And how does it abrogate the First Amendment?
Final peace orders. The respondent has the opportunity to be present at the final peace order hearing. If the judge believes that you have been abused by the person you are filing against and that the abuser is likely to abuse you again in the future, s/he may issue a final peace order, which can last for up to 6 months.*9 As of October 2011, peace orders can be extended.*10 See Can I modify, cancel or extend my peace order? for more information.
I cannot see how blogging about someone’s criminal past falls under the category of abuse or harrassment. But then, I’m not a Maryland judge.
