Journal 18# what pisses me off?

i thought I was going to have a fun time camping out at Best Buy Kalihi for black friday. But NO! I was tired, it was cold and it was raining cats and dogs! There was a long line but still I was glad that there about 200 people after me. Things were okay until a lady at the U-haul company complained that us campers were blocking the parking way. She called the cops on us and the cops made everything worst! Because of them the lines were messy and there was a huge commotion!! The cops were ignorant and didn't care about the situation! What pisses me off? ignorant COPS!

DRAFT

The government and law has tried to put an end to abuse in relaitonships. Domestic violence restraining orders can help put a temporary end to abuse. But at times these TROS can't always help domestic problems.

Domestic violence restraining orders (DRVAS) are just like temporary restraining orders (TROS). DRVAS are issued to the abusers which state that they cannot be at a certain distance from and cannot talk to person who issued the restraining order. If these laws on the DVRA are broken the abusers face criminal charges such as: fines, or a minimum days in jail. If these laws are broken again the abuser faces harsher penalties depending on the state/county. These restraining orders are only temporary and do not last long.

DVRAS can help put an end to abuse in relationships. But DVRAS aren't as effective as the government and police say it is. Remember restraining orders are just laws written on paper. Just because the abuser has a restraining order agains them doesnt mean they wont stop seeing, threatening, or abusing there ex partners. It also doesn't mean that the person who filed the restraining order will follow the restraining order as well.

Just because a piece of paper states that the abuser should be away from the abused doesnt mean they will follow it. The abusers will still abuse or assault them. Stalking is common from thats done in abusive relationships. Department of Justice reports that 76% of women who were murdered are stalked proior to their deaths. An incident in Hawaii, happened when a man broke the laws of an restraining order which was filed by his ex girlfriend. This man broke the restraining order 3 times and assaulted her. The third time he broke the restraining order she was found dead.

DVRAS are not only temporary but they are poorly issued and monitiored. Restraiing orders should be at doubt when it comes to securing and saving people's lives. Restraining orders should have much stronger rules and regulations. DVRAS offer no protection in the long run since it is temporary. Statistics say that the risk of harm actually incresases than decreasing. The consenquences of violating the restraining order are minor as well. If the offender violates th restraining order, the offencer might be sentenced for a minimum days in jail with a criminal record.

Restraining orders agaisnt abusive relationships shpould be reinforced and regulated better. Increasing abuse and death still happens because of poor monitoring and issuing of restraining orders. Restraining orders should be much stronger than rules written on paper!!
