Arizona has some interesting ways of invoking Restraining Orders which actually they Don't have a such thing as a "restraining order" they have No Contact Orders, Peace Orders and Protection Orders. Arizona doe's however put "restraining order" type verbage on court documents whenever there is Domestic Violence. Also, in Arizona the State itself can assume DV is at play without a petitioner. ie: BC isn't required to say he did anything all they need is an open case and AssUme a threat. A LEO can simply VERBALLY issue a lawful order to a person to maintain separation until a Judge or Magistrate can have a clerk issue a written order.
