I’ve heard that it cost a lot of cops their jobs.
This POS law was Hillary's VAWA, "Violence Against Women [but not men?] Act".
The basic idea was, hey look, you can get a divorce and get your departing ex thrown in federal prison with a sentence that won't wash off! Be nasty! Oh, and get his gun rights away from him for me, if you would, ..... and establish some precedent for denying rights broadly using misdemeanor charges as McGuffins for rights-stripping of Problem Individuals.
These guys are always thinking three moves ahead.
