No amendments to this ill planned law will make it better. If enacted there will be chaos in the court systems and police agencies throughout the state. Many counties are not equipped with the staff to comply, many police agencies do not have the funding to follow the requirements about body cameras where data storage can be very expensive. The public will suffer as courts systems try to comply and many violent criminals will be released while will seek revenge on the victims/witnesses involved. A person getting arrested that faces no consequences has no reason to change their behavior.
