“A law like this can scoop up a lot of innocent victims” if people aren’t able to prove their case to the police’s satisfaction, Mitchell said. “This added factor that our lawmakers are trying to bring into the equation will really bolster a lot of [abusers’] ability to keep victims from speaking up.”

Considering this is Alabama, I assume that’s the intention. Give police a carte blanche to abuse the victims who called them, and make it harder to escape domestic abuse. Total fascist’s delight.
