If a judge has issued a restraining/protection (proper term?) against someone, but the person has not been served because that person is avoiding the server, is the order still in effect and enforceable by LEO's?
Restraining orders are not enforceable by Law Enforcement. They are civl in nature, and enforceable by contempt of court from the Judge.

Protective Orders are enforcebale, and do not have to be served on the person first.
