I think you may be confusing a restraining order with an Order of protection. But yes, I did say the Judge made her decision to issue the order of protection based on the information in those docs. Read the following passage below:
"A criminal court order of protection is issued as a condition of a defendant’s release and/or bail in a criminal case. A criminal case usually begins with a person’s arrest. The person charged with abuse is called a “defendant.” The victim of abuse is called the “complaining witness.” A criminal court order of protection may only be issued against a person who has been charged with a crime...The judge decides whether to issue the order of protection and what terms and conditions will be included in the order."
As you can see, the Judge doesn't need a request from the victim to assign an order of protection in a criminal court case. Interestingly enough, the Beef DVD made a similar point about the order of protection being court procedure too.
