Glasgow: ‘I Won’t Be Able To Protect Will Co. Under New Law’ – Patch Joliet

Because of the Safe-T-Act, Will County State's Attorney Jim Glasgow explained, there will be a 90-day requirement for criminal defendants going to trial "or they get out...Ninety days or you're out, and if you don't show up for your (eventual) trial, I can't get an arrest warrant, there's no warrant. We can't use force, and we can't call the SWAT team."
