What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
If a person feels that their civil rights (freedoms) are being violated what steps can be taken to ensure that the problem does not persist and if the steps are taken but the situation still persists what next?

Good Lord - could you be any more vague?

Give us details of your situation. Then ask questions.

If a person is constantly being followed every where they go day and night isn't this a violation of privacy? Say a person is constantly being lied on and the lies are being spread throughout their immediate community and beyond ex: (he's a thief or a terrorist etc). Couldn't this be considered a violation and if so how would someone go about solving this situation as far as finding out who,what,when,where and WHY?

Why would a person need therapy if these things are really happening to them, no mind games or tricks, that just goes to show that there is no one willing to take this situation seriously and that is why the innocent are the ones locked up instead of the real criminals, then when the TRUTH reveals itself everybody sittin around lookin dumb and feelin guilty because they stood by and did nothing about the injustices they were warned about. Thanks for no help Zigner!

Not if in public. Otherwise, do you REALLY mean day and night? Unless you really are a person of intense governmental interest for reasons beyond those this forum can address, that you think anyone would spend the resources to do so (Or, that it is actually happening.) is an indication of paranoia. That is why Zigner suggested therapy.

This could be defamation if untrue. You find out who by asking those who are being told, or, if CONSTANT you just listen for when someone says it. Then you file a lawsuit and try to get the other answers in discovery.

But, again, this seems more paranoid then real. Sorry, but, even if there is some basis in reality for what you write, it seems like a good first step is to talk to a mental health professional to help clarify your next steps.

As was posted previously - your claims have the ring of paranoia. Your refusal to see that also shows possible signs of mental illness.

Soooo because these questions were posed on an open forum it's paranoia, there could be absolutely no validity to any of the questions posed, if you really think about it the most outrageous things turn out to be true. CT

No, that is not what was said.

Re-read.

I believe what was asked by HappyWanderer was, essentially, why would the government spend an inordinate amount of money to literally follow you around day and night, AND spread nasty rumors about you? They did not have that kind of surveillance on John Gotti!!

I don't think the poster means the government is following them. Perhaps it is a stalker, if so then just get a restaining order...

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

You claim that someone or some group has you under surveillance 24 hours an day and is expending tremendous resources to slander you. I call BS. Give us details, give us a reason why they would do this.

First and foremost who said that this was happening to me, secondly who said anything about the government being involved,and thirdly is anyone that has replied an attorney? Last but not least videos don't lie unless that is a persons field of expertise, not to mention others that say the same thing most of you are saying didn't believe it until they saw it for themselves because anybody in their right mind would think that a person making these statements is crazy and in need of therapy and honestly i think that may be the intent of what is happening, whom ever may be behind the harrassment and defamation or whatever you want to call it, may be trying to cause this person to loose grip with reality to settle some wrong they feel was done to them or who knows the true intent of whats going on. People do strange things for stupid reason but mainly because it sounds sooooo outrageous no one would believe it and they can keep on doing what they are doing without any consequences.
 
The problem is the resources required to do what you say would be extensive. We have no knowledge of any proof as you continue to be vague with the facts and accusatory to anyone who differs with your conclusion. You need a person who is not involved with the situation to review the facts. An attorney would be an entirely acceptable person to be that neutral review. However, based on life experience and the outrageous nature of the claims, I think a mental health professional would be better.

The key is to get a professional who is not directly involved with the situation to look at the facts.

The government rarely has the resources for 24/7 surveillance ... why would an individual do it? It would be horrendously expensive!!
