S.B. 305, An Act Revising Statutes Governing Actions By the Police, Proactive Policing and Enhancing Recruitment Efforts

Senate Bill 305 rolls back too many needed accountability provisions and re-expands opportunities for police searches not even two years after the police accountability bill was enacted. Accordingly, the ACLU-CT strongly opposes Senate Bill 305, and urges this Committee to oppose it as well.

S.B. 306, An Act Concerning Deceptive Interrogation Tactics

Deceptive interrogation tactics used by police are unconscionable, expensive, and most harm the people whom our state has made most vulnerable: people of color, youth, and people with mental or physical disabilities. S.B. 306 would take critical steps toward ending deceptive police interrogations.
