Do California protective orders protect against cyberbullying?

Answered by attorney Joseph A Katz (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Joseph A. Katz Attorney at Law PLC
I believe that he is violating the Order, though I have not reviewed its terms and would need to do so. Usually, any attempts to contact or otherwise send communications to the protected person, even by a third party, and via electronic media, are covered.. You can file an Order to Show Cause, re:Contempt.

Will my husband be taken into custody?

Answered by attorney Marc Pelta
Criminal Law lawyer at Pelta Law
To answer your direct quettion: Whether your husband will be taken into custody is speculative.  However, he should hire defense counsel in order to try and avoid his being arrested at a time that is inconvenient for him.  An experienced criminal defense lawyer can guide him on his options to address his concerns in this matter.    Cases of exchanges becoming criminal cases are on the rise.  Therefore, your concern is a justified one.  No, you do not want to go to the Sheriff without hiring a good criminal defense lawyer first.  If he will be taken into custody then it could be after he meets with the detective or before.  Whether he will be cited and released is speculation.  A good lawyer can clarify this for you.

Is a kidnapping charge reducible in California?

Answered by attorney Joseph A Katz (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Joseph A. Katz Attorney at Law PLC
No, California Penal Code section 207 is not a wobbler. You can, however, move to have the case dismissed after probation ends (or prior to that time),pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.4. At that time, you would not have to reveal (e.g., on job applications, etc.) that you had ever been convicted, unless you were applying for a State license, running for public office, contracting with the State lottery, applying for certain government clearances or jobs, or by consensual release. Potential civilian employers are not to question you regarding the conviction after relief pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.4.
