I suppirt SB427 for a variety of reasons and ask please that you have compassion toward those who have oaid back their debts to society and vote yes for this bill. Many thanks.

I strongly urge the legislators to vote no on this. This bill is crazy on its merits. For a person to have a 4th waiver, they must have already been convicted of a crime and almost always have a taken a plea agreement for less time in exchange for less liberties. This is only common sense. Should you pass this, there will more sex offenders getting away with crimes, more gang members getting away with crimes that include guns and selling of drugs, and just more crime in general. When I was working, the 4th waiver provided a very useful tool for police with people on probation. There were multiple instances of police performing random checks and finding sex offenders with more child porn on their phones, computers etc., instances of police catching people with pounds of drugs ready to sell to include fentanyl, and I can't tell you how many times that people were caught with guns that were not supposed to have them. If you pass this and it becomes law, there will be an increase in criminal activity, and you limit the police and probation to a point from doing their job. Don't listen to the people who claim this is racist. That is not true at all. These people do not have the best interest of the Commonwealth at heart and are just wanting to virtue signal like they are doing something when in reality they are doing nothing. Thank you for your time.
