While I appreciate Ms. May's intervention and rationale behind it, I respectfully won't be supporting the amendment because I do think it is important for police officers on the ground, who have the full context of each and every case coming before them, to use their best discretion in making these determinations. This takes away that discretion that they're exercising their best judgment when presented with the circumstances of the individual before them, so I think it's better to leave it with their discretion. Therefore, I won't be supporting the amendment.
