In Arizona, an Injunction Against Harassment can be sought even when there is no relationship between the parties. The focus is on stopping the harassment, not on whether the two people know each other. To obtain the injunction, you must show a course of conduct directed at you that would cause a reasonable person to fear for safety or to suffer substantial emotional distress. This can include repeated phone calls, following, surveillance, threats, or other acts over time. The essential point is that the relationship between the parties is not a prerequisite for this relief—the harassment itself is what the court looks at. For context, there are separate protections like domestic-violence injunctions that do apply within specific relational contexts (such as family or dating relationships), but for harassment, the lack of a required relationship is intentional and key.
