How do Orders of Protection work in domestic violence cases?
Courts almost always issue a temporary Order of Protection (restraining order) at the arraignment. A 'full stay-away' order means you cannot contact the protected party at all, even if you live together. Violating this is a separate crime.
DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) usually requires a BAC of .08% or higher and is a misdemeanor. DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) is a traffic infraction (not a crime) for BAC between .05% and .07%, though penalties still include fines and license suspension.
