This bill is a disaster! It's going to let dangerous criminals roam the streets without any consequences. It's putting our communities at risk and making it easier for criminals to get away with their crimes. Who benefits from this? Certainly not the law-abiding citizens who just want to feel safe in their own neighborhoods.
