What requirements or mandates are there to investigate domestic violence. I have been assaulted on 4 (reported) separate occasion by my stbx wife. All times the police just come separate us and make one of us leave. No investigations are completed and all the reports i have obtained state that "Both parties involved advised police that no assaults or threats had taken place."
This is the farthest from the truth. When the police arrived on all occasions the first thing I said to them was that my wife had assaulted me.
On the one 911 call I obtained you can clearly hear my stbx tell the 911 operator that she slapped me. Which was of course only part of what she actually did to me.
The thing that is really bothering me is that if any of these situations had been the other way around I can almost guarantee I would be out the door in cuffs.
Last night the officer specifically told me that her trying to forcefully remove my cell phone from my hand is not assault. It's just an argument. I had the whole thing on video. The officer did not want to see it and performed no investigation other than taking statements. The only notes he took was my Name DOB and cell phone number.
Criminal Code
But I guess I see the problem.
Not sure what to do if it happens again as the police do not take this seriously and it makes me look like an idiot. I'm tired of being harassed and abused.
Am I able to go to the police station and ask the charges be laid even thought the officers on scene did nothing. Should I try. Or will it just look like a moron on a mission.
