Der State of Ohio just passed some new domestic violence laws. Now, an arrest is almost mandatory. All the female has to do is say she is in fear of the male. She doesnt even have to sign charges anymore, the officers are supposed to come up with who the 'aggressor' is and make an arrest, regardless of what the people involved want.

In our muni court we've got a few "domestic violence advocates" who go over our police reports and if there is something in the report they dont like they complain to the sympathetic chief who has the captain call us on the carpet.

I still do what I feel is best, the state can go take a leap. But they are taking the control out of the hands of the officers and making arrest mandatory. scary.

Once some guy called the police station and said he wanted to tell us that he was going to go play basketball with his buddies. He said that his wife didnt want him to go and if he wasnt back at 6 she was going to call the police and have him charged with DV.

Sure enough, 6 oclock rolls around and the woman called the po-po to report her husband had beat her up and that he could be found playing basketball at such and such location. The guys went to her house, let her sign and then locked her up for making a false police report.
