Reported to the police for a crime. Stalking and threatening someone is a crime. All the police need to do is actually follow up and charge people who commit crimes and get reported to them, which is not exactly stripping people of their rights.

Outsider Question: Does the UK operate on presumed guilt or presumed innocence?

If the latter, what options do the police have? In the US, although state-by-state, we have options ranging from "The accused automatically is arrested / sent before a judge" to "temporary restraining order, and at least one party must vacate the premises" to "nothing."
