Police officers are generally required to have reasonable grounds to believe that a person has committed a crime before making an arrest. A "gut feeling" alone may not be sufficient unless it is based on observable facts, behaviors, or other reasonable evidence. Police officers are trained to follow proper procedures and adhere to legal standards when making arrests.

Unless the order was issued as a result of a criminal offense, there is no criminality associated with it and it will not appear in any criminal history record. However - inasmuch as it was issued as a court order, ALL court records are considered 'public' records and if someone wanted to go to the trouble of researching it they could locate it. The record of the court order will exist forever. If it WAS issued as a result of a criminal offense, the underlying offense WILL appear on your criminal history record and become a permanent part of it.
