Document Like It's Going to Court — Because It Might
Start a dated log: what you experienced, when, where, how long, and any witnesses. Preserve devices, messages, mail, and anything physical. Consistency over time is powerful — a contemporaneous record made the day something happened carries far more weight than a memory reconstructed months later. This is unglamorous, and it is the single most valuable thing you can do.
The Physics Mistake That Sinks Cases
Many well-meaning people record audio on a phone app and believe it captures a directed-energy signal. It does not. Phone and acoustic apps measure sound — pressure waves in the air. Radio-frequency and microwave energy is a different physics entirely, and capturing it credibly requires the right instrument: a software-defined radio (SDR), proper methodology, source attribution, and a documented chain of custody. Saying so plainly protects you from spending years building a record that an opposing expert will dismantle in minutes.
Identify an Actor, Find a Statute
Evidence becomes legal leverage when it points to an identifiable actor. If a real signal and source can be documented, the FCC's prohibition on willful interference and unauthorized transmission (47 U.S.C. § 333) comes into play. Where there is an identifiable person engaged in a course of conduct, stalking and computer-crime laws apply — federal 18 U.S.C. § 2261A and California Penal Code §§ 646.9 and 502, plus the civil stalking statute (Civil Code § 1708.7). The law has hooks; they just need facts to hang on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prove V2K with a phone recording app?
No — those apps measure sound, not radio-frequency energy. Credible RF evidence needs an SDR, correct methodology, and chain of custody.
What makes electronic-harassment evidence admissible?
A consistent contemporaneous record, properly captured technical data, and — ideally — attribution to an identifiable actor or signal source.
