I imagine most cases get dismissed. Because the couples get back together.
Illegally dumping and destroying habitat are pretty significant offenses in my book.

We do know for a stone-cold fact that the person falsely accused usually gets his rights back, and that it usually isn't that much trouble. In rare cases it's a bit of a hassle. Fine with me. Marry in haste, repent at leisure. Don't get involved with psychos. Don't be such a horrible person that your ex wants to punish you. If you're decent and do the right thing, in all cases, at all times, you won't have these kinds of problems.
Don't get involved with psychos.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Shakespeare said that 400 years ago and the truth of it hasn't changed one iota. Don't scorn women and they won't file frivolous domestic assault charges on you.
And HOW do we know this for a "stone cold fact" Because YOU said it was so?
Police are not -required- to make an arrest even if they witness a crime take place (ie, robbery, murder, etc), so "color me doubtful".I know there is a law in my city that requires an arrest if a domestic violence call is made.
(1) When a peace officer determines that there is probable cause to believe that a crime or offense involving domestic violence, as defined in section 18-6-800.3 (1), has been committed, the officer shall, without undue delay, arrest the person suspected of its commission pursuant to the provisions in subsection (2) of this section, if applicable, and charge the person with the appropriate crime or offense. Nothing in this subsection (1) shall be construed to require a peace officer to arrest both parties involved in an alleged act of domestic violence when both claim to have been victims of such domestic violence. Additionally, nothing in this subsection (1) shall be construed to require a peace officer to arrest either party involved in an alleged act of domestic violence when a peace officer determines there is no probable cause to believe that a crime or offense of domestic violence has been committed. The arrested person shall be removed from the scene of the arrest and shall be taken to the peace officer's station for booking, whereupon the arrested person may be held or released in accordance with the adopted bonding schedules for the jurisdiction in which the arrest is made.
It shall be unlawful for any person—
...
(8) who is subject to a court order that—
(A) was issued after a hearing of which such person received actual notice, and at which such person had an opportunity to participate;
(B) restrains such person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of such person or child of such intimate partner or person, or engaging in other conduct that would place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of bodily injury to the partner or child; and
(C)
(i) includes a finding that such person represents a credible threat to the physical safety of such intimate partner or child; or
(ii) by its terms explicitly prohibits the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against such intimate partner or child that would reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury; or
(9) who has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence,
to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.

A person in Michigan, convicted of domestic assault, who successfully completes all the terms of his/her sentence and is discharged from jail/probation, is once again allowed to possess firearms in Michigan. We've caselaw that verifies this.
If somebody is robbing banks or snatching an oldlady's purse by all means revoke his right to carry, but illegally dumping tree branches, or destroying a gopher tortise's natural habitat? Give me a break.
