SACRAMENTO – Assemblyman Tom Lackey (R-Palmdale) and Assembly Republicans blast Senate Bill 627, calling it a reckless proposal that exposes peace officers and their children to real-world dangers.
“This bill won’t promote accountability – it will promote harassment, intimidation, and violence,” said Assemblyman Lackey, a retired CHP Sergeant. “It puts a target on every officer’s back – both on and off the job.”
In their letter, lawmakers warn that this proposal would open the door for officers – their spouses – and their children – to be assaulted and threatened in their own homes.
Assembly Republicans are urging the rejection of SB 627 – demanding that the Legislature choose safety over politics, and protect both law enforcement families and peaceful protestors.
This bill is not just bad policy – it is a threat to our public servants. Our peace officers deserve better.
