No, the question is whether this violates the WA State constitution. SCOTUS is not an expert on state constitutions; the only angle is if the platiniffs case was the WA state constitution was itself violating the US constitution. But that still wouldnt help in this case because all they could do is throw out the WA constitutional provision entirely and that wouldnt help the plaintiffs.

Tldr: even according to the plaintiffs theres no federal issue here and SCOTUS has no standing

The US Supreme court considers the US constitutional question. This is not a federal constitutional issue.

Its done

Thats not the issue here. Seriously and saying just distracts from the real issues present here. There no evidence police wrongdoing in enforcement played a factor. This is just reddit circle jerking on cop hate

NCOs in WA work exactly that way. You call, police arrive and the person is either arrested if they are there, or a warrant is posted if they are not there. A lot of DV NCOs are put by a judge/court and not by the victim, which of course is a problem far as reporting and enforcement.

Exactly this. This is not oniony if you actually read the article. An investigation is clearly happening and at this point there are no signs of external or internal trauma.

From the article it only mentions an issue with alcohol maybe it’s that

Yes. For multiple times longer than standard for political reasons.

You act like she had some sort of hand in that

Never suggested DV arrests for men and women are equal. Theres a lot of reasons for that. Ie. Men also commit more violent crime in general.

People lie or misrepresent all crimes. That much is true. Routinely Abused DV victims often are too afraid to press charges or are emotionally manipulated into not.

Worked front desk at a PD for several years. You have no idea how common this was. I remember one specific type a woman came in wanting to remove the automatic NCO and retract her statement. I pulled up the case and skimmed the report as I spoke to her. It happened last night, boyfriend beat her badly. Her bruises were still fresh on her check and face. I could do nothing but give her a DV Resources packet and send her to the prosecutors office.

This happened on a weekly basis with multiple women. You read the reports and its horrible. So many times particularly asking for the NCO to be dropped.

And yes,women get arrested for DV against men all the time. I remember giving a womans purse back to her after she was arrested once, girl was about 22 and maybe 130 lbs. She hit her boyfriend who was massive- over 6 feet and big. Cops arrested her and she spent the night in jail. They really dont care about gender, and a lot of times both people can be arrested if its mutual combat.

Sounds good.

I mean, being based on a true story does not stop a fictionalized version from being a white savior story, ie Disneys Pochahantas stories are problematic and The Blind Side.

I assumed he wasn’t until I read the sub Reddit this was on
