The restraining order does, however, put a little more bite into the sentencing...after the fact.

I didn't communicate my entire line of thinking in my post. Given your information regarding how difficult these arrests can be, the "obligation" I referred to also gives the police the political support that might not be found in every 911 call. If a judge has deemed that a restraining order is justified, the police cannot be faulted for jailing him. Under this circumstance, the law has clearly been broken.
The police will certainly be blamed now with the additional information that Sultana has provided.
