So a person in which you have strong disagreement with could maliciously file a restraining order against you, because they “feared” they were in danger from you.
Is that how a temporary restraining order can be filed, ie, based on how “threatened” you “feel” by someone?
No evidence required, ie: witness to the threat, police report, etc?
I could see this being used maliciously against boyfriends, husbands, and political gadflys / watchdogs.
I had a CT restraining order on me from a golf course and restaurant.
When I was a kid, they pissed me off so I did donuts on the course.
It counts.
