The rules are the same as far as evidence. Only differences are on bond conditions and the consequences of a conviction for domestic assault.
And the fact that officers are REQUIRED by law to arrest in domestic assaults, whether the victim wants to prosecute or not. Not so with run of the mill assaults from fights. If a regular assault victim wants to drop charges or refuse to press charges, they can. In the domestic cases, that is not the case.
