What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC, but question deals with CA.
I recently received a phone call from a Deputy from CA, which I verified, telling me that my ex-fiancee had filed a complaint that I was harassing her with annoying phone calls, when in reality, phone records can prove that I haven't made any calls to her in over three months, and that the Deputy was giving me a "lawful order" to have no contact of any kind with this woman, and failure to comply with this lawful order constituted a felony. The Deputy informed me that my ex-fiancee had heard that I was coming to CA. She didn't hear it from me.
I am in NC, 2800 miles away, have made no threats or engaged in any behavior that could be construed as threatening, have made no contact with my ex-fiancee outside of a couple of very docile emails in months, and have no intention of contacting the woman any further.
My question is this...
Does this CA Deputy have the right to give this "lawful order" under these circumstances, and will this crapola go on some kind of permanent record?
