Here are some hypothetical questions that I would ask if I were to investigate the purely fictional things that have been going on.  All people mentioned in this are of course fictional, the questions are hypothetical and would be asked by myself if I were to investigate a hypothetical long term systematic harrassment and discrediting of a person, which might involve hypothetical media and fictional police. It goes without saying that any sane person would not continue such harrassment for such a long time, one would have to be psychopathic to continue such for so long.

'Special Investigations"?  If a media outlet used illegal means to get a story in one of their special investigations, say illegal monitoring using cameras and microphones, why don't they get charged with stalking an individual/persons?

If police had knowledge of such a special investigation and the use of monitoring equipment on an individual, wouldn't they arrest the media for illegal stalking?   If they suspected the individual of illegal practices, wouldn't they monitor the person themselves?

If a special investigation results in an arrest or arrests, do the police turn a blind eye to the means the information was obtained, if so is that legal or ethical?  I thought only police could be issued with warrants to 'spy' if you like on the public?  Surely anything else done by anyone else is , well, spying or stalking, illegally?  If the arrests involved murder or rapes or child molestation I dare say the public would say fair enough, but if the monitoring was done to an ordinary citizen, say a house wife, what would the public say about such monitoring?  I mean it could happen to anyone.

Who do the special investigations information go to?  Just certain police or all or any?  Is any money or favours exchanged, say information about arrests to capture on camera, a scoop, for information about criminals?   Is this legal or ethical?  Once again maybe in some cases, but what about those little, ordinary people?

Are 'special investigators' used in some cases, by the media, what are these people down as on the payroll?
If a person was being 'monitored', say for years on end, wouldn't that show up on some accounts somewhere as some sort of expense?  Wouldn't the expense have to have some details attached to it as regarding what monitoring was being done by whom to whom?  People have to have been 'deployed' on a daily basis, what are they down on the books as doing every day? Such a long standing situation would have to appear somewhere as some expense.

I am sure there are many media outlets and police who are honest ethical people and would not condone stalking or harrassing of an ordinary citizen for no good reason.  And so to those people, here are some questions I would ask if I were to investigate such a case.

If children were being used as lookouts, and in some cases to follow, maybe children would not like lying to the police?

Family members and friends of people must have some knowledge of such a long standing situation.
Ex-neighbours perhaps?
What about online?  Deleted hate sites?  Twitter accounts?  Don't they all leave traces?  Who set them up, where, how?  Are they still out there?  If visual content is involved, how was it gotten?

If people around areas a person might walk a dog were approached and their places used as places of monitoring, what were these people told about the subject being monitored?  Why would they believe it?  Was it the type of person doing the telling?  The profession of the person doing the telling?

What if people who lived a few streets away, say of Indian extraction had been approached by these people and told whatever the park walking people had been told, started to wonder if it was all true?
What if other people in the same street had been approached by certain people and asked to be involved in the 'slandering' of a person as they walked their dog past their houses and these people said 'no.' What if the people that said no could identify the people that approached them?

What about looking at when people moved into a certain area, how many of them are related?
Do these people have people of certain professions in them, or in the media? Do they know of the person being monitored, how?  or are they related to someone who has a grudge against the person being monitored?

What about just asking random people in the area about the person being monitored, people in shops,locally, what they have been told and by whom?

What about colleagues of some of these people, what do they know about what some of them do when they are not at work, the people that 'do it on their own time' after work.? Maybe media people.



What about other people in the neighbourhood, are they aware, what have they been told?
If a thing goes on for years and years eventually lots of people become aware, at least of bits and pieces of it, all of those pieces add up.

What about the mercedes driver?  Who in the media drives a black mercedes?  A CEO ?a manager? Probably lots of people,
Who gives the go ahead for these type of 'special investigations' to be carried out?
What mercedes driver fits the description,  male caucasian, tall , dark hair, parted on the side, large build.? If such a person existed, why would he give the go ahead for such an undertaking?

I have used fictional names and posed hypothetical questions, my motives are purely to shed light on possible practices which are unethical and illegal.

What about asking where certain persons have had holidays?   Gifts?  Who paid for them?
 Use the same sort of devices they use to monitor them at their illegal monitoring, I think any individual being harrassed in this way would be grateful to anyone who would reveal what that individual has been living with for years.  Watch and note who goes in and out of certain places, who are they?  What are they doing there every day and in some cases night?  If they don't live there, think about it.

Finally, barring murder, child molestation, or rape, no one deserves the treatment I have had at the hands of people with many more resources than I have.  I would have served 14 years already if I'd been imprisoned for some crime.  Hate will eat you up and you need to get over whatever it is you think I did to deserve what you have dished out.  I have said awful things in the past ,usually as a retort to baiting, which I'm sure you've used to your advantage, i.e. not showing the baiting.  I continually say 'leave me alone' and you continue your harrassment.  Surely there comes a time when you want to just have a normal life?  Or is your life dedicated to tormenting me? If it is you are wasting yours as well as mine.14 years when you could have been meeting new people, trying new sports or restaurants, watching dvds, taking up new hobbies or travelling, whatever, but you spent it hating and scheming and egging each other on.  However anything I've ever said is nothing compared to what you have perpetuated upon me.  You have been responsible for my losing jobs, through harrassment and rumour mongering, you have invaded my privacy and slandered me, you have threatened and followed and lied and just kept on, your nasty comments and conversations I have overheard when i have been alone, have been called 'my hearing voices', yes I hear voices, your voices.  So I have been labelled schizophrenic, surely that's enough 'payback' for whatever you think I've done to you.  I guess it's optimistic of me to think you will stop.
All of you fictional, hypothetical, people, fictional neighbours and their families and friends who are not involved in my harrassment,  can't you build a hypothetical bridge and get over it?
