Idea Title: Civil Rights Investigations and civil rights reforms
Idea:
I would put out “bounties” for unedited video evidence of civil rights violations. I would also send investigators at random to audit police files both in the inner city and in the rural areas. uncover the rot where people don’t have the money to fight police misconduct. Criteria for grants would be tiered. those without consent decrees being filed in fifteen years are eligible for full grants and equipment. those with use of force or other civil rights issues can only get training and surveillance equipment. no guns, or armored vehicles. grant recipients can only have one percent of their force on their state’s brady list. grants that are currently based on arrests, are changed to convictions, to make the investigation the important part.
