The Oak Lawn mayor has become the latest suburban official to denounce the SAFE-T Act.
The initiative is an agreement with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that would make two Orland Park police officers part-time ATF agents, Pekau said.
This would allow the local officers to take applicable cases directly to the Assistant U.S. Attorney. The mayor of Tinley Park also fired on all cylinders against the SAFE-T Act in a YouTube video released earlier this week."The name of this act is an absolute joke. Because the only people it keeps safe are the multitude of criminals it protects. This act and the legislators who passed it … have completely abandoned the people of Illinois and the police officers who serve them in favor of thieves and murderers," said Mayor Michael Glotz.
Those in support of the law, however, say it’s wrong to keep people in jail simply because they can’t afford bail. The new law says when a suspect is accused, the court will hold a hearing and may keep them behind bars if they are charged with a forcible felony, including second-degree murder.DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
