Civil restraints are legal measures that limit an individual's freedom to engage in certain activities or contact specific people. These restrictions are often imposed by a court to protect individuals or the community, particularly in cases involving harassment, domestic violence, or other harmful behaviors. Typically, civil restraints can include orders of protection, which prohibit the restrained person from approaching or communicating with the victim. They may also involve restrictions on property access or specific locations. Violating these restraints can lead to legal consequences, including fines or imprisonment.
