Kevin Schmidt: SAFE-T Act will take cops off the street and force them to do paperwork instead

Kevin Schmidt, Candidate for State Representative in the 114th District has released a statement on the paperwork the SAFE-T Act will require of police officers.

“Instead of patrolling the streets and keeping Illinois families safe, police officers may be buried in paperwork thanks to the LaToya Greenwood-backed SAFE-T Act. Under the act, which takes effect next year, officers arresting someone for a crime may be looking at 6-8 hours of paperwork for that one arrest. Officers should be on the streets not in an office filling out paperwork. We need to repeal the LaToya Greenwood-backed SAFE-T Act and we need to do it now.”- Kevin Schmidt, Candidate for State Representative in the 114th District.
