PLEASE VOTE NO.
The problem with this bill is that it narrows once more the guardrails under which the police must respect rights of the accused. It is extremely easy to fool a magistrate into allowing for it. One of our members had his house searched many days AFTER no evidence turned up on the flimsy excuse that "a juvenile" had noted that the accused had "showed [said juvenile] pornography' (not even CP), and that became the pretext for police to bust down the door, destroy property, and all to find ZERO evidence of even that vague and specious claim.
When the accused demanded an internal review and claimed no such juvenile ever existed, the police command in Fairfax declined to reveal an identity, or to indicate whether or not a now former juvenile existed. But, as all knows, had there been a juvenile, such juvenile would likely have been mentioned at some hearing or trial, even as a potential witness, but that was never mentioned anywhere public at any time. It was a lie.
Empowering police to act even more lawlessly protects NO ONE. VOTE NO on this bill.
