LinkLinks DCist: D.C. Councilmember Focuses On Increased Penalties And Policing In Slate Of Public Safety Bills By Editor On Sep 19, 2023 Last updated Sep 19, 2023 71 Share Ward 2 D.C. councilmember Brooke Pinto unveiled a comprehensive and controversial public safety legislative plan on Monday to increase carceral penalties for violent crimes and heighten law enforcement surveillance. Pinto says it is a necessary response to rising crime but it has drawn criticism, particularly for a bill that would allow D.C. police to randomly stop or seize anyone on parole, probation, or supervised release for a gun conviction which several D.C. judges say may be unconstitutional. 71 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
