The officers showed up and saw a guy who took a booster seat, food, and medical information/a wallet and was controlling where someone he was romantically involved in could go. The law is very skeptical about instances when a person controls where someone can go. That is a literal redflag that they teach you about in those classes, clinics, and a sign of ongoing DV or is indicative of a high chance of DV. The officers did their job and the law in Colorado is imperfect, but most laws are. Jeudy didn't suffer some indignity that was unearned.
