Can an injunction be used to protect a person from prosecution for the alleged commission of a criminal offence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Walker v. Meehan, 194 Cal.App.3d 1290, 240 Cal.Rptr. 171 (Cal. App. 1987):
"As a general rule an injunction will not be granted to protect a person from prosecution for the alleged commission of a criminal offense on a showing that he is not guilty of such offense or that the law does not apply to him. The court having jurisdiction over criminal offenses is the forum in which such questions of fact must be determined. [Citations.]" (Pitchess v. Superior
