(5,756 posts)The person getting "kicked out of his/her home" has been judged as a threat by the legal system by a judge. And, BTW, people who are charged with crimes are remanded to custody all the time - by a judge and also pre-conviction. Not even based on the possible threat of further violence; just possible flight risk as well.
So let's take your absurd argument to its conclusion. Restraining orders should never be issued. Therefore, people with a history of abuse that a judge would otherwise issue a restraining order on should be allowed to go back to their physical residence - it's not really a "home" to the people being abused. They should be allowed physical contact with the people they've allegedly abused with the possible outcome being further abuse and possible death of the abused persons. So much for their right to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
Isn't that what you're really advocating in your argument?
