Chapter 471: This is What You Call a Protection Order, Damn It!

"The first case following the Judicial Interpretation regarding Personal Safety Protection Orders"—many media outlets used similar headlines.

As everyone knows, no matter the field, the meaning of "first" is always very special.

The reason Fang Dazhuang wanted Zhou Yi to pay attention to whether there were cases like this was because he wanted to handle the first one!

This is not just because of the fame.

Our country is indeed a country of Written Law, but the influence of the Supreme People's Court's Case Analysis and guiding cases is absolutely not as simple as you see.

This is equivalent to giving the lower Courts a reference for how they can rule when facing similar situations.

And in this case, the focus of ordinary people is on whether that domestic abuser went to jail, but the focus of Legal Persons is the ruling of the Personal Safety Protection Order!

What the relevant evidence is, how the Court reviewed it, and then what kind of protection order ruling was made—this is the key point that legal professionals are concerned about.

The first protection order after the Judicial Interpretation was published, and it was listed by the Supreme People's Court as a Case Analysis, which means that in the future, when encountering similar problems, one can refer to this case to collect evidence and apply for a protection order!

In Guang City, Yuan Jie still clicked in the moment the update was discovered; it was still A Yi's kidney-deficient voice.

"Hello everyone, my dear audience, I am your old friend A Yi. Today, I am bringing you a story about Domestic Violence!"

Holy crap, it really is domestic violence!

Hurrying to read on: an Employee in a Company, then the husband cheated, but the Lawsuit for divorce was unsuccessful.

By this point, the entire video was covered by dense bullet comments; it was truly too dense.

I have to say, many people nowadays have a very different view of marriage and family compared to people in the past.

Marriage is not as sacred as they say; if you can live through it, then live, and if you can't, then divorce.

However, perhaps for the sake of social stability, if one party does not agree, then this divorce is very difficult.

How can it be considered an emotional breakdown? This question is truly a big problem; perhaps no one can explain it clearly.

It's just that everyone in the bullet comments is criticizing it, saying that if cheating doesn't count as an emotional breakdown, then there is really nothing left to say.

But the video is so long, this is not the main point, keep watching.

Being subjected to domestic violence, and not just once; it was getting more serious each time.

Reporting it to the police only led to Mediation; this is reality. If it hasn't reached the stipulated level, even the police comrades have a hard time stepping in to manage it.

It really makes one want to explode with anger watching it.

Yuan Jie started typing on the keyboard with a clatter: "They won't let you divorce, and they won't manage the domestic violence either. Does it only count as an emotional breakdown if you die?"

There are not a few people who think like her, because there are too many such situations now.

Being able to reach the stage of a divorce Litigation proves that one of the parties absolutely, absolutely does not want to continue living like this.

Even if you forcibly fuse them together, can they live a peaceful life?

They are already fighting a lawsuit to divorce, and yet they still have to live together; isn't this exactly how Domestic Violence will occur!

Some replies soon appeared under Yuan Jie's comment, and everyone expressed strong agreement and also great confusion as to what situation counts as an emotional breakdown.

This is not like other legal provisions; it has a high degree of ambiguity.

Looking further down, a bunch of the man's relatives started taking turns to persuade her—damn it!

If this weren't A Yi's video, Yuan Jie would have closed it by now; watching it makes one's blood pressure rise.

What kind of nonsense is this? It even feels like watching a tear-jerker drama!

Damn it, if this A Yi doesn't arrange a very Criminal Case-worthy ending, Yuan Jie feels she won't be able to sleep well tonight.

Other people feel the same way; those who are impatient have already dragged to the end, wanting to see what happened to that domestic abuser.

Domestic Violence does not just refer to that between a husband and wife; it also includes domestic violence by parents against children.

Besides physical violence, there is also soft violence like Mental Control.

In short, the scope of application for Domestic Violence is very broad!

Many people who watch Zhou Yi's videos not only experienced school bullying when they were young, but also experienced domestic violence.

Parents arguing every day, even coming to blows—for children who have witnessed such situations, they really can't forget it for their whole lives.

Perhaps sometimes, as soon as they close their eyes, they will recall those things.

Last time A Yi posted a video on school bullying; I didn't expect this time it would actually be Domestic Violence!

Having these climaxes back-to-back is a bit hard to take...

"Guan Guan Ju Jiu": I really don't want to say too much; all those who commit domestic violence should just die, okay? Regardless of gender, can't you just live a good life?

"Wu Gou Fei Jian": I also feel that way. When I was a child, I felt that as long as my parents argued, I would be very annoyed, especially annoyed. I feel that the reason I didn't get into a good university was because my parents were arguing...

"Yuan Jie": So Domestic Violence is actually not limited to within the family? Does Cohabitation and being divorced count too?

This was a comment Yuan Jie posted when she saw the chat clip between Fang Dazhuang and Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi goes to find Fang Dazhuang for consultation, and then Fang Dazhuang gives advice—this has always been the hottest segment in many videos!

Because the advice Fang Dazhuang gives is always so Criminal Case-worthy!

And you can't even say there is a problem with Fang Dazhuang's advice.

Because some things must be handled using Criminal Case procedures; relying on Civil Litigation or relying on individuals, you can't even pose an effective threat to them.

This is a reality problem!

Just like Zhou Yi's previous Legal Aid, filing a lawsuit or even a Private Prosecution is indeed very good, but the evidence all needs to be collected by oneself.

And sometimes you have no way to collect this evidence.

Even if you have an Investigation Warrant from the Court, it is still the same.

But a Public Prosecution Case is different. Evidence that an individual spends all their effort to get, the Public Security Bureau can easily obtain when they step in; this is the difference.

And sometimes paying a little money is painless and itchy to those people!

Aren't there often many videos on the internet now? Those people wearing famous watches and expensive clothes often say, "My watch alone can buy your life!"

You tell me, facing such a person, even if you win the Civil Litigation, what can you do?

He pays the money and can still continue to do such things, because he has not been educated at all.

However, once you get inside, it's a different story.

Sure enough, Lawyer Fang provided the suggestion for a Personal Safety Protection Order, and Yuan Jie also learned that violence occurring after a divorce or during cohabitation can also fall under the category of Domestic Violence, and one can also apply for a protection order!

She immediately thought of her classmate!

She could be considered a good friend of hers; she once found a boyfriend—well, she was young, and she just liked those roguish, handsome bad boys.

There's really no helping that; even Yuan Jie herself liked such men when she was young...

Of course, men also like to be with "bad" women, it's just that men know very well in their hearts which girls are suitable for marriage and which girls are just for fun.

It's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and since her figure and looks were decent, they naturally got together very quickly.

What followed was the natural progression of cohabitation.

This society currently has polarized views on cohabitation.

One group feels that after cohabitation, it is essentially a second marriage, because the only difference between it and marriage is that marriage certificate.

I reiterate, this applies to both men and women.

And another group feels that when a person is in a city, a boyfriend and girlfriend living together can, first, save on rent, second, be a way to test if they can be together, and third, allow them to support each other... in short, there are many benefits.

Thus, you can see arguments in many places about whether the next partner counts as "taking over" after a cohabitation breakup...

Yuan Jie's classmate naturally broke up, but after the breakup, the other party kept coming to find her, wanting to rekindle their relationship.

After all, her family had a little money, and her looks and figure were decent; in a word, she was being pestered.

Under normal circumstances, there is no way to deal with such matters; one can only move house to avoid the other party, or even leave the city.

When Yuan Jie's classmate talked to her about it, she was also very distressed; she had reported it to the police countless times, but there was nothing the police could do when they arrived.

He didn't directly break in, nor did he do anything else, so they couldn't just arrest him like that.

Perhaps in some places they would arrest him?

But here in Guang City, there is no way; they can only criticize and educate.

Yuan Jie now feels that this is simply perfect for her classmate!

Although the other party didn't lay a hand on her, such behavior also counts as domestic violence, similar to Mental Control!

Continuing to watch, A Yi's Employee went home and was beaten again; the other party violated the protection order, and then a Criminal Private Prosecution was filed.

During this period, it went through mediation after mediation, and the trouble-making and even Small Essay posts made one feel tired just watching.

Legal Aid has never been that simple.

Finally, the video finished; although the domestic abuser was given a Suspended Sentence, he still had a Case Record.

More importantly, although a protection order is valid for no more than six months, one can apply for an extension before it expires...

If the other party offends again, that would be a repeat offense!

After watching, she couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly called to notify her classmate.

Soon, a weary voice came through the phone.

"What? Meng Yuan, you aren't mistaken, right? Is there really such a thing?"

"You saw it online? How does this feel unreliable? Okay, let me watch the video."

On the other end, Yuan Jie's classmate clicked the link and was stunned after watching the video.

At this moment, she truly felt that the law was right by her side!

In the past, there was no way to do anything, as if one could only hide when encountering a scoundrel, but now she discovered there was actually such a method!

It might seem strange to those who understand the law, but this is reality.

Many people truly do not know these things, even though we say this is an era of information explosion and the internet is so developed, some people just don't know.

The work of legal popularization has a long way to go!

Then let's start taking action!

After Yuan Jie finished the call, she started scrolling through the comments again; watching videos, after all, is half the fun in the comment section.

The comments from silly Netizens are always so interesting.

Just as she was watching, Yuan Jie spotted a familiar ID.

"My Buddha is Merciful": Sent another one in; I'm really curious, is it absolutely necessary to make the other party go to jail? They were husband and wife, and there are children; does it need to go this far?

"A Yi is just adding fuel to the fire; this seems to go against our values, doesn't it? Isn't it better to be kind to others? You're wrong; isn't it better to give someone a chance to correct themselves?"

Here we go again, it's that same tone; last time he was roasted by "Mengnan Zhou" for a long time, I thought he wouldn't dare to show his face anymore.

I didn't expect him to dare to pop up again this time!

This guy's comment section already had quite a few sarcastic replies, with everyone saying he is a living Bodhisattva who should be worshipped.

They also took the opportunity to ask him to post his address, as they really wanted to try it in person to see if he was truly a living Bodhisattva.

It's an age-old truth that it's easy to talk when you're not the one suffering; anyone can spout nonsense online, but if you really encounter it yourself, then you'll see what his thoughts are.

There are already similar sayings now: if the apocalypse comes, kill the "saintly" hypocrites on your own side first...

Yuan Jie casually sent the relevant screenshots to Zhou Yi; she really wanted to know how A Yi would handle this matter.

The internet exploded once again because of A Yi's video, and now everyone finally understood why A Yi said when he reposted it earlier that things were not like that.

No wonder; no wonder he was unwilling. Cheating and domestic violence, and he was also a freeloader—anyone would find that unbearable.

But what made many people pay more attention was the protection order; this thing is truly too useful for domestic violence.

Many experts and scholars held discussions, which raised the heat of the case significantly and also made Lawyer Fang very happy.

This is the effect he wanted!

Unsurprisingly, this case was selected as the latest batch of Case Analysis for publicity.

I don't know if others are happy, but Lawyer Fang is certainly happy.

In Guang City, Yuan Jie's classmate prepared to hire a Lawyer; after all, it is a relatively professional matter, and it is not easy for an ordinary person to handle.

But after visiting a few Law Firms, Yuan Jie's classmate was a bit confused, because these firms either wouldn't take such cases or the price was more than she could afford.

In the words of those lawyers, such cases are very troublesome; not to mention that collecting evidence is time-consuming and laborious, even if one wins, there isn't much money to be made.

This is the truth.

What kind of cases do civil lawyers prefer? Those with larger claim amounts, or even some that involve risk.

For example, the Risk Agency that Wang Daoren used to like the most.

Some well-known lawyers even take on only one or two such cases a year, and their income for the year is enough.

There was once news on the internet about an astronomical Lawyer Fee, which was very sensational at the time and let many people encounter the term Risk Agency for the first time.

As for this kind of unilateral application, not only is it troublesome, but the Lawyer Fee is also fixed, so naturally, many people do not want to do it.

In reality, lawyers like Fang Dazhuang are still rare.

After circling around a few times with no results, Yuan Jie's classmate got ruthless; aren't there ready-made examples here? They would learn from the cases inside to collect it themselves, if once isn't enough, then twice, three times!

If it says what evidence is needed in here, then they would collect exactly that evidence!

In Jingzhou, Zhou Yi, who was exercising at home, naturally received the message from Yuan Jie and also felt a bit uncomfortable.

Persuading others to be magnanimous again; I really hope that one day the other party encounters a similar situation.

Forget it, better go downstairs and have a meal first.

There are still quite a few restaurants outside the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter.
