My friends wanted me to have such a thing for protection.

You may have to pay for protection to drive through these areas in your own car.

Probably he went around with me for physical protection, since the others wouldn't let him alone.

But what about all the others, the people who looked to him for protection?

But I can't leave her without my name for protection.

He decided to hand her over to the police for protection.

Except any he might want to have around for protection.

I paid some pretty big people a lot of money for protection.

I knew they looked to me for Justice and protection.

And they feel the need for protection is greater than the risk.
