The jurisdiction authorizing the release shall <br /> determine whether that person should be prohibited from having any contact with the <br /> victim. If there is no outstanding restraining or protective order prohibiting that person <br /> from having contact with the victim, the court authorizing release may issue, by <br /> telephone, a no-contact order prohibiting the person charged or arrested from having <br /> contact with the victim or from knowingly coming within, or knowingly remaining <br /> within, a specified distance of a location. <br /> 2.
