Please remove subsection 2 from HB 1635. It is an unacceptable public policy to provide immunity for the actions of police canines.
Victims need civil remedies when they are harmed by police canines. This is the opposite of police accountability.
If this provision remains in the bill, I will be actively working to oppose this bill as it moves through the Senate.
I support the remainder of the bill.
Thank you.
