These people are complete losers. But they have managed to get this nonsense into the national discourse without losing votes... so they know their voters well

Oh boy, criminal justice reform is my ****. I decided to look up the details here. Gonna post some highlights and lowlights. Some things are specific and refer to other legislation and I am not looking up each and every one so just gonna post about the ones I know about.
- Prohibits federal police from using Tear gas, pepper bullets/spray, flash bangs, LRADs, Stingrays, and lasers as crowd control.
- prohibits federal police from using military grade weaponry and predictive policing software
- Ending civil asset forfeiture
- prohibits federal police from engaging in sex with a member of the public under arrest, detained, or in custody
- prohibits use of ketamine.
- decriminlizes some prostitution related laws, failure to pay child support, and skipping school
- repealing penalties for simple possession, possession with intent to distribute, and possession of certain tools
- eliminates pre trial detention for class C, D, and E felonies
- bans use of algorithm-based risk assessment tools during pretrial or sentencing
- abolish all mandatory minimum laws
- abolishing 3 strikes law
- raising the age of criminal liability to 24 - I get the idea behind this but the result would be very bad.
- ending solitary confinement
- abolishes ICE and overhauls Customs and Border Protection on enviromental protection, humanitarian aid, and border rescue.
- eliminates absolute immunity for prosecutors
- open file discovery in all criminal cases
- requires to document in writing all plea offers made in each case
- ends the use of material witness warrants on victims. To give you an idea, cops can put a rape victim in jail if they think they might not testify. Happened in my county. Put a poor girl in jail for months. Over Christmas. And they told her mom that she was in a menta health facility. Then the victim ends up punching a guard and they beat the **** out of her and the guards are mad that the victim isnt charged with a crime. Imo anyone in her situation is free to shoot her ****ing way out of that jail and leave everyone in her way dead and I wouldnt blame her one bit.
- prohibited from the use of paid informants.
With the way they name these programs some of these just read really bad. Like "repeal the Child Abuse Prevention Act and the Safe Families Act.
