Defendants to Pay $100 Fine for Being Served with a Restraining Order in NC

Michael_NC writes "An article in the Raleigh, NC News and Observer tells of new regulations and laws for domestic violence. The one thing that stands out the most is the introduction of a $100 fee that the person served with a restraining order would have to pay to help defray administrative costs. So lets see if I have this right. I saved the text of the article, so email me if you would like it. A woman gets a restraining order on dubious grounds to make room for a new boyfriend. So not only is the current guy out on the street, he gets to pay $100 for the privilege? I think this is rotten to the core."
