On September 4th in Raleigh, Governor Roy Cooper has signed three criminal justice law reform bills into law that consist of: House Bill 436: Support Law Enforcement Mental Health, House Bill 536: Law Enforcement Duty to Intervene and Senate Bill 300: Criminal Justice Reform.
What are these laws meant for and who? Are these laws supposed to change behavior in certain realms?
They speak of policies, procedures, and informal action that is already in place. The real questions lies as to, “What are the consequences for violating these LAWS?” Beautifully written rhetoric that is window dressing when behavior and practice continues to go unchecked, unregulated and without consequence. I guess time will tell!! The scary reality is, do we have time to wait.
