TRO was filed by ex and in NJ the TRO is handled by the family court- in NJ when a person is requesting and granted a TRO criminal charges are often filed with it, those are handled in municipal court or superior court depending on the charges and they are handled separately from the TRO. TRO's are granted simply on the word of the person making the allegations. Shortly after the TRO is granted a FRO hearing is set and then the defendant is allowed to defend themselves. The TRO in my case was dismissed, because the allegations were proven to be unsubstantiated. The municipal charges dismissed on September 20th are the same charges filed June 21, the #'s on my arrest warrant I received last night and the dismissal document both match. I was never notified that there was a outstanding warrant at any time during any of the court preceding's. How is there a warrant out for my arrest and no one notifies me even after I appear in court twice for the charges associated with the warrant? The charges are dismissed and then I am subsequently arrested. Then once I provide proof of the dismissal I am still processed and booked and held until my bail is posted. I have never been arrested in my life before last night, So for anyone to say mistakes happen is outrageous and now I have an arrest record, mug shot and my fingerprints are in the system. I was pulled over October 21st for air fresheners hanging from my rear view mirror, I was not charged with anything or written any tickets in that matter.
Criminal courts often impose TRO's in conjunction with the filing of a domestic
violence compliant. That is why I asked who issued it. It is not likely that tro would be dismissed until the criminal charges are dealt with.

Criminal charges are not filed based only on a TRO request. The prosecutor files charges and it is only upon a review of the facts at hand and determining there is a valid basis for
filing charges. An arrest warrant is issued only by the courts after being presented probable cause in the request for the warrant.

Have you checked the court docket records to be certain the warrant was issued on jun 21? . Regardless, you were given notice of the warrant when you were arrested. That is when most people discover there is a warrant for
their arrest.

whether you were ticketed or charged when pulled over is irrelevant as long as the cop had reasonable suspicion of a crime. That gives them a legal basis to stop you. I suspect the stuff hanging from your mirror constituted a crime (obstructed view is often the issue caused)
