Did you know you can make one phone call to Greeley, Evans, or Erie police and there is a guarantee someone will be arrested? This is because of a law which requires the police to arrest someone when a Domestic Violence incident is reported in Weld, Morgan or Logan County (Colorado statute 18-6-803.6).
Women Have the Control with Mandatory Arrest Law
This mandatory arrest law is ridiculous and unjust. When police respond to a call where a woman says her abusive boyfriend is hitting her, who do you think the police will believe? Will they arrest the cute damsel in distress, or the lurking, violent boyfriend? The answer is simple: 99% of the time, Greeley, Berthoud, or Windsor police will haul the man off to jail. Let’s say the woman hit her boyfriend first. If he strikes back, he’ll be arrested. Feminists and victims’ rights advocates have twisted the law to use for their own purpose. These groups believe all men are evil and abusive towards women. They believe women are always the victims. They don’t understand an arrest is serious. A man could be sitting in jail and be unable to get to work. He could get fired and then be unable to meet the needs of his family. When basic needs aren’t met, families turn to the government for subsistence. When lawmakers bow to the pressure of feminists and victims’ rights advocates, they create a society which ultimately depends on the government. More government is usually a bad thing.
Domestic Violence Doesn’t Equal Violence
People may think Domestic Violence (DV) is a much more serious offense than it really is in Wellington, Johnstown, or Thornton. Did you know a man calling his girlfriend and then hanging up on her is considered to be DV? Or that yelling at someone can lead to a DV arrest? Let’s say a couple get into an argument. The woman calls the police to exact revenge on her boyfriend. He is arrested for Harassment and Domestic Violence, and a Temporary Restraining Order is issued. He doesn’t know the seriousness of the court hearing for his restraining order, and it is made permanent. The argument and a revengeful girlfriend have negatively affected his future. Now, he can never own a firearm. He may have difficulty finding a job because of his record. In the name of “safety,” mandatory arrest law destroys lives.
