Many women take advantage of this, as saintfan has pointed out in previous posts. Unfortunately, it is part of many a divorcing woman's playbook to erroneously make domestic dispute calls in an effort to have their spouses arrested. Mine tried it a few times until I convinced the arresting officers that seeing as how there were no signs of an altercation and she was the one making the calls that maybe she should be the one taken into custody. Worked out well, never had another incident after that, .

Doesn't seem like that's the case with JG's situation though, .

Love ya Slo but I'm sorry I have to intervene here.

First off there is not a requirement by police departments to make an arrest on a domestic with "little or no evidence".

That's illegal.

And if you guys have dumb enough cops in your portion of country that do that (not saying you don't), then they won't be cops for very long.

God, maybe I should just avoid these conversations. This is getting ridiculous. Like the guy who tells everyone he got pulled over for going 1 mph over the speed limit and got "screwed" by getting a DUI.

Look, I know there are some messed up cops out there. But they are rare. And just because you dealt with a piece of **** doesn't mean most of them are. The piece of **** you dealt with is the minority, not the majority.

Most officers do what we do to help and to take care of people. Most officers would take a bullet for you.

Don't believe it? Go for a ride-a-long one day.
