the governor of California just signed 8 laws that crack down on police that commit crimes, break laws, hide behind union representation to keep their job, and other disgusting police behavior

Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a host of reform bills that span from decertifying police officers from ever getting another job to opening up records when there has been sustained findings of racism. Other new laws open up records, put stricter laws into place when tear gas can be used and forbids the use of traditional face-down holds that cause "positional asphyxia."

SB 2, by Senator Steven Bradford, permanently strips away the badges of officers found to have committed serious misconduct and ending what author Democratic Sen. Steven Bradford called the "wash, rinse and repeat cycle" of officers moving from department to department even if they have a questionable history. 

Forty six states already have this law, which prevents officers from getting hired anywhere else, much like if a doctor loses is medical license.

Now, state regulators from the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training can revoke the licenses of officers who commit "serious misconduct," including using excessive force, committing sexual assault, displaying bias and participating in a law enforcement gang.

SB 16 by Senator Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) – Peace officers: release of records. This increases the transparency of peace officer misconduct records pertaining to findings of unreasonable or excessive use of force, discriminatory or prejudiced behavior, failure to intervene when witnessing excessive use of force by a peace officer, or participation in unlawful searches and arrests.

SB 16 would expand her landmark police transparency bill by making pubic records on officers who have engaged in biased or discriminatory behavior, conducted unlawful arrests or searches, or used force that is excessive or unreasonable. For example, records in the Oakland Police Department's racist and misogynist Instagram scandal must now be made public by January 2023. SB 16 also opens access to records on officers who failed to intervene when another officer used unreasonable or excessive force and ensures that officers with a history of misconduct can’t just quit their jobs, keep their records secret, and move on to continue bad behavior in another jurisdiction.
