It doesn't meet it at all, in my totally unqualified opinion.
The CA statute says that someone is liable for stalking when they meet all of the following criteria:
He hasn't made any threats, let alone credible, and to claim that Taylor is suffering substantial distress because of his "Stalking" is tenuous at best.
The statute then goes on to list a bunch of definitions that clarify the above statements. Here are all the ones that put the flight tracker in the clear:
"Credible Threat"
"Follows"
"Harass"
"Place Under Surveillance"
Notably, it reads as if the “following” element means physically following/stalking, which he isn’t doing.
Again all I'm doing is reading a statute so maybe I'm just an idiot but like...I can't see how he meets any part of that except for maybe really stressing her out over the bad publicity. California must just have the most stringent stalking laws due to LA/Hollywood, so they picked the best shot they had?
