Change the Law: Sarah Bland Discloure Law


     Brimingwith is concerned about the erosion of democracy particularly as it relates to police action and actions of the accused. Telling the accused why they are being arrested or detained is good sense practice  to defuse a situation allowing the police person and the accused to focus on the statute as opposed to the participants.

Title of Bill: Sandra Bland  Why Law

  1. During a traffic stop or any stop by police persons resulting in an up-charge for example a transition from a written warning to a felony, the police person should tell the civilian why they are being detained or arrested. Not only should they tell the civilian why, but they should also cite the statute for which they are being arrested or detained and provide an evidence statement. The accused is also read the Miranda statement.  The entire transaction is recorded.
