“I remember the day I realized that I had to stop calling the police, no matter what danger I was in. It was 9 April 2012 when the police came to my home to arrest my ex-boyfriend, who had physically assaulted me. When they were there, an officer told me I was “on three strikes”. I had no idea what he was referring to, nor did he explain. “We are gonna have your landlord evict you” he added. Later, after I requested more information from the police department, I was told I was being punished for calling 911.

Norristown, Pennsylvania, where I live, had a local nuisance law that specifically said that calls about domestic violence would count as “strikes”. Three would lead to eviction. I wanted to keep my home for me and my child - so I stopped calling the police, even when there was more domestic violence at my home. But I couldn’t stop other people calling 911. I received two more strikes from the city as a result of other people trying to help me.

In late May, my landlord and I met with Norristown officials because the city was threatening to revoke his rental license unless I moved out. I tried to explain that I was dealing with domestic violence, but no one listened. Instead, I was told I was at fault for needing police protection.”

What a stupid law! I’ve never heard about it. We all know that there will always be people who abuse free services as with 999 calls for ambulances, but to punish a victim of domestic violence in this way beggars belief. Surely the police are capable of distinguishing between someone who is in genuine need of protection and someone who is abusing the service.

I wonder how Lakisha found the strength to think about other people rather than yourself, I’m not sure if I would…
