony. A third offense should result in prosecution and jail until trial to keep his victims safe.

I’m thinking of the video that was posted on DU recently of the man who started stalking and harassing a young woman when she stopped seeing him after two dates. Stalking is serious, and it needs better penalties to punish and prevent it.
