I was followed when I was walking home from a run in the park. I was pretty tired but noticed a guy behind me going the same way. He kept watching me and when I J-walked, he did too. I was roughly 30 meters ahead of him. I turned onto a residental street and once I knew the houses would conceal me, I took off, I couldn’t make it home so I stopped at a dog walkers house. I know her because I always bump into her walking her dog. She let me in and the cops drove me home. Please be safe out there!
It's really scary being followed. I was once tailed through the town centre. Although I shook the creep off eventually, my peace of mind was disturbed for quite some time.
I've been in this situation once and my instant reaction was to go into MCDonald's. This guy even followed me but I stay straight 2h in there and he had to leave eventually
I was being followed once and after like 30 mins I finally turned around and confronted him and he told me something that scared me, "yo dude chill, you're in line for tower of terror."
One time there was a guy behind me at the ATM. I felt something was not right so I cancelled the transaction and walked away. The guy behind me did not use the ATM but instead he followed close behind me. I walked into a random store and he just walked away and I never saw him again.
Followed around the grocery store up and down a few aisles, he never picked up anything. Turned around and looked him in the eye and asked if we were in his way. He mumbled no, put his head down and walked around us. I carry pepper spray, small taser & a knife. I was more worried about my kids than myself
T G I have a question about the taser. It shoots out those strings that shock him. So, if he attacked you or your child or children, and you tased him, do you just leave the taser gun with him, or how do you get those shocker things out of him? Do you have to go over, and pull them out, or does it have a neat thing that just pulls them back into the gun real fast, kinda like a cord in a mixer when you push the button it retracts it back into itself real fast!? If you have to leave it behind, that is terrible, and you would have to buy a new one, but if it has a way to retract them, then that is cool, and you can still have it for protection, and get away! Of course, I know if it is a choice of you and your children getting away, or retrieving the gun, you would leave the gun! Just wondering! Thank you! I am really happy that you are all ok! That is the MOST important thing! 🤗❤️
It’s like this one. It doesn’t have anything that shoots out of it. www.amazon.com/Keychain-Defense-Personal-Rechargeable-Strongest/dp/B074J8RBZN Thanks you can never be too careful.
I was in the produce section of the grocery store just before closing so no one else was around. I was kind of in a corner by a door that said employees only when I saw an "image" quickly approaching me so I quickly B-lined it just to get away from the corner and to where I would be in a more open area to run or scream since there weren't many people. I looked up as I was going and it was my husband.......laughing hysterically like, "Where the heck were you going?" I said, "Maaaaan all I thought was, Not today! Not today!" You can never be too careful.
I would think it's common sense I was followed off a bus late at night on the last bus home. I walked quickly ahead and ran down someone's garden , jumped a fence to another road. Did not turn around but kept at an even pace. Got to my house but didn't turn on the lights for quite a long time.
No doubt, when it comes to advice like this, you will get 'I already knew this' or 'how dumb'. Personally I find anything like this at least worth thinking about. And who knows, one day it might just come in handy.
I walk 5 miles a day to Winco and Walmart, but not after today. A very large empty parking lot was on my right, and a car dealership was across the street. I looked back to see if there were any cars coming so I could cross the street, surprised to see a masked, lanky guy walking behind me about 40 feet. As I waited for traffic to clear, he got closer. I crossed to the grassy median, totally jaywalking, and crossed the other side of the boulevard, and noticed him crossing there as well. I've NEVER seen anyone cross there. It's just an odd thing to do. My heart was pounding at this point. What had begun as my preference not to walk in front of a strange man (I'd much rather detour, stall, and walk a far distance behind him) my natural introverted tendency to distance myself from other walkers (which almost never needs to happen...I'm usually the only pedestrian) was now a very BIG coincidence. Why would he cross at the exact random non-intersection spot as me? I headed for the car dealership that was near, looking for their front entrance, and there were 3 salesmen standing around. I lost sight of the man in the lines of parked cars. I told the salesmen that I thought I was being followed, and we all looked up and down the street, but there was no sign of him. What I should do differently: don't have my earphones in. Look behind me periodically. Mix up my route. After crossing, walk in the opposite direction to confirm that he's following. Keep sight of him. I'm relieved there were plenty of big strong car salesmen, outside, to be a safe haven. I had no defense. I did have my phone. But strangely I didn't even consider using it. I was focused on getting into the presence of other people ASAP.
Same me and my friend were followed too ...first the guy was ahead of us he kept looking at us...stopped looked at his phone waited until we passed him and then he continued to follow us but luckily we saw people and just kind of walked with them ... we couldn't get away it was like a walking trail near the woods
I did an illogical zigzag, changing direction on dark lonely street and crossing the road whilst singing "nothing but the Blood of Jesus" he was certainly after me or my bag. Got home, thanked God and said I was sorry for putting myself at risk like that - evil exists.
Whenever I’m being followed while walking somewhere, I go into the nearest store and usually they don’t try going in. I’ve had some go in the store to still follow and kept looking for me but I eventually lost him and he left.
If I'm driving, I drive to the nearest Police Dept. (I know all of them). If on foot, get to a crowd, store manager, or Security Guard, policemen if possible, etc. and report it.
Boy I remember being at the 820 Walmart Texas and two guys we're following me I don't know how they knew my name I did not answer I kept walking I hid behind a toy shelf and they were following when they saw the cop they turned around and left the cop told me to go find my parents and I did I was only 15 every since then I've been aware of my surroundings I pray for those who have been kidnapped cuz that could have been me but somehow I got lucky and I pray for those who are not God bless
My friend and I were walking at the beach at night (that is pretty far from home) and on our way back home, at a pretty dark tunnel she told me she thinks we’re being followed by two guys who stood while we were walking past them. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do and a few seconds later she confronted them until they walked away far from us. I was shaking cause I didn’t even noticed them and I started thinking what would happen if I was alone. To be sure they didn’t keep following any of us when we separated to our houses, she took the bus and I called a mental help institution telling what happened to me and the worker was talking to me until I was sure I wasn’t being followed, for about 30 minutes. I don’t know if confronting them was the best option especially when we didn’t have protection but she did have guts so I was relived.
My girlfriend says the same thing. I tell her that this person is out to hurt you and doesn't care and that you need to hurt him first. Always go for the eyes.
well, if your life depended on it, where you literally think you may not come out of this alive, your instincts to save yourself will hopefully kick in
Sometimes people walk or in the way without paying attention and they see you walking behind and act like you following them. Its annoying because streets can be narrow and alot of times people walk to get ahead of others. But I understand the precautions and defense.
This shows us no one is safe.I moved to Manchester from London area after my mum died.Soon as I moved to Manchester I got followed by this Guy around the Shopping centre and that really scared me I went into a shop and I told the staff and the staff were really nice and the lady called the Security guard.That happened to me just a week after I moved into the area typical.
I've had it before where people mistakenly think I'M following them. Please, for the love of God, stop at a stand, or stop and look at your phone, or go into a store (or whatever) so innocent people such as myself can go about our day. Thanks
I am a guy and I used to walk home from a call center job I had every night and I got followed 4 times. Twice I think it was just some weirdo trying to be intimidating because he got a kick out of it. Another couple of times I think it was a gay guy who was cruising. Still scary though.
My bf and I were just followed at a public park, it was so weird. We were sitting on a bench eating a snack and playing pokemon go, when this strange guy with shades walked past super slow and stood over by the nearest bridge for the 10 mins we were resting. Then when we were figuring out which way we wanted to go home (we're in a new area) I saw the guy abruptly start following us and so we paused to look at a mural/map so I could scope him out. The guy legit stopped behind us, looking at the ground and pretending to be interested in his shoes and that's when I really knew something was up. Luckily a woman came jogging past and he realized we weren't going to be going any further so he was forced to continue walking the way we would've originally gone. It was a very quiet wooded path and I watch wayyyy too much true crime to end up a body ditched on the side of some creek. Even if it was an innocent mistake, I'm super grateful my father always taught me to be aware of my surroundings and to trust my gut. I knew something was off the second he passed us. Please listen to you intuition amd stay safe!
its easy and fun in studio but in reality none of these shits will work if you are not fully trained. this guy can show her all the tricks but if she does not go and train and build her body and get the strength she will not basically do anything if someone attacks her.
but what if when you picked up that you're being followed, the one whose following you realizes that, and start charging you without taking any distance? probably he will catch you and rob you or whatever
What if you confront them several times, but they dont say anything, and just continue following you everywhere? And if you do anything to them, they get you arrested?
hilly areas are the best. once you pass over the lip of the hill you duck down move to the side and watch wait for them. they were fucking raging when i did that
I had a guy follow me but lil did he know I already was watching him from the corner of my eye. I turned around and walked towards him so fast the guys knee literally buckled and just froze, I didn’t say a word to him, I usually wouldn’t say nothing, since I don’t negotiate nonsense with people I don’t know. Guy turned like a dime and crossed the street lol. I’ve learned to much street smarts. Never walk looking at your cell, no Walkman, make eye contact, if you followed walk away from the sidewalk and keep your strongest arm up towards your ear. Ninja warrior needs no eyes, keep your head up!!!
I was being followed in high school by a boy that wanted to date me but he never asked me out directly. Yeah these things are kinda obvious but it’s good to know when I suspected that I was being followed I would go to the restroom to test it out. He would wait for me outside and resume following me when I got out. I would also go a different direction and he would also follow and I would lag behind in class he would wait by the door for me.
Some dude was spying on me at a Central Park in my city. Light turned off on the side of the road next to the park and I watched him as he tried getting a vantage point of me. Chose to just walk up towards his car and he drove away. Didn’t know who he/she was. This has happened multiple times throughout my life and only once was it a group of guys following my sister and a babysitter.
I’m surprised at the 75% statistic. You’d think that would be a much higher percentage. Certainly an unsettling feeling to say the least. I’ve been followed and mugged as well in my home town. I was in a dodgy area. It was my first time in that part of town. Took about 4 minutes to get into unwanted trouble. Unfortunately, there weren’t any stairs or hiding places. It was the north end of winnipeg. Not fun!
I'm beiing stalked every day for a year they sit in my parking lot at work there sit in my apt no matter what time of day or night there. They always honk to let me know there still there sooo creepy!
I'm only 14 and a lot of older men follow me home, I'm scared a lot of them know where I live 😰😰😰 I'm also being catcalled and this is making me even more anxious
Too much good looks probably. I'd advice if you're that concerned.or scared about it to wear something that would hide your body like big shirt,.not much make up, wear cap. Probably will help
@@joanurb8015 being followed doesnt mean only good looks my country women cover up because it’s common here we wear “Abaya” and i still get followed and they don’t know what i look like
please talk to your parents or an adult about it so they can help u and NEVER go out alone get someone with u like a family member they wouldn’t DARE catcalling u. if u are ever going out alone and someone is following u don’t walk on your own go into crowded areas they can’t lay a hand on u because there are too many people. and if u are ever home alone and scared they will come close the doors and lock it, if u see them at your door coming act like there isn’t anyone home. Stay safe people are so disgusting for cat calling women (even men sometimes) hope these tips help u. if u have anymore questions about what to do in a situation u can reply to my comment i’ll reply as soon as i see it
When you are being followed, you turn around and hug him and scream not letting him go..... also for car follows you have to go 5 mph holding the horn and ignoring traffic... someone will come up to your driver door usually a cop.
These tips are trash. I have some better ones. 1. walk or drive to the nearest police station 2. turn around and look directly at the person, the fact that you see them seeing you may spook off a person who's trying to secretly follow you 3. pretend you're on a call setting up a meeting with someone preferably a male 4. if you carry pepper spray or a weapon make it visible to the person. This may sound extreme but you have two scenarios... if it's someone who is not following you they may be a little creeped out, but if it is someone who is following you you just saved your own life.
Professional surveillance teams (especially with the possibility of surveillance at home etc) make life very difficult, especially once you lose the ability to discern the ability to discern Professional surveillance teams from members of the public which makes you unable to trust people or at least very difficult, particularly strangers and even people who might approach you including anyone giving you a tap on the shoulder should such a situation occur, especially once actors from different nations are involved, especially once hyperpartisan divisions in any of these countries become obvious...
I just stopped after I rounded a corner then turned and waited for him to make the same turn when he do I'll be looking right at him, he stopped and started acting like he wasn't following me I stay staring at him for like 1 min probably I don't know then I guess he didn't want to get killed by me so I walked away and he didn't follow any more this was last night at 3am omw back from the store It's true evil fears evil he wanted a victim but found the main Suspect.
CARRIE THOMPSON well that and if u make 3 left turns u end up back where u were and then you'd know u are being followed cause why would someone come right back to where they started
Once few goons did followed me After few mins I WAS FOLLOWING THEM 😁 it's not a joke i took a speed drive and circled back from short cut which seems they didn't knew 😗😗
today a man followed me i think i’m not sure but he was behind me and before that he was waiting at my neighbors house and i don’t know what to do because it’s a 10 minute walk from my house to the bus station and it’s dark and everyone is asleep. I’m scared but i don’t want to tell my parents. also i kind of have to walk through this dark alley to get to the bus station and i don’t know what to do
I remember when I was 13 years old. It was the last day of school. My evil teacher Ms. Erica kept on harassing me to take my clothes off and two 12-year-old boys in my class named Bryan Edmun Orzle Troup and Matthew Thomas Connors were physically hurting my little brother Seth, who went to the school with me. He was 9 years old at the time. They threw Seth into a wall and tried to kill him. But I grabbed Seth by the arm and we both ran to our uncle Andrew's house since he lives close to the school. We were being followed by Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt. Since Andrew works from home, I banged on the door multiple times. Andrew then came to answer the door and I asked him if me and Seth could stay with him since we were being followed. He saw Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt, and let us in his house and locked the door. Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt, kept on banging at the door. Since it was such a hot day outside, he gave us cold water and asked us what happened. I told him that Ms. Erica was harassing me to take my clothes off while giving me two black eyes and a bloody nose and that Bryan and Matt threw Seth against a wall causing a big hole and tried to kill him. Andrew then called Daddy, his older brother, and told him to take me and Seth to the doctors since we both had black eyes and bloody noses and bruises. Then he told us to go wait in the backyard until Daddy got there. When Daddy texted me saying that he was here, I grabbed Seth by the arm and we both ran to Daddy's car while Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt, were too busy banging on Andrew's front door. Daddy then took us to the doctors and Seth had to go to the emergency room. I got a nose X-Ray because it felt broken. It wasn't even broken. It was just badly bruised. But then, my uncle Andrew answered his front door, got Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt, into his house, and yelled at them for physically hurting his niece and nephew. Then he called the police. One police officer were a good friend of Ms. Erica's, so he just took her home. The other police officer was a heavily pregnant woman with children of her own, so she took Bryan and Matt home. Bryan and Matt were grounded and had to do all the housework and Bryan had to clean up after his dog with his bare hands, which showed how disgusting he truly was. Matt had to say his prayers in Irish Gaelic, Scots Gaelic, Lao, and Thai, which are all difficult languages. He had to do it for hurting the Duggans. Then he had to do all the housework. Ms. Erica, who still lived with her parents at the time, was sent to her room and had her television and computer taken away from her. She wasn't allowed to speak on the phone. She didn't get her phone taken away because I have already taken her phone away from her when she wasn't looking. Ms. Erica's phone and phone number became Mommy's phone and phone number. I really have saved my brother's life that day. I am 26 years old and Seth is 21 years old. We're both autistic. Seth will turn 22 years old on May 25th. Ms. Erica's friend warned her that if she ever did that to another child ever again, she will be arrested.

I was being followed on the bike today with a friend by two men dressed in black, they wanted to sexually assault us and harassed us, calling us gay and asking why we were speaking English in a country that doesn’t speak English.
My new girlfriend's ex boyfriend thinks I'm stalking her well she is not exactly my girlfriend yet and she is still seeing her ex but we can be together after he dies in a house fire on Sunday night.
Or if you dont find one, i think (this one is a crazy one) get under or behind a car like an SUV till he looses you. He will never spot you under or behind a big suv. Maybe you can hide between parallel parked cars. It’s difficult to spot. I’ve been here done that 😀❤️
But this won't work with real criminals who maybe just want to use a syringe on you, which is the most used murder weapon in Scandinavia and it does not get investigated because it just gets reg as od even if the person aren't using that drug,, some put in something so you lose your ability to speak and seems psychotic takes just a few seconds, guns are expensive noisy illegal (if you ain't a sports shooter or hunter) and will get investigated. The real danger with this is that often they do it on the wrong people because they looks a bit similar or the killer just doing random, which happened a lot in the 2000s then mugged the dead body. You do not want the follower to catch up, so stopping is very stupid, when average people kill you that easy without any danger of being caught,, what do you think mossad or something like that mistake you for a target and you stop,, like mossad did at Lillehammer Norway (shot with a 22 with a silencer from inside a bag when passing him, don't let them pass you then they already semi control which direction you walk and he might not be alone but just the guy chasing you into a trap,, anyways I was looking for videos of how to spot the members of a mugging team, her they often try to just grab something and say it's theirs when you resist you get hit from the back by people who seems to be bystanders or coming to see what's happening,,, hard to search for,,my problem is that people usaly want to steal my insane and expensive bike, the chain i use as extra lock started becoming bike defender to, it's a really heavy one meter chain and I been forced to whip myself free from small gangs trying to hold on and push me over. When I'm home I use it to chain the bike to the radiator in my living room before putting on alarms and stuff, it's insane what I had to go trough in very short time to just be able to have fun with it in the city parks where I live,,, sad this video said nothing about when other syclists following you only to see where you stop to steal it..
this soy boy was not a legit CIA Field Agent Special Activities Division (SAD) Officer. A pogue who pushed pencils in a Langley cubicle like 90% of CIA drone employees. Now that he had a mediocre couple of years (not retired) he's trying to spin that into a new gig (good luck with that). He was NEVER in the Military nor received special training in the CIA. he's just yapping common sense here and he has 0.00 fighting skills. My 5 year old sister could beat him up.

yeah i know it has nothing to do with this topic but im sure fucking anxious when im behind someone and in front of them because i think that they would think that im following them and they usually go the same way where im going and i fucking hate it
There was this person on drugs, following my mum and I to the shops. He was saying things that made me scared, he stopped following me though so it’s fine
Or, you can take your phone out and look at it quick, do a reversal walk right back towards the person, that person will keep walking straight, then you take him down in any number of fashions from behind. I'm surprised he didn't mention that...
My family and I were followed through a store, to the parking lot, down the street, so we drove to a police station, they quit following us.
You could also drive to a justin beiber concert for the same result. Pro tip!
Same thing w/ me. I confront a shoplifter in my vehicle & he angrily followed me so I just drove to the local PD lol. He left.
Your whole family? Jeez

I always carry pepper spray - the kind that mail carriers use. I shoots far and in a stream. Available at bicycle shops and on Amazon.
Stop going alone. Stop taking the same rout for walking shopping etc, public routines of terrain and time are NOT your friend.
I got trailed once in New York and acted like I was "crazy," not overtly but with odd little quirky motions. I got "unfollowed, soon enuff.
I was followed before it was so scary ! I was able to get away but it was so scary !

Stepping into an elevator? Ok so if the person manages to get in with me I'm gawn! Seriously what is this crap
I think he means escalator.
Its the worst advice Ive heard. And, a top level CIA agent saying elevator but meaning escalator...high level CIA tactics my ass!
Leon Smoothy In the sense of the SDR, Elevators are literally the best tool and work in passive Self-defence, especially in a Shopping Center
Isis Sahara I think the idea was to board it with other people
If the stalker is in the elevator with u, u should defend urself and fight back: punch in the nose, eyes and stuff.

If I'm driving, I drive to the nearest Police Dept. (I know all of them). If on foot, get to a crowd, store manager, or Security Guard, policemen if possible, etc. and report it.
Who cares if they know you see them following you? I let it be known I see them and am very aware of my surroundings. Usually deters them then.
Boy I remember being at the 820 Walmart Texas and two guys we're following me I don't know how they knew my name I did not answer I kept walking I hid behind a toy shelf and they were following when they saw the cop they turned around and left the cop told me to go find my parents and I did I was only 15 every since then I've been aware of my surroundings I pray for those who have been kidnapped cuz that could have been me but somehow I got lucky and I pray for those who are not God bless
Skylor Madden Thank The LORD for sending the coo to protect you, or maybe he was an angel!

@@carriethompson9826 thanks I know that the Lord was with me I somehow got lucky lol
My friend and I were walking at the beach at night (that is pretty far from home) and on our way back home, at a pretty dark tunnel she told me she thinks we’re being followed by two guys who stood while we were walking past them. I was in shock and didn’t know what to do and a few seconds later she confronted them until they walked away far from us. I was shaking cause I didn’t even noticed them and I started thinking what would happen if I was alone. To be sure they didn’t keep following any of us when we separated to our houses, she took the bus and I called a mental help institution telling what happened to me and the worker was talking to me until I was sure I wasn’t being followed, for about 30 minutes.
I don’t know if confronting them was the best option especially when we didn’t have protection but she did have guts so I was relived.
If I attack my attacker's EYES, I'm gonna be more traumatized than him. Can't do it. Cannot do it.
OMG SAME I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
@@luke1330 lol you're definitely not alone!
I KNOWWWW
My girlfriend says the same thing. I tell her that this person is out to hurt you and doesn't care and that you need to hurt him first. Always go for the eyes.
well, if your life depended on it, where you literally think you may not come out of this alive, your instincts to save yourself will hopefully kick in
Sometimes people walk or in the way without paying attention and they see you walking behind and act like you following them. Its annoying because streets can be narrow and alot of times people walk to get ahead of others.
But I understand the precautions and defense.
This shows us no one is safe.I moved to Manchester from London area after my mum died.Soon as I moved to Manchester I got followed by this Guy around the Shopping centre and that really scared me I went into a shop and I told the staff and the staff were really nice and the lady called the Security guard.That happened to me just a week after I moved into the area typical.
I've had it before where people mistakenly think I'M following them. Please, for the love of God, stop at a stand, or stop and look at your phone, or go into a store (or whatever) so innocent people such as myself can go about our day. Thanks
1st time seeing J. on this show, he gives us really goood advise !!!
It takes a “spy” to tell you these tips.. anyone with common sense would know this
It's called marketing. He teaches basic self defense and labels it "Spy tactics". That's his business.
I always fail the common sense test, like, EVERY SINGLE QUESTION= *WRONG*
I am a guy and I used to walk home from a call center job I had every night and I got followed 4 times.
Twice I think it was just some weirdo trying to be intimidating because he got a kick out of it.
Another couple of times I think it was a gay guy who was cruising.
Still scary though.
My bf and I were just followed at a public park, it was so weird. We were sitting on a bench eating a snack and playing pokemon go, when this strange guy with shades walked past super slow and stood over by the nearest bridge for the 10 mins we were resting. Then when we were figuring out which way we wanted to go home (we're in a new area) I saw the guy abruptly start following us and so we paused to look at a mural/map so I could scope him out. The guy legit stopped behind us, looking at the ground and pretending to be interested in his shoes and that's when I really knew something was up. Luckily a woman came jogging past and he realized we weren't going to be going any further so he was forced to continue walking the way we would've originally gone. It was a very quiet wooded path and I watch wayyyy too much true crime to end up a body ditched on the side of some creek. Even if it was an innocent mistake, I'm super grateful my father always taught me to be aware of my surroundings and to trust my gut. I knew something was off the second he passed us. Please listen to you intuition amd stay safe!
its easy and fun in studio but in reality none of these shits will work if you are not fully trained.
this guy can show her all the tricks but if she does not go and train and build her body and get the strength she will not basically do anything if someone attacks her.
you don't need a whole lot of training to kick someone in the nuts
I'm just gonna look back and be like wassup foo and bam just start swinging
that's not realistic; he could easily take out knife and start swinging back
How about as soon as you spot them run straight at them full speed naruto style. That should throw them off their game.
but what if when you picked up that you're being followed, the one whose following you realizes that, and start charging you without taking any distance? probably he will catch you and rob you or whatever
Kick him in the balls if he robs you Rob him of the chance of having kids
I turn around and throw my hands up and say please don't hurt me ill do whatever you want.
Run. And scream.
What if you confront them several times, but they dont say anything, and just continue following you everywhere? And if you do anything to them, they get you arrested?
hilly areas are the best. once you pass over the lip of the hill you duck down move to the side and watch wait for them. they were fucking raging when i did that
I had a guy follow me but lil did he know I already was watching him from the corner of my eye. I turned around and walked towards him so fast the guys knee literally buckled and just froze, I didn’t say a word to him, I usually wouldn’t say nothing, since I don’t negotiate nonsense with people I don’t know. Guy turned like a dime and crossed the street lol. I’ve learned to much street smarts. Never walk looking at your cell, no Walkman, make eye contact, if you followed walk away from the sidewalk and keep your strongest arm up towards your ear. Ninja warrior needs no eyes, keep your head up!!!
I was being followed in high school by a boy that wanted to date me but he never asked me out directly. Yeah these things are kinda obvious but it’s good to know when I suspected that I was being followed I would go to the restroom to test it out. He would wait for me outside and resume following me when I got out. I would also go a different direction and he would also follow and I would lag behind in class he would wait by the door for me.
Some dude was spying on me at a Central Park in my city. Light turned off on the side of the road next to the park and I watched him as he tried getting a vantage point of me. Chose to just walk up towards his car and he drove away. Didn’t know who he/she was.
This has happened multiple times throughout my life and only once was it a group of guys following my sister and a babysitter.
I’m surprised at the 75% statistic. You’d think that would be a much higher percentage. Certainly an unsettling feeling to say the least. I’ve been followed and mugged as well in my home town. I was in a dodgy area. It was my first time in that part of town. Took about 4 minutes to get into unwanted trouble. Unfortunately, there weren’t any stairs or hiding places. It was the north end of winnipeg. Not fun!
What street and what time? I live in the area.
I'm beiing stalked every day for a year they sit in my parking lot at work there sit in my apt no matter what time of day or night there. They always honk to let me know there still there sooo creepy!
I'm only 14 and a lot of older men follow me home, I'm scared a lot of them know where I live 😰😰😰
I'm also being catcalled and this is making me even more anxious
Too much good looks probably. I'd advice if you're that concerned.or scared about it to wear something that would hide your body like big shirt,.not much make up, wear cap. Probably will help
@@joanurb8015 being followed doesnt mean only good looks my country women cover up because it’s common here we wear “Abaya” and i still get followed and they don’t know what i look like
please talk to your parents or an adult about it so they can help u and NEVER go out alone get someone with u like a family member they wouldn’t DARE catcalling u. if u are ever going out alone and someone is following u don’t walk on your own go into crowded areas they can’t lay a hand on u because there are too many people. and if u are ever home alone and scared they will come close the doors and lock it, if u see them at your door coming act like there isn’t anyone home. Stay safe people are so disgusting for cat calling women (even men sometimes) hope these tips help u. if u have anymore questions about what to do in a situation u can reply to my comment i’ll reply as soon as i see it
@@perrytheplatypus9363 thank you so much, I really appreciate your advices :( ❤❤❤ I'm gonna make sure I follow them
@@joanurb8015 that's actually what I wear all the time :( baggy clothes and no makeup but it still happens I don't know what to do
If someone follows you, just relax and then you scream in the middle of the street like a crazy guy who about to get arrested by the police
When you are being followed, you turn around and hug him and scream not letting him go..... also for car follows you have to go 5 mph holding the horn and ignoring traffic... someone will come up to your driver door usually a cop.
Seems good
don't agree with the first one, but the second one is a good idea
These tips are trash. I have some better ones. 1. walk or drive to the nearest police station 2. turn around and look directly at the person, the fact that you see them seeing you may spook off a person who's trying to secretly follow you 3. pretend you're on a call setting up a meeting with someone preferably a male 4. if you carry pepper spray or a weapon make it visible to the person. This may sound extreme but you have two scenarios... if it's someone who is not following you they may be a little creeped out, but if it is someone who is following you you just saved your own life.
thank you bud I appreciate that
Turn a corner, run for like 5 seconds. Turn another corner, run 5 more, and you get farther and farther away. If they start chasing, run like hell
And what if the person isn't following you and you're just on his way to home ?
Why I know all these before this?
Because its common sense
Professional surveillance teams (especially with the possibility of surveillance at home etc) make life very difficult, especially once you lose the ability to discern the ability to discern Professional surveillance teams from members of the public which makes you unable to trust people or at least very difficult, particularly strangers and even people who might approach you including anyone giving you a tap on the shoulder should such a situation occur, especially once actors from different nations are involved, especially once hyperpartisan divisions in any of these countries become obvious...
Seriously, was that one of the guys from "A flock of Seagulls" walking into the restaurant behind him with the jacked up hair? Lol
1:59 what if they’re not going the same place as you though
Anytime you leave your home safety tips.
I just stopped after I rounded a corner then turned and waited for him to make the same turn when he do I'll be looking right at him, he stopped and started acting like he wasn't following me I stay staring at him for like 1 min probably I don't know then I guess he didn't want to get killed by me so I walked away and he didn't follow any more this was last night at 3am omw back from the store
It's true evil fears evil he wanted a victim but found the main Suspect.
High Level Spy Skill just got added to my resume lol
I twitch, scream & hit myself in the head. I did this once, when a guy followed me from work. The guy diverted across the road so fast!
How do they know which store your at seem to be there at the same time
Hello! Do you have a link for the glow bracelets?
Everyone knew this already.i thought some high level useful trick will be told. Guess there is not much knowledge afterall...
I didn't know many of these things, I'm pretty aloof at times.
Thanks 🙏
Just take four left turns..
And then you will know if you are being followed
Tom Kushal Oh, so you will be behind him then?
CARRIE THOMPSON well that and if u make 3 left turns u end up back where u were and then you'd know u are being followed cause why would someone come right back to where they started
How will you be behind him? He'll always be behind you if he's following you.
But what about after it is confirmed that you’re being followed 100% 😀
@@carriethompson9826 yes that's what he meant 😗
Once few goons did followed me
After few mins I WAS FOLLOWING THEM 😁
it's not a joke i took a speed drive and circled back from short cut which seems they didn't knew 😗😗
Walk close to every camera and wave and point at the person following you
I do this when banking...if I am getting a large sum I take my Rottie...I dont even live in a city
today a man followed me i think i’m not sure but he was behind me and before that he was waiting at my neighbors house and i don’t know what to do because it’s a 10 minute walk from my house to the bus station and it’s dark and everyone is asleep. I’m scared but i don’t want to tell my parents. also i kind of have to walk through this dark alley to get to the bus station and i don’t know what to do
I hope now you're fine❤️
Please get some help
Thanks
I remember when I was 13 years old. It was the last day of school. My evil teacher Ms. Erica kept on harassing me to take my clothes off and two 12-year-old boys in my class named Bryan Edmun Orzle Troup and Matthew Thomas Connors were physically hurting my little brother Seth, who went to the school with me. He was 9 years old at the time. They threw Seth into a wall and tried to kill him. But I grabbed Seth by the arm and we both ran to our uncle Andrew's house since he lives close to the school. We were being followed by Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt. Since Andrew works from home, I banged on the door multiple times. Andrew then came to answer the door and I asked him if me and Seth could stay with him since we were being followed. He saw Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt, and let us in his house and locked the door. Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt, kept on banging at the door. Since it was such a hot day outside, he gave us cold water and asked us what happened. I told him that Ms. Erica was harassing me to take my clothes off while giving me two black eyes and a bloody nose and that Bryan and Matt threw Seth against a wall causing a big hole and tried to kill him. Andrew then called Daddy, his older brother, and told him to take me and Seth to the doctors since we both had black eyes and bloody noses and bruises. Then he told us to go wait in the backyard until Daddy got there. When Daddy texted me saying that he was here, I grabbed Seth by the arm and we both ran to Daddy's car while Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt, were too busy banging on Andrew's front door. Daddy then took us to the doctors and Seth had to go to the emergency room. I got a nose X-Ray because it felt broken. It wasn't even broken. It was just badly bruised. But then, my uncle Andrew answered his front door, got Ms. Erica, Bryan, and Matt, into his house, and yelled at them for physically hurting his niece and nephew. Then he called the police. One police officer were a good friend of Ms. Erica's, so he just took her home. The other police officer was a heavily pregnant woman with children of her own, so she took Bryan and Matt home. Bryan and Matt were grounded and had to do all the housework and Bryan had to clean up after his dog with his bare hands, which showed how disgusting he truly was. Matt had to say his prayers in Irish Gaelic, Scots Gaelic, Lao, and Thai, which are all difficult languages. He had to do it for hurting the Duggans. Then he had to do all the housework. Ms. Erica, who still lived with her parents at the time, was sent to her room and had her television and computer taken away from her. She wasn't allowed to speak on the phone. She didn't get her phone taken away because I have already taken her phone away from her when she wasn't looking. Ms. Erica's phone and phone number became Mommy's phone and phone number. I really have saved my brother's life that day. I am 26 years old and Seth is 21 years old. We're both autistic. Seth will turn 22 years old on May 25th. Ms. Erica's friend warned her that if she ever did that to another child ever again, she will be arrested.
Watch Dateline ID's Over My Dead Body and you'll know what to do. You don't need training. You need to avoid putting yourself in bad situations and trust your instinct if you do.
My instinct is to put my hands up and say please don't hurt me I'll do whatever you want.
I love this video
Excellent tips.
I say start following them instead
I was being followed on the bike today with a friend by two men dressed in black, they wanted to sexually assault us and harassed us, calling us gay and asking why we were speaking English in a country that doesn’t speak English.
Should file a police complain
I think I'm followed by Europol
i have been when i was younger
The real mystery is where did Rachael's neck go
Someone was following me today, it was so scary.

Creepy psycho
@@joanurb8015 dark humour don't worry about it too much .
Cant find a video about this but what do you do when someone in a CAR is following you when you're WALKING from school
Maybe get into the nearest gas station shops.
Or if you dont find one, i think (this one is a crazy one) get under or behind a car like an SUV till he looses you. He will never spot you under or behind a big suv. Maybe you can hide between parallel parked cars. It’s difficult to spot. I’ve been here done that 😀❤️
But this won't work with real criminals who maybe just want to use a syringe on you, which is the most used murder weapon in Scandinavia and it does not get investigated because it just gets reg as od even if the person aren't using that drug,, some put in something so you lose your ability to speak and seems psychotic takes just a few seconds, guns are expensive noisy illegal (if you ain't a sports shooter or hunter) and will get investigated. The real danger with this is that often they do it on the wrong people because they looks a bit similar or the killer just doing random, which happened a lot in the 2000s then mugged the dead body. You do not want the follower to catch up, so stopping is very stupid, when average people kill you that easy without any danger of being caught,, what do you think mossad or something like that mistake you for a target and you stop,, like mossad did at Lillehammer Norway (shot with a 22 with a silencer from inside a bag when passing him, don't let them pass you then they already semi control which direction you walk and he might not be alone but just the guy chasing you into a trap,, anyways I was looking for videos of how to spot the members of a mugging team, her they often try to just grab something and say it's theirs when you resist you get hit from the back by people who seems to be bystanders or coming to see what's happening,,, hard to search for,,my problem is that people usaly want to steal my insane and expensive bike, the chain i use as extra lock started becoming bike defender to, it's a really heavy one meter chain and I been forced to whip myself free from small gangs trying to hold on and push me over. When I'm home I use it to chain the bike to the radiator in my living room before putting on alarms and stuff, it's insane what I had to go trough in very short time to just be able to have fun with it in the city parks where I live,,, sad this video said nothing about when other syclists following you only to see where you stop to steal it..
There are nice people in the CIA as well.
Can you also like go up to a stranger and pretend that's your friend?
good idea
I cant help it if girls are following me
Lol! 😂 😉
this soy boy was not a legit CIA Field Agent Special Activities Division (SAD) Officer. A pogue who pushed pencils in a Langley cubicle like 90% of CIA drone employees. Now that he had a mediocre couple of years (not retired) he's trying to spin that into a new gig (good luck with that). He was NEVER in the Military nor received special training in the CIA. he's just yapping common sense here and he has 0.00 fighting skills. My 5 year old sister could beat him up.
call the police 2:53,
oops, it’s the police that’s actually following 🤦♂️

I walk like that normally after I smoke a doobie
yeah i know it has nothing to do with this topic but im sure fucking anxious when im behind someone and in front of them because i think that they would think that im following them and they usually go the same way where im going and i fucking hate it
Calm down and follow Gracie
Plot twist I follow them
There was this person on drugs, following my mum and I to the shops. He was saying things that made me scared, he stopped following me though so it’s fine

Does Rachael have no neck?
Or, you can take your phone out and look at it quick, do a reversal walk right back towards the person, that person will keep walking straight, then you take him down in any number of fashions from behind. I'm surprised he didn't mention that...
he looks like bryan callen
I love it...
