If you are convicted of domestic violence in Orange County, or anywhere in California for that matter, a judge has the power to issue a “protective order”, which is essentially a restraining order, directing what contact you may or may not have with the victim in the case. Existing law allows the judge to issue the domestic violence protective order for up to ten years. As of January 1, 2013, Assembly Bill No. 2467, also known as “Kathy’s law”, gives thedomestic violence court further authority to require that you be subject to “electronic monitoring” for up to one year.
This means that if you have been convicted of domestic
violence, including domestic battery, inflicting a corporal injury,
child
endangerment or criminal threats, then the judge can require you to wear a GPS
tracking device around your ankle for up to one year as a condition of probation.
This GPS tracking device will record your movements and the tracking
information can be used to convict you of violating the protective order
against you. The court must make a determination of your ability to pay for the
GPS monitoring and if the court decides that you are able to pay, then you will
bear the expense of the monitoring.
