the victim has to walk sometimes out into the parking lot and there are conflicts even in the parking lot. it's a whole process to go through. you have to file, go down, sometime even serve the defendant themselves. so it's just-- >> seems very counterproductive when you're trying to stay away from the defendant. >> exactly. also, the situation when people were being released from jail, you needed to go through this -- couldn't go through it ahead of time? >> that's right. the whole process had to be started over again. it was really retraumatizing the victims with this whole idea of having to explain once again, see the person who would be -- it was really traumatic. certainly. and what is the new law going to change? >> the new law is going to allow so that judges can say, okay, we're going to grant this to you, and it's effective immediately, in place. when you walk out here, you don't have to file additional paperwork. you just have it, you know, in your possession. the wonderful thing is that there's statistical studies that

show even though this is just a piece of paper, there has been no deaths related to this. >> that is very interesting. getting a restraining order, how does that help if someone's psycho and they want to get you, are they really going to be stopped by a piece of paper? >> you would think that. sometimes people hesitate. but i would urge people to do this, because even though it is just a piece of paper, it is so impactful and the studies show that. >> what is it about the piece of paper? >> i don't know. there is something about it, because it doesn't stop everything. sometimes victims will still get a phone call or messages or the family will get involved, that kind of thing. but there is some line apparently that will not be crossed if they don't have -- if they have the piece of paper. so it's worth it. tell us about the kinds of restraining orders people can get. >> there are two different kinds. one is a protective order, where there is no contact allowed at all. and the other one is if there's children involved, they can actually have an exchange.
