Annapolis Capital Punishment

Protective Orders are supposed to protect citizens from harm. But lately there has been a spate of useless orders. Just yesterday, a man rammed his pick up truck into his ex-girlfriend nearly killing her and critically injuring a little boy she was babysitting.

The Protective Order had been issued that morning.

I am not sure what can be done, because they are only as effective as the person is honest. What is the answer?

I realize that all cases are different, but if someone has done something that necessitates a Protective Order, there is a good chance the person has done something illegal--threatened someone, trespassed, robbed, etc. Perhaps the answer is to require the person seeking the order to file charges and have the person attend a hearing to see if detention is in order.

I have no idea how many are issued each day, but perhaps a phone call or a cruise by fro the police might be in order--just to see how things are going. 

What is the answer? Do you have any experience with Protective Orders? Why not comment below?

And to the judge that gets this case, there can be no extenuating circumstances here! We hope the little boy recovers!
