This is silly. They should create a new set of task forces, and have them run around the country arresting the first set of task forces and sending them to jail.

Maybe we could even have gunfights and car crashes.....

It really bothers me that I agree with her and the rest of the knuckleheads on this...

As I look at the group sponsoring this bill I seem to see a lot of folks from States and Districts that have a BIIIIIG Drug problem. The ACLU, NAACP, Black Police Association , La Raza. The same folks who's constituents have a large p[opulation of folks in jail for drug dealing. It looks kind of like a bill to keep drug dealers out of jail. Now I am not in favor of innocent people being railroaded into jail by false testimony but I also feel maybe they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

I wonder who paid SJL for this? Because there are not a lot of votes to be had from "wrongly convicted: drug dealers.

Don't let the SJL you see on TV fool you. Like most people in Congress SJL is basically on ebay when it comes to what she does in Washington. When it comes to $$$ she's neither liberal or conservative. She's just available to the highest bidder.

I agreed until I got to the part about basically saying if the only evidence is testimony of a law enforcement officer, there should be no case. That bothers me. If law enforcement officers are committing perjury, prosecute them. But to say we won't consider testimony of an honorable officer to be compelling evidence bothers me.

Besides, if the problem is crooked cops, what makes anyone think they won't plant evidence and/or have multiple crooked cops substantiate false accusations?

I am plumb stunned, shocked and amazed... Something that makes sense. One small step on the way to reining in the thugs!

Rangel's welcoming of Castro to New York recently was probably a reflection of Rangel's urges to decriminalize criminals, to welcome in the new realm of drugs fer all!

I wouldn't be surprised, is all I'm saying, given the news in this article and Rangel's display of eager affections at seeing Castro on American soil.

It'll never pass, too many LEO's depend on that money to operate. Watch for opposition from the Faternal Order Of Police, among other groups.

"After dozens of people were falsely imprisoned for several years in Texas because of false allegations"

The majority confessed. Those that didn't were tried in a court of law and found guilty by a jury of their peers.

No one, repeat, no one, was imprisoned due to false allegations.
