agentes pueden arrestar a alguien solo por motivos razonables, y la persona que llam\u00f3 al 911 no puede cancelar el caso despu\u00e9s.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Una detenci\u00f3n no constituye una acusaci\u00f3n, ya que el fiscal del distrito decide por s\u00ed mismo si presentar o no alguna acusaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Una orden de protecci\u00f3n de emergencia puede impedir que usted permanezca en su hogar, con sus hijos y con su tel\u00e9fono durante unas horas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Se debe llevar ante un juez dentro de las 48 horas posteriores a la detenci\u00f3n, excluyendo los domingos y los d\u00edas festivos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despu\u00e9s de ser arrestado por violencia dom\u00e9stica en California, te arrestan, lo detienen y lo llevan ante un juez dentro de las 48 horas siguientes. Antes de esa audiencia, se puede emitir una orden judicial que te proh\u00edbe entrar en tu propia residencia, contactar con tus contactos telef\u00f3nicos y, a veces, con tus hijos. Violar esa orden, incluso respondiendo a un \u00fanico mensaje de texto, genera un segundo caso penal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La mayor\u00eda de las personas detenidas durante una disputa dom\u00e9stica nunca han visto el interior de una prisi\u00f3n, y el ritmo de esos primeros d\u00edas es desconcertante. <strong>Hurwitz Law Group<\/strong>, Mientras el informe policial a\u00fan se env\u00eda a la oficina del fiscal del distrito, nuestros abogados de defensa penal seguimos adelante con estos casos. Llame a nuestro equipo y pregunte c\u00f3mo podr\u00edan ser los pr\u00f3ximos d\u00edas en su situaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Officers_Often_Make_an_Arrest_Before_Anyone_Decides_Anything\"><\/span>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 los agentes a menudo realizan una detenci\u00f3n antes de que alguien decida algo?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California no deja la decisi\u00f3n de realizar la detenci\u00f3n en manos de las personas involucradas en el incidente. <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN&amp;sectionNum=13701.\" target=\"_blank\">C\u00f3digo Penal 13701<\/a>, Cada agencia encargada de hacer cumplir la ley debe adoptar pol\u00edticas escritas que fomenten la detenci\u00f3n siempre que los agentes tengan motivos razonables para creer que se ha cometido una infracci\u00f3n de violencia dom\u00e9stica. Estas mismas pol\u00edticas requieren la detenci\u00f3n, en ausencia de circunstancias excepcionales, cuando un agente tenga motivos razonables para creer que se ha violado una orden de protecci\u00f3n vigente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un mito generalizado sostiene que este estado obliga a realizar una detenci\u00f3n en cada llamada relacionada con la violencia dom\u00e9stica. El estatuto es m\u00e1s restrictivo que eso, y esta diferencia es importante para su defensa. Los agentes a\u00fan ejercen su juicio en el lugar de los hechos, y el registro de c\u00f3mo lo hicieron puede ser examinado m\u00e1s adelante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El mismo estatuto exige a los agentes que hagan esfuerzos razonables para identificar al agresor dominante, definido como el agresor m\u00e1s significativo, en lugar del primero. Al tomar esa determinaci\u00f3n, el agente debe evaluar la historia entre las partes, las amenazas que generaron temor a lesiones f\u00edsicas y si cada uno de los involucrados actu\u00f3 en leg\u00edtima defensa. Se proh\u00edbe la doble detenci\u00f3n, aunque no est\u00e1 prohibida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nada en ese proceso otorga al individuo que llam\u00f3 al 911 el control sobre lo que sigue. Los fiscales, y no los llamantes, deciden si un caso avanza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_Immediately_After_a_Domestic_Violence_Arrest_in_California\"><\/span>Qu\u00e9 sucede inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de una detenci\u00f3n por violencia dom\u00e9stica en California<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las horas posteriores a una detenci\u00f3n siguen una secuencia predecible, aunque desde dentro de una celda de detenci\u00f3n rara vez se perciba que sea ordenada. Conocer el orden de los acontecimientos te ayuda a reconocer qu\u00e9 momentos realmente importan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Se siguen varias etapas aproximadamente en este orden:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reservas.<\/strong> Los diputados registran su informaci\u00f3n de identificaci\u00f3n, toman huellas dactilares y una fotograf\u00eda, y consultan su historial criminal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Servicio de una orden protectora.<\/strong> Un oficial puede emitir una orden de emergencia antes de que usted deje la custodia, y esa orden se har\u00e1 efectiva en el momento en que la reciba.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Revisi\u00f3n de la custodia y la fianza.<\/strong> Se mantiene en prisi\u00f3n mientras el centro penitenciario aplica el plan de condena a la c\u00e1rcel o remite la cuesti\u00f3n de la libertad condicional a un juez.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Presentaci\u00f3n de cargos.<\/strong> Presenta usted ante el tribunal, donde un juez le informa de las acusaciones y le pide que declare su culpabilidad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cada etapa genera un registro que un abogado defensor puede solicitar y examinar m\u00e1s tarde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El momento se fija por ley en lugar de por la pr\u00e1ctica local. <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=825.&amp;lawCode=PEN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C\u00f3digo Penal 825<\/a> requiere que se le lleve ante un magistrado sin demora innecesaria y dentro de las 48 horas posteriores a la detenci\u00f3n, excluyendo los domingos y los d\u00edas festivos. Los fines de semana y los d\u00edas feriados judiciales pueden extender esa norma de dos d\u00edas a cuatro o cinco d\u00edas reales de detenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Emergency_Protective_Order_and_What_It_Restricts_Right_Away\"><\/span>La Orden de Protecci\u00f3n de Emergencia y lo que restringe de inmediato<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La orden de protecci\u00f3n de emergencia (EPO) es la restricci\u00f3n m\u00e1s r\u00e1pida disponible seg\u00fan la ley estatal.

Los agentes detienen a alguien. La fiscal\u00eda decide despu\u00e9s, a veces semanas despu\u00e9s, si presentar una acusaci\u00f3n, reducir la acusaci\u00f3n o desestimar el caso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Durante la audiencia de acusaci\u00f3n, el juez le informar\u00e1 sobre los cargos presentados, aceptar\u00e1 su declaraci\u00f3n y determinar\u00e1 las condiciones de su puesta en libertad. Casi todos declaran inocentes en esta etapa, lo cual permite conservar todas las opciones que se presenten posteriormente. El tribunal tambi\u00e9n suele emitir una orden de protecci\u00f3n penal, que <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN&amp;sectionNum=136.2.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C\u00f3digo Penal 136.2<\/a> autoriza mientras se est\u00e9 tramitando un caso penal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tambi\u00e9n se establecen las condiciones de liberaci\u00f3n. Un juez puede liberar a la persona bajo fianza, imponer una fianza o imponer condiciones como la inscripci\u00f3n en un programa de asesoramiento o restricciones de contacto. Estos t\u00e9rminos regir\u00e1n la vida cotidiana de la persona hasta que el caso concluya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A veces, no se presenta ninguna acusaci\u00f3n en absoluto. Una causa puede cerrarse en la etapa de presentaci\u00f3n de la acusaci\u00f3n cuando la evidencia disponible no respalda los elementos que un fiscal tendr\u00eda que probar en el tribunal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charges_a_Prosecutor_May_File_After_a_Domestic_Violence_Arrest\"><\/span>Se cobra una multa al fiscal que pueda presentar despu\u00e9s de una detenci\u00f3n por violencia dom\u00e9stica<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dos estatutos son responsables de la mayor\u00eda de las denuncias de violencia dom\u00e9stica en este estado. \u00bfCu\u00e1l de los dos se aplica a la queja depende en gran medida de si la otra parte sufri\u00f3 una lesi\u00f3n f\u00edsica visible?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Misdemeanor_Domestic_Battery_Under_Penal_Code_243e1\"><\/span>Delito menor: agresi\u00f3n dom\u00e9stica seg\u00fan el C\u00f3digo Penal 243(e)(1)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los delitos dom\u00e9sticos incluyen la utilizaci\u00f3n de una fuerza no autorizada contra un c\u00f3nyuge, compa\u00f1ero de vida, ex c\u00f3nyuge, novio, pareja de citas o el otro progenitor de su hijo.
