They are given lightly. For example, a woman in Santa Fe got a restraining order after a "breakup" with David Letterman. He was ordered to stop communicating with her via code words on his show. Kelsey Grammar was also involved somehow.

(It was later overturned on the grounds that the Santa Fe court didn't have jurisdiction over mind control transmitted from NY.)

These kind of things enhance faith in the judicial system... Seriously? Through code words ????
