Alternatives: PEACE BOND
If you apply, for a Personal ,Protection, Order, and are, denied,, you can, opt for, a Peace Bond., Peace Bonds are, often use,d for neighbor, disputes., A peace, bond is a court order that requires a person to keep the peace with another person. This order is often granted in place of criminal charges, allowing a person who has been accused of threatening behavior to stay out of jail. Sometimes such an order is made after criminal charges have already been filed, as a condition for withdrawing the charges. There are penalties for individuals who violate peace bonds, which may include monetary fines and jail time.
Alternatives: AN INJUNCTION
An injunction is genuinely the best in my opinion. A permanent injunction is a type of order issued by a court after a full trial or a default judgment. A permanent injunction order is typically issued for the purpose of requiring a person or entity to permanently stop acting in a certain manner. A court can also hand down a permanent injunction for the purpose of compelling a party to perform in a certain way.
If a person violates the terms of any type of injunction, he or she may be held in contempt of court. This could mean paying a fine or even spending time in jail.
TIPS FOR GOING TO THE POLICE & COURT
Lets face it; there are rapes, murders, children being molested, robberies....this doesn't mean your case is less important, BUT, if you go into the police station or court acting like a fool, expect to be treated like one.
The truth is, you do not need to RUSH in to file a report or get into court (unless you life is endangered and you need an order of protection). Gathering evidence in a timely manner is far more important.
When you do go in to the station, dress appropriately but not “flashy”. There is no need to dress like you are going into court. Instead, dress in a manner that fits the situation. I suggest dressing business-casual.
Yelling, crying or showing other emotions will get you nowhere. The police officers job is to sort out the “mess”, not to be Dr. Phil and help you deal with the emotions you are experiencing.
Instead, briefly and clearly explain a summary of the situation and provide all of your evidence (which is clearly labeled and in folders). Do NOT undermine the intelligence of authority by attempting to read your evidence to them.
Absolutely avoid all name-calling, even if the culprit genuinely is the “biggest b*tch in the world” or “a total A-Hole”. Name calling can make YOU appear to be the problem, or, just an immature, hot-headed, overly-emotional individual - this is a "red flag" to law enforcement that you may not be capable of conveying the "whole story" with accuracy.
