Like many Real Life conventions, a restraining order in fiction is only as effective as the Rule of Drama or Rule of Funny need it to be. So you've slapped your Stalker with a Crush with a restraining order? Guess what — it won't do a thing to protect you. It just encourages your stalker to get creative (for instance, getting a helicopter license). So you're a Heroic Comedic Sociopath who's been told never to go in that bar again (don't ask — it involved noodles)? You'll be shot on sight if you go anywhere near it. Unfortunately, even in Real Life, restraining orders work on the honor system (think of it like the Amish computer virus). A restraining order cannot physically separate one person from another (unless the offender is fitted with an electronic implant that delivers traumatic shocks whenever he or she gets too close, but that's usually only in futuristic or dystopian stories — or, more realistically, an ankle monitor used for electronic tagging, which has often happened); it just means the other person can call the police and have them arrested on sight if they're violating it. Also, restraining orders on TV usually require the person to maintain a minimum specified distance from another, such as 500 feet, and a common comedy gag is for the person to be dog-piled by an army of police officers the very microsecond they cross some invisible line in the sand and get "too close" to the person in question. In reality, restraining orders usually just order the person to generally refrain from contacting, harassing, following, or stalking the other person, something that doesn't deter a determined stalker (otherwise the offender could violate it entirely by accident just by, for example, being unfortunate enough to go to the same Starbucks at the same hour as the victim). Another such gag involves the person for whom the order was issued torturing the restrained person by continually approaching them, under threat of the order being enforced (another reason they aren't given specific distance limits). In reality, if you approach someone against whom you have a restraining order, they are not considered to have violated it, and if you do so continually, you may find yourself in legal hot water for abuse of the order.

In the Dixie Chicks song "Goodbye Earl," when Wanda filed for divorce against her eponymous abusive husband, she had a restraining order put out against him. It didn't do a thing, as Earl "walked right through" it and sent her to the hospital. When Mary Ann, her best friend and Blood Sister heard of this, she dropped everything to be at Wanda's side, and they decided to get together and kill him. | |

The Simpsons In "On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister", Lisa gets a restraining order against Bart after he pulls some pranks on her during a field trip that is physically enforced with a giant pole that she uses to poke Bart should he get too close to her. Lisa, of course, quickly abuses this and begins moving closer to Bart and poking him for kicks (it's implied that Bart has permanent nerve damage because of the amount of times Lisa has poked him), which forces him to move further away and out of the house and having to be taught by Willie in the school's shed. Also, if Bart had brought up in his appeal to Judge Harm that Lisa was following him around and poking him completely unprovoked (which is actually illegal) instead of insulting her, the restraining order would have easily gotten removed instead of it being increased from 20 to 200 feet. In "When You Dish Upon a Star", after Homer's disastrous performance in a case against Kim Basinger, Alec Baldwin and Ron Howard, Judge Snyder forbids him from coming "within 500 miles of any celebrity, living or dead". Homer reassures himself that he can still do prank calls. In "Lisa the Skeptic" during a court case where Lisa stands accused of destroying what might be the bones of an angel, Judge Snyder orders science to stay 500 yards away from religion at all times. |

Referenced in an episode of MythBusters, where Adam gives a laundry list of comparisons to show what 500 yards of distance is, capping it off with "the distance of your average restraining order". In the episode where they successfully re-tested the Scope Snipe myth, Adam jokes that they no longer have to get one mile restraining orders against angry snipers. |

Total Drama: Izzy spots her ex Graham Cracker in the audience of the Aftermath in "Aftermath I: Trent's Descent". She explains to Geoff and Bridgette that he hit her with a restraining order last year that forbids her from coming closer than 200 meters near him. Despite acknowledging that he is her "old boyfriend", she views the situation as a long-distance relationship and advises Graham to get blinds she can actually see through. In "Finders Creepers", Dakota mentions that Chris put a restraining order on the paparazzi. Not specific individuals, just the paparazzi. So now she's angry that she has no cameras on her. |

In Next Friday, Day-Day has one for a thousand feet on a woman who's been going around saying she's pregnant with his kid (she was already pregnant when she met him, so it is clearly not his). Of course she regularly ignores this, routinely damaging Day-Day's property and showing up at his work to harass him. The vandalism she causes forces this into Values Dissonance and Karma Houdina, as she's not punished in any way for it. | |

An episode of Black Mirror, White Christmas, features a technology called "blocking," which makes it impossible for the blocked person to see you as anything but a gray blob, or understand anything you say. This applies to any pictures of you, as well as your close relatives. If they still try to contact you they get a "legal block," which is basically the same thing as a restraining order. Not only that, but getting on the sex offender registry means that you're blocked to everyone, and are marked out as red instead of gray. A big red target... | |

In Intrepid, there's a restraining order against Sophia, Madison, and Emma being near Taylor after they hospitalized her. Only each one of them has a power that allows them to sneak in and out without being detected, so there's no way they can actually enforce it. In fact, its Played for Drama when Emma breaks into her hospital room only to find her own father there and learn Taylor had been withdrawn by Danny and lost their home. | |

In NCIS, Abby got a restraining order against her stalker ex-boyfriend, which he repeatedly violated over the course of the episode. Toward the end, while he's sitting in an interrogation room and waiting for Gibbs to come in, he starts complaining that what NCIS is doing to him qualifies as harassment, and that maybe he should file a restraining order against them. Abby, who's watching him through the two-way mirror, mutters sarcastically about how that tactic "worked wonders" for her. | |

CSI: Miami played it mostly straight in a third season episode. One of the suspects had a restraining order against another suspect but since it was only for 150 feet, the second suspect had quickly worked out she could still be within his general vicinity at all times without violating her restraining order. In another episode, Boa Vista's former (and abusive) husband gets one against her and then gets a job in a crime scene cleaning company, taking advantage of it to prevent Natalia from doing her job. |

In the Lucifer (2016) fic "The Devil and His Urchin", at one point encouragement from Chloe to cut himself off from his hostile family prompts Lucifer to deliver a restraining order to Amenadiel and even request that he pass on a similar order to God (Lucifer notes that he had to call in a few favours for that one and he's fairly sure the officials are just humouring him anyway). He acknowledges that it's unlikely either can be enforced, particularly since God is omnipresent, but it's still a fun excuse for Lucifer to troll his family. | |

An episode of The Sentinel had a man who had been harassing Detroit. Ellison file a restraining order against him. He then used it to taunt Ellison by showing up at places where he was, and threatening to call the cops if Ellison reacted to his taunting. Ellison shot back that the restraining order works both ways, and that the man wasn't allowed to come near him, either. | |

In Ctrl+Alt+Del, Lucas takes one out against his first girlfriend (who was starting to get a little creepy, may or may not have run him over with her car to meet him and was showing Yandere tendencies). Oddly enough, she's never seen again (apart from once as a hallucination). | |

SuperMarioLogan: In "Mario's New Girlfriend", Mario gets a restraining order from Princess Peach, stating that he is not to go within five miles of her. When Peach drops by to pick up her missing thong, Mario asks her if she sent the restraining order by mistake, but Peach assures him that she meant to send it. At first, Mario is desperate to have Peach back, but with help from Black Yoshi, he starts dating Princess Rosalina, and the two continue dating in later episodes. Also in the same episode, Black Yoshi tells Mario that he has his own restraining order from his ex-girlfriend, stating he is not to go within six miles of her. In "The Restraining Order!", Chef Pee Pee has had enough of Bowser and Junior tormenting him, so he calls Brooklyn T. Guy to get a restraining order. However, rather than limiting his restraining order to just Bowser, Junior, Joseph, and Cody (as they and nobody else was bothering him, and the numerous residents of Mario's house don't normally antagonize him like they do), Chef Pee Pee has the restraining order declare that nobody can go within ten feet of him. This backfires immensely, particularly when Chef Pee Pee tries to order pizza and recieve a package. Eventually, Chef Pee Pee nearly chokes to death on three Jolly Ranchers, and the restraining order makes everyone unable to rescue him. After an alien saves Chef Pee Pee's life, Chef Pee Pee has Brooklyn call off the restraining order for good. |

Spider-Man: One story had a young woman named Vanna Smith get a restraining order against Spider-Man, thinking he was stalking her. The ruling judge explicitly observed that he was just doing this for her state of mind, and also observed that he was restricting the range of the order so that she couldn't complain if Spider-Man just happened to swing overhead her current location. A flash-forward at the fic's conclusion had a woman (all but explicitly confirmed to be Mary Jane) point out to Vanna that her and Spider-Man interacting as much as they did was never anything more than a fluke, and the restraining order would never have stopped him from getting close if he was in the vicinity and she was in danger. | |

In the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Restraining SpongeBob", Squidward gets a restraining order against SpongeBob. This causes much difficulty due to the fact that they work the same shift at the Krusty Krab and have to interact with each other to get anything done during working hours (rearranging the shift schedule so that they don't have to work the same shift is never brought up as a solution, as that would make sense). The other problem is, Mr. Krabs isn't willing to honor the restraining order (which could've gotten him into serious trouble, too) and Squidward isn't willing to take a customer's order even though SpongeBob prepared it without having to go up to Squidward directly. | |

Played for laughs in National Security. The white cop who got jailed for beating up a black man (long story, there was a bee) gets hit with a restraining order when he leaves prison, saying he can't get within a hundred feet of the black man. For most of the film, the black man is following the white cop around, trying to help him solve his partner's murder. When the white cop gets angry about something, the black man responds: "Need I remind you that you are currently in violation of a legally binding restraining order?" The latter later asks a police captain if he could "hook a brother up with another restraining order" after remembering that he left a girl chained to a ceiling pipe in the warehouse (they were in the middle of foreplay). |

Teen Wolf has Jackson get his father (a lawyer) to get one against Scott and Stiles in retribution for them kidnapping him and holding him hostage in a police van and tied up in chains (Long story, he's a supernatural lizard creature, but doesn't realize it himself). Because all three of them are attending the same high school, there is a distance imposed between them, which he takes great pain to announce at every possible opportunity. | |
