In an ex parte or final non-domestic stalking personal protection order (PPO), the judge can order the respondent not to:
- follow you or appear within your sight;
- appear at your home or workplace;
- approach or confront you in a public place or on private property;
- enter onto or remain on property that is owned, leased, or occupied by you;
- send you mail or other communications, such as email;
- contact you by telephone;
- place an object on, or deliver an object to, property owned, leased, or occupied by you;
- threaten to kill or physically injure you;
- attend school in the same building as you – but this only applies if you are a minor who has been the victim of sexual assault and you and the abuser are both enrolled in a public or private school from kindergarten to 12th grade;
- purchase or possess a firearm; and
- post any messages through the Internet, a computer, or any electronic medium that violates the law against posting messages through an electronic medium without consent.1
