Considering what kind of people Eric's enemies tend to be, having the police on speed dial is very much not an overreaction. Imagine having to go to work and be forced to deal with a stalker. No one wants that on a good day. Dismissing stalkers as harmless is like playing with a tiger. Does Eric not have kids? IIRC, he does. "Dad, that creepy man takes pictures of me!"
I mean, Juju and co are on film threatening and doing deranged shit. And they are willing to escalate. Better nip it in the bad. Since when has criminality been allowed just because it involves internet idiots?
