Collins v. Bazan

In Collins v. Bazan, 256 Ga. App. 164 (568 SE2d 72) (2002) the Court considered similar challenges to a particular term within a stalking protective order. In that case, we held that the appellant had not preserved for appeal his constitutional arguments, because he failed to raise those objections before the trial court. Id. at 165 (1). The Court noted that the appellant had raised before the trial court a meritorious objection that OCGA 16-5-94 (d) did not authorize a specific term in the order, however, and we thus reversed the portion of the protective order containing the unauthorized term. Id. at 165-166 (2).
