Wow what a waste of resources. Isn't all the information already accessible by the Attorney General through arrest records, reports, call sheets, and ect. through the policing agency?

The only thing this bill seems to do is instead of the Attorney General having to have someone from their office get the info, it will be delivered to the office monthly.

Also it would only require warrants served by SWAT teams be reported, not any warrants served by other teams or officers. Supposedly the bill is to make sure there is no abuse of rights or over stepping of powers but will only serve to monitor the least warrant serving division of most police aggencies.
