Bay Area Domestic Violence Law

In California, since the O.J. Simpson case, police and counties have changed how they respond to domestic violence allegations. Prior to the O.J. Case, if the police were called and no one was hurt and where no one wished to press charges, the officers might suggest somebody take a walk to cool off and let the family work things out privately.

Since O.J. this is no longer an option. When police respond to a domestic violence call they are intent on arresting somebody whether it's appropriate or not. Families are not even given the option of resolving issues privately.

Domestic violence law is such that where there is not real injury and the alleged victim does not wish prosecution, the courts still prosecute. Private family matters are aired in public courtrooms jeopardizing career, reputation and further damaging family peace.
