People can turn to the courts to seek protection from someone who is harassing or threatening them.
Once the person is served a temporary protection order, it is illegal for them to make contact with, or be near, the protected party.
There is then a hearing to consider evidence and testimony to determine whether the protection order should be kept in place or not. If it is determined there is cause that warrants continued protection, the judge issues a permanent protection order.
If the person violates the protection order, they can then be tried for any crime they commit, such as assault or murder, plus contempt of court.
And now a word from a sponsor.
