Since restraining orders are easy to get and require little or no evidence, as David Letterman learned, it fully depends on the circumstances. In the Letterman case, a NM woman said he was sexually harassing her through the TV. It cost him $15,000 in legal fees to get it set aside. In New York a man proved the point by placing a restraining order on himself by merely dressing as a woman. He used his own name and info on both lines.
