Illinois MPs pushing the law of law to legalize attacks on police officers by those with episodes of mental health
MP Illinois presented a bill for a law that critics say it will make it legal for those who have experienced an episode of mental health to attack cops.
Democratic state Ambassador Lisa Davis, a lawyer at the law office of the Cook District Public Defender, presented the proposal for the House Act 3458 in February.
According to the conditions of legislation, the bill of law “[provide] That the defense was worse’s battery when an individual beaten up by a peace officer and an officer responded to an incident in which the officer communicated with a person who was a reasonable officer could believe that he had an episode of mental health and the person with whom the clerk communicated had documented mental illness and acted abruptly. “

The account picked up two sponsors, tail. Marcus Evans and Kelly Cassidy.
Currently a person in Illinois may be charged worse battery If they attack “an individual who knows that the peace officer, a community police volunteer, a firefighter, a private security officer, an employee for a remedial institution or an employee of the Human Services Department who monitors or control sexually dangerous persons or sexually violent persons.”

“If this passes, a mental illness will be an excuse to attack and beat police officers,” the blog said. “In fact, who wants to bet that there will be thousands of people who suddenly have a doctor’s notes who allow them to attack police officers?”
Davis’s proposal would legalize the attacks to peace officers. The other first liability would be spared, like firefighters, like her husband, CWB Chicago reported.
The proposal of the law was sent to the Committee for the Rules on the General Assembly of Illinois, where unparalleled legislation died, the news report states.
