We've just seen the episode where Stalker Justin let himself in the
back door and Daisy was trapped until Daniel came home. What
surprised us was that Craig said that since the door was not locked,
there wasn't much the police could do.
Are the stalker laws that lax in England? I was surprised when she
first went to the police that nothing happened.

What are the three elements of stalking UK?
(e) loitering in any place (whether public or private), (f) interfering with any
property in the possession of a person, (g) watching or spying on a person. >Harassment that includes one or more of the above features is not automatically
stalking.
So, so far he hasn't done all three.
Entry, without force, through the unlocked door, is trespass and trespass isn't
criminal unless "aggravated", but a civil case. So, no, there was nothing Craig
could do.
It isn't so much though that the law is lax, but the application, as the need to
prove his behaviour had to come first, and then you have the usual misogynistic
behaviour of the police which is to be expected in any such story.
Have you seen the court case for an injunction?

Daniel referred to it as 'tomorrow' so I guess it's in the next
episode which I will watch sometime today. I am a further episode
behind as I have the paid subscription to CBC, purely in order that
when I view Corrie I can see it without all the ads interrupting :)
I have been hearing on Radio 4 all the scandal with the real police so
I suspect this is Corrie having a go at it :)

As this was all playing out, it occurred to me that since the police had pretty spelled out what was not criminal, because they could do nothing
about it, that if it happened to myself or someone I knew, that I would
take the "fight fire with fire approach".
That is, stalk him back with more intensity, being careful to not cross
the line.
Of course, that probably wouldn't make for a good soap opera plot.
Instead, the only fight back action taken is to step over the line and
we all know how that factored into the result.
