^ even if you lose money in the process if someone has to go through smalls claims more than once they'll probaly stop hurting stuff

Then again the defendant will now know YOU personally and other such details like where you live and work... If he's already got numerous criminal complaints against him what's preventing him from taking revenge on you? Cops are utterly useless in such matters, they can only 'protect' you AFTER the damage has been done... and usually not even then.
