I “Googled” Criminal Order of Protection and found that there is a difference:
A Criminal Order of Protection arises out of a criminal case. The party asking for the entry of an Order of Protection is usually the prosecutor in a criminal Domestic Battery case. And it does not result in confiscated property; it forbids the defendant from being anywhere near the victim and from having any contact with the victim.
On the other hand, “Red Flag” judgements:
1. Result in confiscation of private property without due process;
2. Destroy the concept of “innocent until proven guilty;” and
3. Intentionally strip people of their constitutional rights.
“Red Flag” laws must not be allowed to stand!
ANY vote for a so-called “Red Flag” law is a vote against the American people and a vote against the US Constitution!

In NY your neighbor can claim practically anything he wants on you, file one and your guns are gone. Its up to you to prove you are innocent and that was before the new Red Flag law. The neighbor doesn’t even have to go to court with you. When the claim is proven unfounded to a judge’s satisfaction, he (the neighbor) also won’t be held liable for anything because his complaint was subjective. (I was afraid, he threatened me, I didn’t like the looks of him when he was putting the guns in his car, it looked like a machine gun, etc.)
