 | 1: Had a scumsucking pos serve a AVO on me, but the AVO says he is a relative under s4[6] of the crimes act. He isn't..the closest he came is trying to get with my wife. His complaint is that I have driven past his residence 6 times, turning around just after passing his flat, and stated that this must be for stalking and intimidation. I had an incident that I lodged a complaint about concerning his workplace behaviour, and he has changed the circumstances to make me look bad. (I have the companies reply that has my original complaint). My defences are going to be, I have driven up this road a few times while looking at xmas lights, but not as many times as he has said. There are at least 2 other cars identical to mine in the area, not to mention my daughter also drives my car. As my story of what occured in his workplace is backed up by written evidence and shows his version of what I supposedly complained about is incorrect.... am I screwed, or do I have a chance..
2. Prior to the avo hearing I have a malicious damage charge for damaging his tail lights... any help out there....

Why - do you intend to continue the stalking you have engaged in so far?
> 2. Prior to the avo hearing I have a malicious damage charge for damaging > his tail lights... > any help out there....
Considering your comments elsewhere as well as here, you are guilty as charged of "stalking and intimidation" - and guilty of smashing the guy's tail lights as well (criminal damage). I suggest you STOP harassing the person - but then the AVO will make it rather less attractive as a jail term is the reward for NOT complying with it. It sound like your Mrs has given you the marching orders - then do so and get on with life! Don't start using your kids as ammunition (or a shield) in your vendetta, they will not thank you for it!

An AVO is not a charge that you committed an offence. The worst that can happen is that you'll be ordered to leave him alone and stay away from him. There's no fine, or other punishment.
> > 2. Prior to the avo hearing I have a malicious damage charge for damaging > his tail lights... > any help out there....
Is there any evidence? Or is it nothing more than an allegation? Don't forget that if you defend the matter, the prosecution has to prove you're guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
BTW, which state are you in, because it affects the law (a bit)?
Sylvia.

I understand that, but this sick sob is likely to make stuff up saying I breached the avo, so I don't want to give him the chance... He has smashed a laptop my wife was using, stolen my car the wife was using, smashed it while drunk and attacked the cops when they arrested him (dec 2003)

NSW, and as for evidence, it is his word against mine...the police who picked me up a few minutes later were unable to find the wheel brace I allegedly used. Still deciding wether to defend the damage charge or go for guilty with an explanation.

If by that you mean you did it, but they can't prove it, I wouldn't put much store by pleading guilty with an 'explanation'. There are no excuses for criminal damage.
The problem with pleading not-guilty if you did it is that you can't take the witness stand and deny it (perjury, which is a much more serious crime that criminal damage), so there'd be his evidence that you did it (I'm assuming he saw it), and no evidence to refute that. You'd be found guilty.
So if you did it, please guilty, and express contrition. If you didn't do it, plead not-guilty, take the stand, and state that you didn't. I think you would be acquitted.

All things being equal, the prosecution will have difficulty in proving its case beyond reasonable doubt. This depends on the nerve of the accused, of course.

Er, I just said that he couldn't (see simplified form above), and gave my reason. Do you disagree?

I disagree that he can't do what you say he can't. He can. My point is that people are free to make their own choices, and wear any consequences, but they need to know what they are first.

OK - there's nothing that will physically prevent him. It is unlawful, however.

I would plead not guilty and fight it to the end, but as I may be starting a new job out of town, I won't be able to afford the time.

100% right. He only needs to complain to the Police and they are required to act. Acting on this complaint is not the police giving you a phone call and having a nice chat. This is how it will work:
They will: Stop you most likely of a night. Tell you of the complaint. They may allow you the option to come to the Police station but most likly they will arrest you and convey you to the Police station. Either way once at the Police station you are arrested.
They are require to search you. You must hand over you property such as wallet, money, keys and phone. (If you know you are going to be arrested its better to leave these in a safe place rather than hand them tot he police.) You then wait 30 to 60 minutes in the cells with who ever else they have at the station at the time while they have a cuppa.
After an hour or so they will interview you. They will not ask clear and direct questions and they will not make it easy. You are seated at a desk facing a camera at the other end of the desk while the police are on either side of the desk. If you are lucky you will be able to convince them that the complaint is baseless. Their goodbye words will be comforting. "We have decided not to act on this complaint at this time."

Yet that said this PVO is the concern.
If you defend and these are raised you should remember that you are defending the complaint and so you are not prepared to look at unmentioned items.
Where as if your defence is saying it is him and not you who is the aggressor then its reasonable to introduce the behaviour of him.
You are not required to have legal representation but if you go to court unrepresented you are making life hard for your self as the court wont allow you any flexibility to argue points of law such as you are not relation. Where as legal representation could use this?
A problem generated by a AVO/PVO.
If the defendant is not an aggressive person before the AVO, then during it he will be.
For you. What ever you do. Don't be tempted into doing it to him. You have already said he has show aggression to you and your family.
Defend yourself and then get him out of your life.
Bye Warren
