Colorado domestic violence laws
In the State of Colorado, police can be required to make an arrest if they have probable cause to believe that domestic abuse and or violence has taken place. Colorado has instituted a Fast Track program for those charged with domestic violence, which puts pressure on the accused to enter a guilty plea, oftentimes less than 24 hours after the arrest has taken place. A plea at this point could lead to onerous probation requirements including up to a year of domestic violence counseling and treatment and a permanent record that will haunt you for life. Before you plead guilty or agree to any Fast Track conditions, it is wise to consult with a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney with experience handling domestic violence cases in Colorado.
