"Florida Governor DeSantis Tightens Police Oversight and Worker Protections with Controversial New Laws"
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed two controversial bills limiting civilian oversight of police, establishing a 25-foot "no-go" zone around officers and restricting the abilities of citizen police oversight boards to investigate misconduct allegations. Critics argue that the laws hinder transparency and civilian input into police agencies, while DeSantis and supporters claim they protect law enforcement from harassment. The bills have sparked concerns about constitutional rights, with some calling the legislation vague and discretionary.
