so if your da representative is not there ethyl can tell you. okay. so, i would talk to the da because they were instrumental. one other thing about the stay away orders, when they are cest up they can be as specific or general as needs be. if somebody lives very close to where the stay away order is and the stay away order is where he or she was doing business, there can be exceptions and conditions in this that say that this person can go to and from their house. from the bus stop to their house they can't be on the corner of 16th and mission and loitering for the purpose of selling drugs or committing what their crime was but can walk through it to go home. they can take a bus from there if they can't find a place to take a bus. it can be spelled out that specifically so as not to restrict somebody from going to and from their home. >> any other questions? that's it? >> yes. >> absolutely. because octavia boulevard. they come through our neighborhood like it's the freeway. coming to get on the freeway. they barely stop at the stop signs the turn on

i will turn it to ethyl and she will talk about the d's and the stay orders. >> thank you, valley. as the officers mentioned it's not always like it is on tv. when you see somebody doing something on the street they will not be in jail for the rest of their life. a couple of things have to happen. one thing that has to happen is they have to be arrested. in order for the district attorney to prosecute anyone they have to be arrested. just because you know and i know and they know that something's been done doesn't mean they are going to jail or prison. the only way the officers can arrest somebody if they have probable cause. sometimes the probable cause is you calling the mreet and saying there is a guy doing this and he looks like this and blah blah blah. if there is enough reason, probable cause the officers can arrest them. then we get to, what's enough for the district attorney to prosecute? what's enough for the da to prosecute is evidence. the burden of proof in court is a higher standard than the observation and the complaint that the police made. so, in the perfect world,
