Copied from a friend....
I hope you democrats like what’s coming to you!
WHY DIDN'T THE POLICE DO MORE??!"***
In Illinois for those of you woke people asking why the police no longer serve & protect... It's because they can't!
PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT
Governor Pritzker just signed HB3653, the “Criminal Justice Reform Bill” today. Nobody is surprised that he would sign this legislation, but there are multiple problems with this Bill. Here are some, but not all, of the lowlights to remember:
-
Officers will be mandated to wear body cams. This is something that I wholeheartedly support. However, The legislation also dictates that officers cannot view their bodycam footage before writing a report. The equivalent to this would be having a professional sports referee having instant replay available to get a call right but being told he can’t use it. The bill also creates a new crime, specifically citing that officers can be charged with a Class 3 Felony if their reports do not match their body camera video. The entire intent of this part of the bill is to make officers jobs harder, make their testimony harder and allow more offenders to be found not guilty while putting officers in a compromising situation. How many of you feel a NFL referee should face jail time for getting the wrong call ?!
-
Class B and Class C misdemeanors will now be cite-only and not arrestable offenses. Someone peeping in your window while you take a shower? Here’s a ticket and the officers leave. Someone refusing to leave your property after being told to do so? Here’s a ticket and the officers leave. Someone making hundreds of obscene phone calls to you, giving you anxiety and terrorizing your life? Here’s a ticket.
-
Removes the crime of obstructing a peace officer as a stand alone offense. If a police officer tells you to do something, a lawful order, you can now just say “nope” and do whatever it is that you want to do and law enforcement cannot arrest. It literally cuts police officers authority at the knees. This means, as just some examples, officers cannot control crime scenes if people want to walk through them, or order a husband to move from the doorway so officers can check on his wife after reports of her being battered.
-
Allows for anonymous complaints against police and dictates that all complaints will remain part of their permanent record, whether they were found guilty or not. So, a person arrested who is found not guilty can have that arrest taken off their record, but a police officer can’t have a complaint taken off?
-
It eliminates cash bail, specifically citing the presumption that all offenders will appear in court. This even applies to felonies and even serious felonies. It leaves a a requirement for the State to have to prove that an individual is dangerous to a specific person or group of people in order to be held without bond, not just dangerous to society in general, which most career criminals are.
-
It prohibits using non-lethal or less-lethal weapons on an individual's back. Remember Tasers? The device everyone always cites as the miracle tool for police being able to safely stop someone? A taser is a less-lethal device, and it is specifically designed to be fired into a person's back to prevent permanent injury, or even death, if it is fired at the front of a person, possibly striking them in the eyes, neck, breasts, or groin. This portion effectively makes it illegal for officers to use Tasers. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.
These are just a handful of things from the almost 800 page bill. With many more laws of similar confusion in it.
If some of these things sound odd to you, it's because they are. It's because no professionals in the field were included in the drafting of this bill, and it's because it was written by people who have no idea of the realities of police work. This is what happens when laws are drafted by sensationalism, and not real research and experience. And also when that law is snuck through the legislature at 4:30 in the morning, while Illinois is asleep, after it's name is changed twice in order to shake citizens off from following it's progress.
Remember this Bill the next time your senator or representative are up for election. Remember this bill when crime sky rockets. Remember this bill when we have less qualified and competent people wanting to get into law enforcement, and officers are retiring, resigning, or leaving the state.
Remember this Bill when you’re the victim of a crime, and don’t ask yourself “why didn’t the police do more?”
I propose a bill where citizens can treat politicians like the subhuman garbage they are without any consequences.
Move the hell out of there while you can. The inmates will now run the city.
You know there’s days I agree with this statement but then I think “why the fuck should I leave my home state which I was raised in simply because some commies have taken it over?” FUCK THAT. Im standing my ground. Y’all can leave if you want but know that leaving is the equivalent to waking up to your room on fire then running to the next room to fall back asleep. PUT OUT THE DAMN FIRE! The more patriots that leave the harder it will be to fix this state.
Life is short. Goes by in a flash. Peace and happiness takes precedence over spitting into the wind
Some of us do not think we come first. Pretty selfish to take the gifts that God gave you away from those that could benefit from your presence
Lol...we have discussed this....good luck, I’m selling, rent while HS kids finish, and then hello Florida!
They just flushed home value into the negative. For those who stay can now stop paying rent or for mortgage and if people decide to set up tents on the property of the brainless wonders who wrote and passed this nonsense cant do anything about is that about it, is that about right??
This is part of the communists plan. Make the people beg for government protection. Once the government comes back in to “protect” the population, most of not all, good police officers will have already moved on to a different state or occupation and the ones left will be the social justice warrior types that will have no problem with trampling on the constitution. Those jackbooted thugs will have no problem rounding people up and imprisoning them. It just won’t be the criminals deserving of it that they do it to. It will be to the people that fight back against the criminals. Get the heck out of there while you can. We can always go back and clean that place up once we get our country back and a judicial system that actually works for we the people, not corporations and politicians.
I live in Illinois (want to move to TN so bad, but I don’t have a job right now). It sounds to me like we can now go do everything in number 2 to all of the politicians that voted for this bullshit, and at most we’ll just get a ticket.
In the 60s they used to have sit Ins
I say it’s time for a shit in.
Didn't you know? If we get rid of crimes, there will be no crimes on record. Which means those high crime demographics suddenly don't commit crimes because there are no crimes on their record.
All this will do is cause Illinoisans to move to Texas or Arizona. Damn.
Illinois the new wild west. Those people have no clue what they have done. Isn't Illinois the same state that mayor Lightfoot had the police enforcing a no protest band on her block and to arrest anybody that won't leave? ??https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-chicago-police-lightfoot-home-protests-20200820-s563zjj4uzc2rcbprrruzalwaq-story.html Rut Row
Move out of liberal ran cities. That's the problem. A city in general is a smarmy center of sodomy, fornication and violence. The more people in a square area means the more sin you will be exposed to.
So if you run away, they can’t taser you.....awesome
The Mafia has not left Chicago...
They've just been replaced by the Motherfuckya.
Glad I'm the fuck out of there!
So basically anyone comitting a crime can turn and run(which they do already) and the cops cant do anything but catch up to them and hope that they comply willingly.
How they voted. https://legiscan.com/IL/rollcall/HB3653/id/987171
So Illinois will break the murder rate record at the end of 2021
Hell. They'll break the murder rate record by June!
I predict a mass exodus of not only law enforcement to other jobs in other states, but of citizens who will ultimately fall victim to such a heinous bill.
That exodus has been going for decades. Then they raised taxes on the rest to account for the escape.

Who the fuck would want to be a cop, dealing with blacks, drunks, violent assholes all the while having a bunch of democratic pussies wanting to ruin your life for simply holding society together.
Gotta be honest this is like 90% good.
I have never wanted to live in Illinois. But this even makes me more never want to live there
That's simply insane.
Illinois is GONE!
New York is in big trouble and headed the wrong direction, California is in big trouble and headed the wrong direction, Connecticut, Oregon, and other states are in a bad way, and headed the wrong direction.
BUT ILLINOIS IS ABSOLUTELY GONE!
Nobody sane can possibly choose to live or visit there anymore.
Now we just watch that motherfucker burn.
Well...
I will admit this has been discussed in earnest by me and my friends.
In other words Chiraq is about to become a lot worse.
That will all depend on the... uh, demographics... of the player the penalty was or was not call on.
Is this post a trap for people who don't understand what they're fighting for? The claim is that these things are bad but as a constitutionalist they're good. I haven't read the Bill and I'm referring to the post. You need to remember that the police aren't feelings enforcers, they're law enforcers. The mindset of the people you hate exists within the police and the things above help protect you from those officers who use their version of the law to assert their control. Good police should have no problem with anything that was called out in that post as they won't be affected by it.
This post uses the same tactics that the left uses. It's trying to invoke feelings to make a point that doesn't articulate the truth.
How is this a trap? I live in Illinois and now I feel less safe because of this bill. If I took matters into my own hands to stop someone from harassing me or my family, I would be arrested. I’d probably get slapped with a hate crime tag too. Plus whatever else they could decide to charge me with. Idk if you’ve seen the news, but they’re making examples out of people trying to defend themselves, like the McClaskeys in St. Louis, or Kyle Rittenhouse.
Being arrested for defending yourself is a separate issue. The points brought up in that post.
I think police officers not being allowed to view their own body cam footage while writing the report is a perjury trap waiting to happen. That's not fair. When ER docs lose a patient, they are allowed to refer to nurses notes and EMT notes while writing up the death report.
It is.
It's beyond sick.
I agree, I can see how this could be bad but also how it could be good. If it's primarily used as a perjury trap, then that's bad. If it's primarily used to deter police from drafting technical reports that technically depict the event but not accurately (like the MSM does) then that's good.
