The civil stalking injunction is an official court order. No one except the court can change it. If the Respondent disobeys the order, the court may the Respondent to be in contempt. Additionally, the Respondent may also be arrested and prosecuted for the crime of stalking and any other crime committed in disobeying this order.

The civil injunction issued in Salt Lake City or the State of Utah is valid in all 50 U.S. States and the territories of the United States, the District of Columbia, and tribal lands. If the Respondent leaves the State of Utah in order to violate the civil stalking injunction then a federal judge can sentence the Respondent to prison.

Under state and federal law, the Respondent can not possess any guns or firearms. It is a federal crime for the Respondent to possess, have, ship, transport, or receive any ammunition or firearm, including hunting weapons, while this civil stalking injunction is in effect. (See the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2265, 2262, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8)).

The Respondent must obey all orders initialed by the judicial officer. Violation of the civil stalking injunction is a criminal Class A Misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine. A second or subsequent violation can result in more severe penalties.
