Unlawful communications are any that violate an existing restraining order. A party may record those communications without prior notice[ as notice has been given via the restraining order] and present the recording as evidence of violation of the restraining order.

Depends on context. Typically it means if there's a restraining order with no contact and the restrained person calls, the call can be recorded.

Sounds like permission in a domestic violence restraining to tape record communications in violation of the restraining orders which otherwise would be a violation of anti- wiretapping statutes.
