An Illinois state legislator wants to strip law enforcement of a tool that has helped detectives solve murders, robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults.
“People cannot manufacture or spread fake content, try to destroy someone’s livelihood, and then expect to walk away without accountability," said attorney Joe Giamanco.
Illinois banned state, county and local law enforcement agencies from enforcing traffic ticket and arrest quotas in 2015, but many departments are still forcing officers to meet a set number of traffic stops and citations each month.
As "cliché as it sounds," McLean County State's Attorney Erika Reynolds said she always knew she wanted to practice law.
The Illinois Supreme Court ruled state wage law does not include certain federal exclusions.
