> Are we going to consider pretrial detention for all cases of accused DV? And wouldn't that have all of the same issues with a lower standard of evidence but infringe even more on their rights? I think we should. The reason permanent orders are handed out like candy is because the judge wants to err on the side of caution. It's the same reason cops are more willing to use force when they have a taser than when they have a gun - there's no consequences for doing so. Make there be real consequences for wrongly issuing a protection order, and you'll have fewer wrongly issued protection orders.
