FT 3-06: Transparency in Law Enforcement Act

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

My thanks to the Speaker.

The express intent of this legislation is to alleviate the haze of mutual suspicion that has lately typified relations between law enforcement and the public by a two-fold process: first, by collecting and archiving 'round-the-clock footage of all actions by uniformed police via a program of force-wide badge cameras; second, by instituting a fair and objective process for investigating allegations of police misconduct. I wish to be very plain on one point: this bill is in no way an effort to punish or otherwise pillory our region's police officers, the overwhelming majority of whom do their jobs with tremendous courtesy and dedication. It is, rather, intended to ensure that innocent officers are not falsely accused of actions they did not commit, and that those who do stray across the line are swiftly and fairly dealt with.

I will make an application to the Game Moderator's office with regard to the sum of appropriations under Section 2(ii); in the mean time, I encourage the House to bring forward their questions and concerns.
