The bill would remove criminal liability for assaults against family members, which were first-time offenses, caused no injury that required hospital treatment and excluded rape...
So...basically what we have here, but we still call it a crime and you can get an order of protection.
I disagree with both country’s approaches.
If my BIL slapped my sister a few times but didn’t cause “significant injury”, I would still want him to spend the night in jail.
If my BIL was slapping my sister, he'd spend a few days in hospital.
What if your sister slapped your BIL?
The problem here is mandatory arrest and prosecution even for minor fights when nobody involved wants to press charges. It puts them into the legal system, takes away their second amendment rights, and can bankrupt working class families with legal bills. But the lawyers make money, and laws are mostly written by lawyers.
