Minimizing by the Officer

 Dual arrest made without establishing probable cause against both parties can result in the victim being falsely arrested  In some states police officers shall not threaten, suggest, or otherwise indicate the possible arrest of all parties to discourage future requests for intervention by police  False arrest places the law enforcement officer in civil jeopardy Section Two, Handout #12

Fear Who talks or appears scared? Remember your last use of force report Section Two, Handout #5

Body Language Who displays an aggressive stance? Consider the physical size of the parties.

History of Abuse  Medical records, 911 tapes, police reports, shelter stays and protective orders. Examine the paper trail.
