Quick note that is neither in favor nor opposed:
In many places in the US, you need to provide an address in order to get a protective order so that the subject of the order knows where they can’t go. For people that have left violent partners, that’s a generally bad idea, since police generally don’t do anything to enforce protective orders, even after repeated violations.
