Please let me know with a clear yes or no, on the record, to four questions: will you support a ban on police deception in interrogations of juveniles and people with developmental disabilities, will you support a criminal conviction requirement before forfeiture, will you support removing qualified immunity as a defense under state law, and will you support a statutory duty for officers to intervene and report when a fellow officer uses excessive force. Ten states have banned law enforcement intentionally misleading minors, and Illinois went a step further and added protections for individuals intellectual disabilities, at least four states require a conviction before forfeiture, two have removed the immunity defense, and at least a dozen require intervention, which means every legislature in the country still has at least one of the four left to pass, and it might as well start with ours.
