    Default Re: What to Do if Your Ex-Girlfriend Threatens Your Life

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Alabama
    Hey everyone,
    My ex girlfriend threatened to Shoot me in the head, burn the house I am living in down and hire someone to kill me. Cops came and they couldn't do anything that evening and they told me to go file for a Restraining order and go to Magistrates office.
    The following day I go and get an Order and its an Ex Parte Protection from abuse. She must surrender all firearms, stay away 1000 feet and stop contacting me. She has been contacting me all week and she finally got served and continued to contact me. She said she would pay me 1000 and 2000 to drop it. From my understanding that is bribing a witness, but I am not sure.
    Also, I have a warrant out for her arrest(hasn't been filed yet for some reason) for third degree harassment. I recently learned that threatening to hire a hitman is not a felony, GREAT. So, she is still out there walking around and she just bought a ticket to flee to South Carolina because she doesn't want to show up for court to share her side of the story for protection order.
    Now, I called the cops tonight and told him everything she said, eg; Paying me to drop it, she's leaving tomorrow etc and he basically laughed and said "call us if she shows up at your house" and left.
    She already violated the protection order nearly 100 times by texting me. I do not get why they are unable to do anything. She is suicidal as well, and they KNOW that.

    Sorry for the wall of text, I am very overwhelmed and I am fearful for my life. Tomorrow, I am changing my out of state license to an AL license and getting a pistol permit incase she hired someone.
    I am unfortunately stuck here in the state until the court date for permanent protection.

    P.S. I will be posting thread in Child Custody as well, because she is pregnant.
    Thanks.
    You have a warrant for her arrest? How do you have a warrant for her arrest? Or there IS a warrant for her arrest for that crime. You can't file warrants.

    Let her flee. That's her problem not yours. Then she's not bothering you. I'm pretty sure hiring a hitman is a crime of some kind.

    So what she's pregnant - you don't know it's yours. I would stay as far away from her as possible until you know you have a child with her.

    FYI, in some states, a private person CAN go before a magistrate and "swear out" an arrest warrant. I am not sure if the OP's state is one of those.

    EDIT: From his reply above, I think it is.

    Not trying to hijack this thread, but if I read this right are you saying that a court can issue a warrant on its own behalf in the absence of a prosecutor? If this is true, is this the case for all types of crimes, or just restraining order violations since they can be considered contempt of court order issues?
    If the court is notified of a violation of probation, through whatever means might be appropriate, the court can issue a warrant for the arrest of the suspect. I HAVE seen warrants issued from Family Court in my state when the court was advised of violations. I was present in one case where the judge actually told me to go find the defendant (at her home) and arrest her! How it might work in the OP's state, I can't say.
