The Justice in Policing Act of 2020 (H.R. 7120) would address longstanding structural racism and the need for accountability in American law enforcement, banning chokeholds, expanding use of body cameras, ending racial profiling, demilitarizing our police forces and ending no-knock warrants. This bill has the potential to create a fairer, more equitable justice system. While not perfect, this bill is an important first step in taking overdue action to redesign policing to address the lack of accountability and systemic racism that continues to plague our nation. This bill passed the House on June 25, 2020.
