Anything you say can and will be used against you, including in other cases; testimony in a civil protection order hearing is transcribed and can be pulled by the DA and used in a related criminal case.
“the only way that they can get that off usually is to testify in the civil protection order case but anything that you say as everyone probably knows can and will be used against you that includes in other cases yeah so if you get up and you are trying to do a protection order on your own but you have a criminal case you have to know that anything that you say in that civil protection order hearing there's going to be a transcript the state or the da can pull that transcript and use every single thing you say against you so when i have clients who are dealing with kind of an assault on two fronts what i tell them is okay number one don't say anything without me ever ever but two we can often fight a protection order on the civil side without the criminal client having to testify if we can bring in other witnesses who can rebut it”
