Too bad there is not an automatic presumption of perjury on the part of the accuser is the DV charges are dropped or the accused is found not guilty...
OK – I have some serious issues with this. All a female has to do is call 911 (or the MPs if on a military base) and say that she was “afraid” her husband or male significant other was GOING to hit/strike/abuse her. No physical evidence of any abuse is required. BAM! Politically correct judges will INSTANTLY dispatch the (“Oh, boy, OVERTIME!”) unionized cops to the residence, body slam, cuff and shackle and probably mace the male in question, and “confiscate” all his weaponry. In the case of the military man, no matter there’s no evidence, no matter what the female’s record is, his career is OVER. In no other situation do the jackbooted wannabes act with like zeal, in no other like situation do PC judges and DAs order weapons seizure. Hey – if a MALE calls and says that HEs being physically threatened by his FEMALE significant other (especially on a military installation) he gets “Yeah, right”. And if Barney Fife DOES respond, do HER weapons get seized? Hell, no. Bottom line – any male who would abuse a woman is not a man and deserves to get what he has coming. However, PC cops and judges need to wake up and read the Constitution. In this case, the man’s PARENT’s guns were seized because in “officer in-my-opinion’s” view, Dad’s gun was “under the control” of the male in question. Reprehensible. Barney needs to be prosecuted and FIRED.

That’s a good idea for really nasty individuals if we could separate these cases out cleanly.
After the implementation of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), what happens after a husband-wife spat that ends in an arrest of either is bad for husband and wife and kids. Peaceful reconciliation occurs in the great majority of the cases now. Your idea would mean peaceful reconciliation would be nullified and result in further destruction of the family.
I think most of these arrests now are occurring because of the ‘no discretion’ policy legislatures have implemented. Whereas, in the past, what usually ended in no arrest before VAWA, now we’re getting far too many arrests.
