how many years can you get for stalking?

That depends on the laws of whatever state you are in. To find out do a criminal law search for your state and then search for the stalking ordinance. For example in Illinois it can range anywhere from a class iv felony (1 - 3) years all the way up to a class ii felony (10 years +).

All the way back...this is usually called the three strikes rule so if you are convicted of a third felony you are considered a career criminal. Some states may limit the length to ten years...but I wouldn't bank on it when applying it to the decision of three strikes or not! In New York...three strikes (violent felonies as defined by staute) equals a mandatory sentence of 25 to Life!

Depends on your state.  Most states you could easily go to jail for a year at least.

Really depends on what state you live in and what court you went to.\n\nIf you had the restraining order taken out at the Magistrate, simply go back before the court and explain why you want it removed.\n\nSince you are the one that took it out, they will probably honor your request to remove it.\n\nSome states have a limit on the length of an restraining order...like 90 days or six months.... check that out also.

Depends on the crime. There is no statute of limitations on Murder. Most crimes 7 years though. However, it really does depends on the crime.

Background check goes to the state police, who will have every felony from 18 years old on up - better to 'fess up now with an explanation - there is no "statute of limitations",  However, sometimes you can get a plea bargain and have it struck from your records, a local politician had his "drug dealing" struck off of his record.

12 years for criminal prosecution.\nIn 2002, the state raised to to 12 year from 5 years in response to the Catholic priest sexual abuse scandal.

In North Carolina the staute of limitation is 7 years. Call the IL sheriff's dept or a majestrate and just ask them.

there's no definite answer to this.  it's all up to ICE (immigration and custom's enforcement) and DHS (department of homeland security).  they have an overload of cases to deal with and process.  so it can be tomorrow or 20 years from now.  but i can ensure u that there will be a time when they getcha.  believe me, im going through it now (...in my case, they got me on my max out date).  whatever you do, try to redeem yourself and do no wrong.  build a good moral character, work, etc etc.  most importantly, try to get your record expunged or vacated before ICE/DHS getcha.  real talk.

I don't thing the stalker understands that it "ruins" the life of the person they are stalking. I am not saying that it is right. It is actually pretty freaky. I once had an ex that followed me around, and he still has a high school picture of me in his wallet. It is inconvenient for the person being stalked and it makes it hard to want to go anywhere alone. I just think the stalker's infatuation overcomes any common sense that they might normally understand.

The answer is yes, they can. Here's a quick rundown.\n\nThey usually last around ten years or so. They can be extended, if needed. To keep them active, law enforcement has to show a due diligence in attempting to apprehend or contact the suspect. \n\nThe statute of limitations has no bearing on a warrant. The statute of limitations is in regards to filing charges against a suspect. Once a warrant is issued, the charges have been filed with the DA.

Since Stalking can lead to worse things other than what's at hand, I honestly think that you should alert the Police and all of your immediate family members and always let someone know where you are and who you are with just in case the stalker gets crazier than he/she already is.
