Reply #40: He is wrong about police arresting people on false domestic battery reports.

"All they have to do is call the police and get the person thrown out. If I call the police and say you're abusing me, they'd have to believe me..."

Not true. Hasn't he ever seen Cops? They don't arrest anyone for domestic violence if there are no visible injuries. You pick that up pretty quickly from watching just a few episodes...

Edit: I admit I watch the TV show Cops, and I also admit I am basing my opinion of how police handle domestic violence cases mostly on what I have seen on Cops.

But also, a good friend of mine who was a victim of domestic violence, several years ago, is now facing impossibility in getting a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend who acts menacingly towards her whenever they run into each other, because there is no police record of domestic violence between the couple, and she cannot give proof that he injured her in the past.
