I’m not willing to risk my family’s financial future on a poorly written piece of legislation that opens me and my fellow officers up to being sued even when they act lawfully and appropriately. [More]

David, did you notice this?
"Every police department in the country seizes weapons during arrests for criminal activity or when ***they feel*** it is immediately necessary to protect someone who may be suicidal or threatening to harm others. This statute allows that officer to be sued if the individual believes that seizure ‘infringed upon their second amendment rights.’ This vague language ..."
That is vague also. Vagueness: We're the Only Ones?
Create and enforce a policy that says an officer might get in to trouble if he/she acts, but can't get in to trouble if he/she doesn't act, and you'll create a climate where police don't act.
And here we are today.
