Section 6405 Of Part 5. Uniform Interstate Enforcement Of Domestic Violence Protection Orders Act From California Family Law Code >> Division 10. >> Part 5.
6405
. (a) There shall be no civil liability on the part of, and no
cause of action for false arrest or false imprisonment against, a
peace officer who makes an arrest pursuant to a foreign protection
order that is regular upon its face, if the peace officer, in making
the arrest, acts in good faith and has reasonable cause to believe
that the person against whom the order is issued has notice of the
order and has committed an act in violation of the order.
(b) If there is more than one order issued and one of the orders
is an emergency protective order that has precedence in enforcement
pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 136.2 of the
Penal Code, the peace officer shall enforce the emergency protective
order. If there is more than one order issued, none of the orders
issued is an emergency protective order that has precedence in
enforcement, and one of the orders issued is a no-contact order, as
described in Section 6320, the peace officer shall enforce the
no-contact order. If there is more than one civil order regarding the
same parties and neither an emergency protective order that has
precedence in enforcement nor a no-contact order has been issued, the
peace officer shall enforce the order that was issued last. If there
are both civil and criminal orders regarding the same parties and
neither an emergency protective order that has precedence in
enforcement nor a no-contact order has been issued, the peace officer
shall enforce the criminal order issued last.
(c) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to exonerate a peace
officer from liability for the unreasonable use of force in the
enforcement of the order. The immunities afforded by this section
shall not affect the availability of any other immunity that may
apply, including, but not limited to, Sections 820.2 and 820.4 of the
Government Code.
