The state Supreme Court’s Committee on Criminal Practice is recommending rule changes that would make it easier for judges to grant restraining orders in drug and sex crimes when the applications are made over the telephone or by some other electronic means.
The committee, in a report dated March 23, said R. 3:3-1 should be amended so that law enforcement officials can make applications under the Drug Offender Restraining Order Act of 1999 or Nicole’s Law over the telephone, radio or through some other electronic means if they are not in the same physical location as the judge.
