Question Presented (from Petition)

Does Mass. G.L. c. 209A(l)b prima facie infringe a defendant's 5th and 14th Amendment rights to due process and equal protection, with no remedy, by making the record of a vacated ex-parte restraining order, that did not survive two-party scrutiny, available to courts and law enforcement, which, respectively, may use it to assess a false impression of dangerousness in a traffic stop or as a reason to withhold bail in regard to the defendant.
