Domestic Violence Bail Bond Sacramento

Under California law, domestic violence is a crime. Criminal code section 273.5 sets forth criminal penalties including jail or prison and participation in a 52 week batterer�s treatment program.

Domestic Violence is not just hitting. Abuse can be kicking, shoving, pushing, pulling hair, throwing things, scaring or following the victim, or keeping the victim from freely coming and going.

Before 1984, most police could not legally make a warrantless arrest unless a misdemeanor occurred in the officer's presence, or the officer had probable cause to believe that a felony had taken place. Since most domestic violence cases involve simple assault and battery, which was a misdemeanor the police could not make an arrest at the scene. Advising the husband or boyfriend to "take a walk around the block" was often the extent of police intervention. All 50 states now provide for warrantless arrests in domestic violence cases.

PC 273.5 (a) - Any person who willfully inflicts upon a person who is his or her spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, former cohabitant, or the mother or father of his or her child, corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition, is guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not more than one year, or by a fine of up to six thousand dollars ($6,000) or by both that fine and imprisonment.
