Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Order of Protection Violations
Can the Petitioner be arrested or charged with a crime if the Petitioner contacts the Defendant by telephone? What if the Defendant arrives at the home of a mutual friend while the Petitioner is present, and the Petitioner does not leave, and they have conversation without confrontation?

Re: Order of Protection Violations

Hello. If the petitioner contacts the respondent

with an order of protection in place, a police

officer in 99% of the cases will not arrest the

petitioner even if he knows that the petitioner

initiated the contact. If the petitioner and

the respondent happen to meet and spend time

together without incident, fine, but the respondent always is at risk in these situations

for obvious reasons. I hope my answer helps.

Good Luck!
