[quote=Anonymous]Okay long story short, I dated this guy who lives in the same condo complex as I do.
We were off + on for about 15 mos. - - - - he was extremely abusive.
I.e., wouldn’t let me leave his house, would restrain me using force, gave me a few black eyes, etc.
Anyway I successfully obtained a restraining order against him which he abided by the past six mos.
However most recently he has violated it.
He hasn’t called or come to my house &gt; but since all the condos share a common lobby mailbox, he will see me when I check my mail and will shout things at me.
I.e., “Hey there!”, “What?? You cannot say Hi to me?!”, etc.

For proof, I record him on my cellphone and have contacted the Police.
When they come to my house and I show them my video while telling them how he talks to me they agree that he is in violation of the order then go to his house to talk to him.
Well my ex turns his lights off, is quiet…he doesn’t answer his door pretending he is not home.

This has happened 2x thus far.
The police concede that they know he is likely avoiding them on purpose but said that they cannot “bust in” to his home w/o a warrant, etc.

I feel like my ex is playing a game w/me and the cops are sympathetic to my plight, they haven’t been much help. 😔

Is there anything else I can do to punish this guy for violating the order of protection?
Because it is starting to feel useless at this point….[/quote]
