Q: what is code 19-7-42 mean when officers get called out to a residents house for a domestic dispute but its against a 19
year kid that isnt even your kid but you wasnt threatening him/her or putting your hands on anyone but yet you was arrested supposedly for a probation violation?
A:
Pretty sure that is some sort of local code, as the OCGA for that number is a venue issue. Without more info it is hard to say.
When officers are dispatched to a DV there are a lot of issues in play, and their primary goals are going to be securing the safety of everyone followed by identifying and arresting any primary aggressors. They will also run everyone through the system for active charges or issues such as probation, as the general and specific terms of probation can be violated being near persons or places of disrepute or that are violating the law. So it is low hanging fruit.
Call a local lawyer that knows the playing field and get advice before you do ANYTHING.
