Illinois becomes first state to end cash bail as part of criminal justice reform law

>The law also encompasses of some of the most extensive police reforms, including a requirement that all police officers wear body cameras by 2025, a ban on all police chokeholds, new guidelines for "decertification" of police officers, and statewide standards and services for officers to receive regular confidential mental health screenings and assistance. >Under HB 3653, police departments are also prohibited from purchasing certain military equipment, such as firearms and ammunition of .50-caliber or higher and tracked armored vehicles. >Detainee rights have also been expanded to include the right to make three free phone calls within three hours of arrival at the police station and before questioning occurs, and the ability to retrieve phone numbers contained in their cellphone’s contact list prior to the phone being placed in inventory. doesn't sound as crazy to me as their lobbyists make it out to be though i dont think it will improve the crime rate any or end complaints.
