They also buttress the facts when self-defense becomes necessary in such a case.
Doesn’t matter..they are an abuse of the court system often and mean zero to a very angry person. There was just a case locally where the man went and murdered his ex in spite of a restraining order. All they tend to do is inflame anger even more. Stupid. A noble person has no need for a restraining order at all. And the restraining order also often takes away the person’s 2nd amendment rights right away , even before any hearing before a judge. Very very unconstitutional, especially when people can and do often lie about others.
