How To Prevent Violation Of A Protective Order

Do you know that violation of a restraining order is a serious offense that is punishable by imprisonment and a fine? A restraining order may be issued in the California criminal justice system by the court for a number of reasons.

How To Prevent Violation Of A Protective Order


A protection order, also referred to as a restraining order, is a court order that guards against someone else intimidating, stalking, assaulting, or harassing another person. A protection order may be imposed against a person if the claimed victim can demonstrate that the offender has placed them in a circumstance where they have a reasonable fear of being damaged by their words or actions.

 What are the penalties for violating Section 273.6 of the Penal Code?

 This law's first offense is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail, a fine of up to $1,000 (or both), additional fines of up to $5,000 to be paid to a shelter, and compensation for expenses like counselling for the petitioner. Felony charges may be brought after additional violations. Try to keep yourself safe from these instances. 

 Anyone who is subject to a restraining order loses their right to legally own or acquire a firearm. In the event that it is established that the defendant had a firearm in their possession, they may face further criminal charges and penalties.

All in all,

A criminal defense lawyer should be contacted right away if you have been accused of breaching a protection order or have received notice of a protective order hearing. Only good and experienced lawyers in this field can best guide you in avoiding falling into deep mud. If the defendant had not wilfully broken the protective order, they would not also be accused of this offense.
