GOING TO JAIL For Nothing Did you know that Colorado’s domestic violence laws enable you to be jailed and your guns taken away even though you’ve done nothing wrong?

• Why a domestic violence label can get attached to your case
• How courts are unevenly applying the law
• Some reasons for the difficulties in the law
• Steps you can take regarding this law
THE PRESENTATION Here Discusses :
UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL STATUS Of The Phrase Domestic Violence Domestic violence, technically, is not a crime. Instead, it is something called a sentence enhancer. Attaching the domestic violence label to a crime (theft, for instance), increases the punishment associated with that crime.
BUT THE LAW IS THE LAW, RIGHT? The Courts Will Know What To Do. Wrong. Different courts across the state apply this domestic violence law differently.
TWO EXAMPLES OF THE Problems With The Law 1. Police may arrest someone on a
domestic violence call just to protect the police department from later embarrassment if something goes wrong.
2. An unscrupulous spouse could threaten to report a domestic violence situation.
