I did my best with the title, going off of what the article was titled which I was posting about.
When you say a domestic violence charge, do you mean an actual charge in court for domestic violence or just a restraining order? Because apparently, if I understood the article correctly, California is doing it off of just a restraining order.
No worries on the title, Ambrosia. I was just going for accuracy based on the story. (Which could certainly have used some more specifics. )
Speaking only from past official experience here in SIllinois -- There are different specifics available to be included in/with a restraining order, stemming from why it was issued, and other facts of the events leading up to it. Some restraining orders can be down to "you will not be in this place at these times of day." Some are "you will not be within 500 feet of this person, period." Restraining orders can include orders for officers to confiscate any known (or discovered) weapons -- if the reason for the restraining order involved brandishing of weapons, for example.
