Question
Is stocking a crime when they still your identy for blackmailing you while discrimenataton for a health problem?

Answer
Hello,

Stalking is a crime only if a person repeatedly follows or harasses another person and makes a credible threat to that person.  Identity theft and blackmail are also crimes but are separate ones.  Discrimination can be a civil violation of law.

I will answer questions relating to discrimination law or the 14th Amendment, sexual harrassment, etc. But I can`t give specific legal advice involving specific cases you might have.

I have worked as an attorney in this area, including several landmark cases involving racial preferences (such as Hopwood v. Texas).
