I hit a brick wall when trying to strike up a conversation, and I was called to the police! A few days ago, at the Zhongshan MRT station, a striking-looking woman was approached by a strange man. Although she refused many times, the man still refused to give up, and a quarrel broke out between the two parties. The woman complained that the other party also choked her, "Do you think I dare not do anything to you?" After the police arrived at the scene, they requested a penalty in accordance with the "Social Welfare Law".

Explanation of relevant provisions of the Follow-up Law and the Social Order Maintenance Law

The term "cooling" usually refers to inappropriate sexual or verbal harassment of a person or group through words or actions.

Coyote crime is generally defined as a crime involving inappropriate words or behavior towards the victim in a sexual or sexually suggestive manner. The specific elements may vary between jurisdictions, but here are some factors that may be included in the elements of a stalking crime:
Intention: The criminal act must be intentional and not accidental.
Harassment: The conduct must cause harassment, distress or annoyance to the victim. This behavior is usually carried out in a repetitive manner.
Inappropriate words or behaviors: Follow-up behavior can be verbal, such as sexist remarks, sexually harassing language, inappropriate jokes, etc.; it can also be physical, such as touching, touching the waist, touching the buttocks, etc.
Power relationship: Follow-up behavior usually occurs when the power relationship is unequal, such as employer versus employee, teacher versus student, superior versus subordinate, etc.
Reaction: The victim's reaction to the trolling may be considered as part of the elements. For example, if the victim expresses dissatisfaction or rejection of the stalking behavior but the stalker continues the behavior, this may be considered a stalking crime.
It is worth noting that the requirements listed above are for reference only, and the specific components of the crime of stalking may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific case.

Lawyer Li Yusheng from Fidelity Law Firm stated that the "Stalking Crime" is clearly defined in the Stalking Law, which must meet four elements: 1. Against a specific person; 2. Repeated or continuous; 3. Commitment against the person's will and related to sexual nature. Or one of the following gender-related behaviors, 4. To cause fear in the person, enough to affect his daily life or social activities, will constitute the crime of coquettishness. If it is just the first time you strike up a conversation, even if it causes others great displeasure or discomfort, it may not reach the level of committing a crime.
