So is there any formal movement to try to change these laws that you know of?
Elected officials (judges, legislators, etc.) are not about to do anything to change these laws. They don't want to run the risk of being considered "soft on domestic violence" and having someone run against them in the next election.
On their face, they are good laws. Who can defend domestic violence? The laws don't need to be changed - their administration does.
Also, prosecutors should prosecute people who file false police reports.
They don't. If they did, they might be branded as being 'soft on domestic violence'.
The sad thing is that a restraining order won't stop a true abuser, as a cursory examination of the headlines will reveal.
