Now, I'll admit the domestic violence laws aren't perfect. The system can be abused, and domestic violence against men is usually ignored or receives a lighter, if any, punishment, and men are often thrown in jail for defending themselves against female attackers. That is in no way, shape, or form acceptable. However, this proposed law isn't the way to go about fixing these imperfections.
The police would need a warrant for an arrest, regardless of what evidence is present at the scene. The woman has a black eye, a bloody nose, and says her boyfriend slugged her? The man is missing several teeth, has a badly bruised cheek, and says his girlfriend smacked him with a frying pan? The cops wouldn't be allowed to do anything to help either person until a judge gave the say so. This means the cop has to leave the scene, probably LEAVING THE PERSON WHO CALLED FOR HELP WITH THE PERSON THEY ARE CLAIMING ATTACKED THEM, while they try to get a warrant out of a judge. It is quite clear why this is a distinctly bad idea.
There is also the gun thing, but I'm not sure where I stand there.
Really? I didn't know that. I thought it was the restraining order bill that required a warrant to arrest someone for a violation that got killed.
Ha Ha Ha The Black Goblin says violence is violence and here in the Anachosyndicalist Goblin stronghold of New Hampshire Its OFF WITH THEIR HEADS.
This is called necro-ing a thread, Black Goblin, and it is considered bad form.
I can understand, that as a member of the Free NH Goblin Resistance you would be compelled to post here as a blow against Mama Kelsey and her imperialist ways, but you have to weigh your jokes againt the gravitas of the thread.
Let this one go, young grasshopper.
Gulp Gulp.....The Black Goblin is not endorsing Domestic violence as a fun past-time or anything. The Black Goblin believes violence is violence and its all the same no matter whos doing it to who. So...Ya LIVE FREE OR DIE!!!!!!!!!!and if someones preventing you from this endeavor than itssss OFF WITH THEIR HEADS

I protest this statement. I believe that thread necromancy is perfectly acceptable if you have something to say on the issue.
Do not encourage the Black Goblin!
Thread necromancy requires at least a month. Less than two years is lightweight. Six years is impressive.

Regardless of what is and is not necromancy, I believe that it is generally acceptable.
can't you get a warrant with a phone call these days?
I'm pretty sure that would be unconstitutional, BNW.
I wouldn't be surprised.

Whats unconstitutional about it? The cop calls a judge, the judge digitally signs a warrant and sends it as PDF. It in no way violates the spirit of the law and the warrant existing digitally is no more a violation than the warrant existing on paper rather than on the sheep skin they used in ye olden dayes.
You keep the judiciaries check on the police and allow for the arrest and summary removal of the perpetrator from the premises.

I thought you were talking about a verbal warrant, which would never be constitutional.
