We won this round.

The court has ordered me to not gloat on Facebook about my victory in court today.  I was also ordered to remove all Facebook posts directly relating to Ms. Miller.   Those posts have been removed  and nothing further will be added.

We were successful in getting the judge to sign what I will call a "Cesar Millan" anti-harassment order.  That means "no touch, no talk, no eye contact."  The order also prohibits the Respondent from taking pictures of us or of our property.

While we were successful today, I do not recommend resorting to using our court system until you feel there is no other option.  Preparing for and going to court is STRESSFUL.  It can also be expensive.  In our case there was no chance of of reasoning our way to a resolution.

What does this all mean?  Well, a restraining order is just a piece of paper.  However, violating a restraining order is 'contempt of court' and can result in criminal charges.  Stay tuned for that :(

What next?  Well, I suspect our success will inspire other harassed neighbors to file for their own anti-harassment order.  Time will tell,,,
