Passing an imperfect bill quickly is much better than waiting for perfection. There is no perfect bill. We've heard that quote a couple of times today. There is definitely some urgency to it.
I'd like to echo some of the comments that we get from our own police force. They're feeling a lot of frustration in a lot of cases. They're feeling the brunt of it. They typically are the ones that get blamed by the businesses. When we have town hall meetings with the police, they explain that they're being told by prosecutors in the courts, “Stop wasting my time bringing these people in, these repeat offenders.”
There's a lot of frustration within the system, so anything to kind of clear that frustration and empower the police.... I think they do want to do more. They're seeing the impact that it's having on the community. They do want to do much more about it. This bill would really help empower them to do much more.
