Special/extra laws for vulnerable adults?

Post Reply New Topic

I am being bullied/harassed by an individual whom I do not know personally, which has escilated to a point where he will chase me in his car while I am driving and purposly drives his car into mine.

I wanted to know if there is any laws within the UK that give extra protection to vulnerable adults such as myself? I have diagnosed high functioning autism.

The police are basically telling me that harassment is a hard thing to prove and they are doubting all the evidence I have and everything so I want to know if there is any extra laws or special laws in this area which mean they have some duty to act reasonably given my condition(s) an the situation(s) I have been in.

I don't think an extra law will help you here - because stalking and harassment are already against the law as is dangerous driving.
