The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Code Developed By Sensei Liam Musiak – For Individuals Experiencing or Suspecting Stalking

S = Stay Aware

Trust your instincts if you feel watched or followed.

Notice repeated behaviours: same person, car, or presence at different places and times.

T = Tell Someone

Do not keep it to yourself. Confide in friends, family, or colleagues immediately.

Share details so others can confirm patterns and support you.

A = Avoid Direct Confrontation

Do not challenge or provoke the stalker. Confrontation can escalate the danger.

Focus on safety and smart decisions, not “teaching them a lesson.”

L = Log Everything

Keep a detailed record of every incident: dates, times, locations, behaviours.

Save texts, messages, emails, voicemails, and take photos/screenshots if possible.

K = Keep Evidence Safe

Back up recordings and notes in multiple places.

Preserve original messages — do not delete them, as they may be vital in court.

E = Engage the Authorities

Report the behaviour to police as soon as possible, even if it feels small.

Use your log and evidence to show the pattern clearly.

Remember: stalking is a crime in the UK under the Protection from Harassment Act.

R = Reduce Risk

Change routines, vary routes, and secure your home and online presence.

Use alarms, locks, and privacy settings.

If in immediate danger, call 999 without hesitation.

⚡ Why this works

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is unforgettable — it’s the exact word describing the threat.

Covers the full cycle: recognising → recording → reporting → protecting.

Practical for both everyday people and martial arts/self-defence students.

Empowers without blaming — shifts the responsibility onto law, evidence, and community support.
