[Katto]

How about:
First Offense: $2500 Fine + 10 Minutes Jail Time + Report to DHS Secretary
Subsequent Offenses: $2500 Fine + 25 Minutes Jail Time + Suspension from the DHS for up to 2 months

 

[Towloo]

How about:
First Offense: $2500 Fine + 10 Minutes Jail Time + Report to DHS Secretary
Subsequent Offenses: $2500 Fine + 25 Minutes Jail Time + Suspension from the DHS for up to 2 months

But those are way more harsh than murder, it's completely unproportional. Even the original one is way harsher than murder.

Veto

This bill has been vetoed for the following reasons: It imposes unnecessary regulations on our police officers, who already face significant challenges. The vague language in the legislation could also result in negative consequences for the commonwealth.
