Protective orders give police the opportunity to address the fucked-up bullshit your ex does, should he decide to threaten you. They're basically a notice saying "heads up, cops, this guy is crazy and I think he might do me harm" which allows them to go "huh. Says here that she thinks you might do her harm and lookitthat! here you are, making every motion as if she's right! Into the car we go, chap!" You're white, college-educated, young and female. Your friendly neighborhood constabulary will likely hop-to should anything go wrong. That's the point of a protective order. results will vary for minorities and the economically-disadvantaged
