Imagine if the police came to a call of reported DV, found the female victim with a head wound she'd received in her sleep, a male assailant who had self-harmed and was kicking off, then asked the woman to do a voluntary drug test.
I can smell the outrage from here.
What an absolutely disgusting abuse of power, and flagrant disregard for oh, I dunno, the law.
Do you mind if we just do a quick drug test to check if you, uh, did anything drug related in your sleep that might have justified this person hitting you hard enough with an object to cause an open wound?
Imagine getting that one through the DToA process. Was the suspect arrested? Well...no. OK, were they displaying behaviour associated with use of Class A at the time they were...um...not arrested? Well... actually, they were asleep, that well known symptom of stimulant abuse.
If this happened, it's disgraceful. No wonder men don't come forward when they're being abused.
