Restraining Order Abuse

if your not david letterman, i imagine once youve been on the recieving end of a malicious restraining order, whether its proven to be false after the fact or not, you can never recover your rights.
dating is now a f***ing potential liability to your constitutional rights [evil]
 
That is very sadly true. My best friend's wife used a similar tactic in a custody battle, and it was metaphorically like she took a shotgun and blew up both her husband and daughter. Basically she filed criminal sex abuse charges. It was the most horrendous thing I have ever seen.

Even though she and her whole side of the family were a bunch of complete misfits and mentally screwed up, the courts took her charges and almost sent my friend to jail.

Now, to be fair, I think a large proportion of the people who are accused in these cases really are scum bags, but that makes it even more lethal when these charges are falsely brought. The accused is basically guilty until proven innocent. It is an unbvelievable nightmare.
 
I'm really suprised that the second the woman made her claim that she wasn't admitted to an institution.

What sucks is every day dealing with cases where I see people hurt or killed because they had a legitimate claim to want a restraining order but were denied.

Grifter,

I understand your point, but anyone who expects a piece of paper to stop a bullet or a knife is swimming in the shallow area of the gene pool!

Anyone willing to do serious bodily harm/kill another person isn't going to be intimidated by a restraining order! It's much like gun control, criminals don't obey laws and they don't give a damn about how many laws they do break.
 
Yah, but sadly too many people think like that and beleive that police are there to protect you from crime happening to you when in essence they are there to prevent it from happening again. (not saying LEO's don't do there jobs, just stating things the way I view them).
 
Oh I understand already what your saying but this is what I mean.

A woman has a boyfriend. Kicks him out of the house. He calls and stops by and is threatening. Woman goes and attempts to get restraining order. Is denied.

Man shows up again. Police show up. The man does not have a restraining order against him and as long as he leaves the property the police really can't do much.

OK, let's spin it the other way.

She does get the RO (in MA it is almost unheard of to go the way you portrayed it). Police arrest him.

He makes bail, gets even more pissed at getting arrested, goes back and murders her!

More hand-wringing in the liberal press, calls for more police protection of those with ROs, calls for stronger gun control!

Net result = woman is still dead!! And more cries blaming one law or gov't agency or another . . . but net result is she's still dead! [!]
 
Most of you know my background ("X" tried to snuff me out). I didn't get a RO. Why? Simple - it would have driven him off the deep end and he would have broken in and finished what he had tried to start in the first place. In his case, the RO would have been well deserved, however, I also knew that the police couldn't protect me from him 24 - 7, and a piece of paper would not stop him from breaking down the door.

It was shortly after that I got my .22 rifle and started sleeping with it. Yeah - I was scared and lived thru that hell for over a year before the divorce was final and everything settled. 'Twernt fun.

I also know a couple guys that had a false RO placed on them, only because the b*tch they were married to wanted to ruin them. It's a very hard thing for a guy to prove he's innocent when the woman is in the court room in tears saying she's afraid.
