Landmark Bill to Ban Extreme Masking By Local & Federal Law Enforcement Heads To the Governor | Senator Scott Wiener

Where are the protections for law-enforcement? This bill looks at making laws because the police are doing something bad or evil. Wearing masks is a way to protect the identity of the police officers so that their family and home are not placed in jeopardy.

There should be provisions to make attacks on law-enforcement, especially when law-enforcement is off duty, with their family, or at their residences a felony. There should also be provisions for forensic follow up for investigations on threats against law-enforcement officers.

Protests at police officers homes should be prohibited. There’s no reason to protest at a police officer’s home. Any protests against police should be conducted at the police department or local government municipality building.

Many times the officer is fulfilling the mission of the police department and it’s not an individual officer’s choice. It is policy and procedure of the police department. Therefore, individual officers should be left alone. there should be aggravating circumstances if persons harass or protest police officers at the residence or during their personal lives.

No Secret Police Act (SB 627) is the first of dozens of proposals at the local, state, and federal level to unmask law enforcement officers acting with impunity.
