If your partner or ex-partner has started stalking you inside your own home and even collecting photographic evidence of you, this is a serious violation of your privacy, safety, and possibly the law. This behavior can escalate, so it’s important to take action immediately.

1. Recognize the Warning Signs

Your partner might be stalking you if they:

• Monitor your movements inside your home without consent.
• Place hidden cameras or recording devices in your living space.
• Track your phone, messages, or online activity.
• Show up unexpectedly in places you should have privacy.
• Collect photos, videos, or notes about where you go, what you do, and who you talk to.

If you’re experiencing any of these, you are being watched, and you need to act quickly.

2. Gather Your Own Evidence

Since they are collecting photographic evidence of you, you need to document their stalking behavior too:

• Take photos or videos of any hidden cameras, tampered devices, or unusual placements of objects.
• Screenshot any messages, calls, or emails that indicate control or obsessive behavior.
• Keep a detailed journal of incidents, including dates, times, and any witnesses.
• Check your home for hidden cameras, recording devices, or tracking software on your phone.

3. Secure Your Home & Privacy

• Change your locks if possible.
• Check for hidden cameras (inside smoke detectors, vents, light fixtures, outlets).
• Use a radio frequency (RF) detector to find hidden recording devices.
• Reset passwords for all online accounts and devices.
• Turn off location sharing on your phone and apps.

4. Seek Legal & Law Enforcement Help

• Contact the police and file a report with your evidence.
• Consider a restraining order if you fear for your safety.
• Speak to a lawyer about your rights and legal protection.

5. Tell Someone & Get Support

• Inform trusted family or friends about what’s happening.
• If you feel unsafe, stay with someone you trust while you sort out security measures.
• Reach out to a domestic abuse support group or legal advocate for guidance.

6. Prioritize Your Safety

• If you feel in immediate danger, leave the home and go somewhere safe.
• Trust your instincts—stalking often escalates, and you need to protect yourself.

This situation is extremely serious—do you need help identifying legal steps or securing your home further? 💛
