No more so than stalking someone and causing them distress. And besides, Faye is a barista, I'm sure threatening someone with deadly force and with a deadly weapon is part of the job description.

Sure, sure...but in fiction we all know "WHY DOES NOBODY EVER GO TO THE POLICE?"
TheEvilDog:
Because in fiction, the cops are useless, and are most likely amongst the first to die when brought into a situation (somewhere between the "first girl" and the bad comic relief").
Carl-E:
More like redshirts. In a police drama, where there are major characters, it's the little beat cops or the unnamed guys on patrol that wind up getting sacrificed. In a non-police drama, they're just effing useless, something for the protagonists to easily outwit.
Besides, they're busy sitting at speed traps, writing parking tickets, and responding to "domestic disturbances". They'll never notice protagonists breaking the law...
Edit: added some links for ya. Happy easter!
Method of Madness:
I'm not defending Clinton, but is going to see someone at a public place actually illegal? I think you guys are overdoing it with the whole "HOLY SHIT STALKING IS A FELONY AND THAT IS WHAT CLINTON IS DOING". The most they could really get him for is trespassing, if they ask him to leave and he doesn't, but only if they hadn't tied him up and prevented him from leaving.
(I'm not saying we should be all "HOLY SHIT KIDNAPPING IS A FELONY" either. In fact, we should be uniting in solidarity, and hoping that Jeph recovers from his Butts)
