You are way off, like, literally on every front. First, protective ( you call it a 'restraining') orders are effected on persons and ban them from a) being within a certain distance of other, articulated and specified, persons and b) ban prohibited people from, articulated and specified, locations. They do not ban people from public places, save for if a protected party is in a public place. Second, and pay attention here, a Protection order is an appealable court order. If you'd like to READ the article, Judge Robbins addressed this point more than any other - you know, since it was the crux of the argument. Regarding Robbins, he's a former prosecutor - a Chief Deputy in the Denver DA's Family and Gang Violence Unit. To put it more bluntly - he's NOT very friendly to defendants, though he is very fair - very pragmatic but very, very fair. He's about the last guy in Denver District Court that defense attorneys celebrate when he presides over those matters. Any more failed arguments?
