Scott Jensen on Crime

 

 


Increasing number of officers will restore law and order

Dr. Scott Jensen believes we need to support our law enforcement and call for violent criminals to be caught, convicted, and imprisoned. Tim Walz and out-of-touch Democrat leaders in our cities blame the police; Dr. Scott Jensen knows we need more cops, not less. He will seek to increase the number of officers, which will restore law and order to our broken cities.

Work with law enforcement, citizen soldiers for safety

The summer of 2020 brought days of rioting to our cities. Today our urban core in Minneapolis and St. Paul are less safe as liberal politicians call for defunding the police. As a leader, Dr. Scott Jensen will be there if crisis arises again. He will lead from the front and work with our law enforcement and our citizen soldiers to insure we have justice, peace, and security not only in our urban core but across our great state.

Increase penalties for blocking highways, airports, transit

HF390: Penalties for obstructing trunk highway, airport, or transit traffic increased.Veto message by Governor Mark Dayton:I do not support the broad transit provisions in this bill. The language does not provide clarity regarding the actual crimes, for which it creates stiffer penalties. I believe that the Statute's existing language: "tends to...." is unacceptably vague and subjective. Current law gives law enforcement the authority and tools needed to protect public safety.

Legislative Outcome:Passed House 83-44-7 on May/8/18; Passed Senate 40-27-0 on May/14/18; State Sen. Scott Jensen voted YES; Vetoed by Gov. Dayton on May/19/18.
