Safer alternatives
Record what you lawfully observe, preserve materials you own, and choose the right support route. Ask a lawyer before taking an action when legality is unclear.
If you feel unsafe
Move to a safe place, contact someone you trust, and call 110 in an emergency. A PI consultation is not emergency response.
