Restraining orders are important tools designed to help people intelligently and legally deal with civil harassment, domestic violence and workplace violence. Lawfully issued orders can restrict a person’s civil rights relating to speech, movement, employment, residence, gun ownership and association with their own family members and others.
While in many cases restraining orders are necessary to minimize the threat of violence or harassment, some people unfairly try to use the considerable power of the restraining order as a sword, not as a shield like the law intends.
