Mike Johnston on Crime |
He had a record-breaking fundraising period, with at least $625,000 for the first quarter of 2017. He's vowed not to accept money from political action committees (PACs).
The more people dig, the more they'll find I have a consistent record of these kinds of big ideas with unusual coalitions in all parts of legislation. Even here in the daily activity of our community office--it's not a bill that you have to pass, but we've brought together folks for real transformation, to help work toward a solution that works for this neighborhood. Most people don't build coalitions like this or, I think, get results like this.
[Mike has] drafted a bill, which will require additional reporting transparency about police incidents while providing additional funding for community policing efforts.
A court shall expunge the arrest and criminal records information of a person who was arrested as a result of mistaken identity, and who did not have charges filed against him or her, within ninety days of an investigation that finds that a person was arrested as a result of mistaken identity and no charges were filed. The law enforcement agency that made the arrest shall petition the district court, in the judicial district where the person was arrested, for an expungement order for the arrest and criminal records information made as a result of the mistaken identity, at no cost to the person arrested.
Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 3/31/2016; Mike Johnston co-sponsored bill; Gov Hickenlooper signed it 6/10/2016
