BZZZZT!! Wrong as usual! Also, it's rather sad & disturbing that I'm not shocked in the least to see you defending a wife-beater.

Quote:Can the police arrest someone for domestic violence on the basis of a video?
Case Details: The act of domestic violence was was caught on video tape, but the police were not called and no one wants to press charges.
If the state chooses to pursue charges against you, the police can arrest you regardless of when the domestic violence took place. When the state gets involved in a domestic violence situation, they can pursue charges whether the victim wishes to or not. The victim can express their wishes about not pursuing charges but the final decision will be up to the state. The determination will be based on what evidence the state has which could include emails, texts, and video.
