I dunno bout this bill. It sounds like it could be good for law enforcement, but who does it really help? How does it affect us regular folks? #confused

I don't think this bill is a good idea. It could lead to more police involvement in civilian tasks, which could potentially escalate situations and lead to more harm than good. I'm not sure how this will benefit our communities in the long run.
