A Thai woman I know met a Dutch guy and went to visit him in Holland several times. On the third occasion they had a massive fight and he pushed her resulting in her bruising her face as she fell. Neighbours who heard the fight called the police who arrived to check on things, by which time things had calmed down. When the Police saw the bruising they arrested the guy and charged him with assault. The Thai woman couldn’t understand why the Police wouldn’t just leave as she didn’t want to press charges. She couldn’t understand how enforcing the law was something the police did without being pushed to do it or paid to do it.
