What should I do if I am followed by others? What is the law?

You can call the police if you find someone following you, and the behavior of the perpetrator following others generally does not constitute a crime. Stalking others involves invading the privacy of the other party, which is a general illegal act and can be detained for up to five days or fined up to 500 yuan by the administrative department. You can also file a civil lawsuit, asking the other party to stop the infringement, apologize, eliminate the influence and compensate for the losses.

What are the forms of privacy invasion?

Forms of invasion of privacy include:

1, invading the house;

2. Monitoring;

3. Stealing and opening other people's letters without permission, knowing other people's secrets and infringing on their privacy;

4. Publicly disclose or publicize the privacy of others.

To sum up, according to the laws of our country, anyone who follows others, peeks into others' privacy or threatens others and interferes with others' normal life can be punished by public security management.
