What is a violation of injunction charge?
Violating an injunction is a crime, prosecuted independently of whatever produced the injunction.
What counts: contact of any kind, direct or indirect, including through third parties. Going to a prohibited location. Possessing a firearm where prohibited. Any other conduct the specific order forbids.
Three things worth understanding.
The other person's consent is irrelevant. An invited contact is still a violation, and this is the most common way these charges arise.
Indirect contact counts. Messages through a friend, social media interaction, and third-party communications all qualify.
The underlying case doesn't matter. A violation stands on its own even if the original allegation is dismissed, and even if the injunction is later dissolved.
Florida's stated legislative policy favors criminal prosecution as the method of enforcing injunctions, which means these are pursued rather than overlooked.
The injunction and the criminal case are separate. Violating one doesn't depend on the other. ---
