Criticism mounts ahead of full implementation of Illinois 'anti-police bill,' which keep criminals and perverts on the streets On Tuesday, after a weekend in which over 50 people were shot in Chicago, Republican candidate for Illinois governor Darren Bailey suggested that things in the state were about to get much worse.
Bailey, currently an Illinois state senator, held a press conference in Springfield with county sheriffs from around the state. He pointed out that the so-called SAFE-T ("Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today") Act, which largely goes into effect on January 1, 2023, has already proven counter-productive and in full force will exacerbate conditions in cities like Chicago, which Bailey has previously characterized as a "hellhole."
The SAFE-T Act, signed into law by Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker on January 22, 2021, abolishes cash bail, prevents police from detaining a suspect on the basis of a risk assessment, and gives felons sentenced to home detention far greater latitude.
Ed Wojcicki, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police executive director, called it an "anti-police bill."..............
