It is unlikely that the police will be able to provide assistance if a violation occurs. The alleged abuser is also prohibited from trying to contact the victim. If the victim calls the police to report a violation of this law, the police are required to arrest the alleged abuser. However, this still does not provide as much protection as a restraining order because it only protects the victim for 72 hours. Conviction of a crime may result in a jail or prison sentence, a fine, an order to pay money to the victim, or a term of probation.

The same is true of the defendant or respondent. The state must convince the judge or jury that the defendant committed a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Task Force of Milwaukee. All rights reserved.
