Any civil action the consequences of which impose a penalty indistinguishable from that of a criminal conviction MUST include full 4th, 5th, 6th and 14th Amendment protections.
This is particularly true of ex parte judicial acts. Regarding the suspension of liberty or property, the respondent MUST be permitted an adversarial hearing, i.e. an opportunity to face accusers, cross-examine witnesses and present witnesses and evidence in their own behalf. This must happen before any rights are suspended or related property is seized.
ERPO allegations can establish reasonable suspicion, but not probable cause. That doesn't meet the burden necessary for a seizure warrant.
These things are so obvious that they should need no debate. |

My experience in small claims court is that the judge will always rule in favor of the side represented by a lawyer, no matter how compelling your case. I have represented myself against other drivers and in one case my township government where the dollar amount was not worth paying an attorney. The other side came in with an attorney (paid for by the insurance company or taxpayers) and I lost every time. Even when the other party clearly was in violation of the motor vehicle code and caused the accident.
It is an old boy's network and you don't stand a chance. |

"Of the 13 cases where the defendants had a lawyer, judges approved 12 risk protection orders, or about 92%.
"By comparison, of the 53 cases where the defendants didn’t have a lawyer, judges approved 47, or roughly 89%."
This system is rigged against law abiding citizens. You don't have a chance.

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
