How Do I Get And Order To Prohibit Retail Crime {RT-100-INFO}

RT-100-INFO - HOW DO I GET AN ORDER TO PROHIBIT RETAIL CRIME? This form provides guidance for retail businesses and their legal representatives on how to request a civil retail crime restraining order in California. A retail crime restraining order is a court-issued order that prohibits an individual from entering or being on the property of a specific retail business, typically after that person has been arrested at least twice for crimes such as shoplifting, theft, vandalism, or assault at the same business. Only a lawyer—on behalf of a retail business or through a public office such as a city attorney or county counsel—can file this petition. The form outlines eligibility requirements, how the order can help, limitations of what the court can order in these cases, and the process for preparing and submitting necessary forms, including the requirement for personal service of the respondent. It also explains court procedures, what happens if the order is violated, and available accommodations for disabilities or language barriers. Once issued, only the court can modify or cancel the order, even if the parties agree. Judicial Council of California Optional Form. Penal Code, § 490.8(e). www.FormsWorkflow.com
