Assembly bill 1953 Peace officers: civilian complaints. Law requires every department/agency that uses police officer to have a system in order to investigate the complaints that civilians file towards the peace officers. So basically be able to create a technique where it facilitates the civilians to file a complaint and after for the department to do a full investigation toward the allegation from the civilian. An existing law makes it a crime for civilian to file a complaint that is false. Moreover, it is required that the law agency enforcement where civilians go to file their complaint make sure that the civilian reads and sign that he/she acknowledge that the allegation is true and understands the …show more content…
Some respondents believed that once they complained, they would hear no more of the matter. A small number were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the amount of advice and updates the C&D department gave them; however, many felt frustrated with the lack of information on their case”. So when a civilian files a complaint they are not treated properly therefore either not going through the whole process of actually filing the complaint because of how they are being treated. Others think that they would not hear back from the agency or the department which then leads to civilians not filing a complaint. So in other words it benefits more the actual police department/agency than the civilians because the first step of filing a complaint would determine whether a civilian goes forward with the allegation or not. Therefore, the police department/agency would not have to make a report making peace officer look good instead of having civilians have a better perspective towards filing a complaint so they can feel satisfied and not threatened.

This sends a message to everyone that if you commit a violent crime there is a consequence and hopefully with this new law it lowers crime rate. Lollar (2014) states that “many states decline to allow offenders who have not paid their restitution to register to vote, participate on a jury, or run for office-based on a finding that a failure to pay equates to a failure to complete the criminal sentence”. So by doing so it restricts those offenders to reinstate themselves back into the community. The section I like is where it says that if the person who is convicted has property or money it would be taken away in order to pay restitution to the victim for the full amount of economic loss. Those who are going to be released and have a remaining balance still need to pay it
