Ok, you're recommending $VICTIM ignores or resists the advice of law enforcement authorities, right?
Law enforcement and victims have different objectives. Law enforcement wants to find the criminal, gather sufficient evidence to prove their guilt, then prosecute them. More attacks helps law enforcement. The victims, in general, want the attacks to stop.
I just don't know and would suggest reliance on case studies and experienced professionals.
Agreed. But make sure the experienced professionals you talk with have interests that are aligned with yours. (Not arguing pay or don't pay here. I don't know, either. My instincts say "don't pay" but I have no data.) -- Brett
