Proposed Bills In State Legislature Focused On Punishing Misbehaving Officers CBS SF Bay Area 4 days ago Syndicated Local – CBS San Francisco SACRAMENTO (CBS SF/AP) — Bills currently before the California legislature aim at keeping misbehaving police officers in check, expanding on a bill that failed to pass last session. The bills would require law enforcement officers to obtain licenses, create a way to end their careers for misbehavior including racial bias, and make it easier to sue them for monetary damages, supporters said Tuesday. California is one of just four states without a way to decertify police officers, alongside Hawaii, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
