The double standard with self-defense laws is real, especially since "imminent threat" is interpreted so differently in domestic cases compared to street encounters.

In Colorado, the law is aggressive about arresting suspects if domestic violence is even suspected, which can complicate things for victims too.

When I was trying to understand the mandatory protection orders that get issued here, reaching out to Boulder Criminal Lawyer McCabe Law was the only way I could make sense of the legal fallout.

Documenting everything is your best bet because courts often favor physical evidence over testimony in these scenarios.
