Tenth Amendment Center: Medical Firearm “Silencers” in Missouri? New Bill Sets the Stage

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center JEFFERSON CITY , Mo. (Jan. 7, 2018) – A bill prefiled in the Missouri House would allow people with a medical waiver to possess firearm sound suppressors, partially nullifying some federal regulations in practice and effect. Rep. Ron Hicks (R-Dardenne Prairie) filed House Bill 302 ( HB302 ) on Dec. 18. Under the proposed law, persons with significant hearing loss could legally possess a firearm sound suppressor, commonly referred to as a silencer. Any person with a written certificate from a licensed medical doctor, otologist, or neurotologist attesting that the person has significant hearing loss and that a firearm silencer would be beneficial to preserve the person’s remaining hearing could legally possess a firearm sound suppressor under state law.

Dan Baum chronicled the evolution of these multi-jurisdictional police forces in his book, Smoke and Mirrors: The War on Drugs and the Politics of Failure . Radley Balko summarized Baum’s description of the origins of these task forces in a Washington Post article writing, “Nixon wanted ‘strike forces’ that could kick down doors and put the fear of God into drug offenders without burdensome hurdles like the Fourth Amendment or the separation of powers.” Initially, many ...

Tenth Amendment Center: Rhode Island Bill Would Limit ALPR Use, Help Block National License Plate Tracking Program

Image
...from Tenth Amendment Center PROVIDENCE , R.I. (Jan. 10, 2019) – A bill introduced in the Rhode Island House would prohibit “roadway surveillance,” including the use of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) without a warrant in most situations. Passage into law would also place significant roadblocks in the way of a federal program using states to help track the location of millions of everyday people through pictures of their license plates. A coalition of four Democrats introduced House Bill 5042 ( H5042 ) on Jan. 9. The legislation would prohibit “roadway surveillance” and bar police from using  ALPRs   unless “undertaken by law enforcement in the investigation of a particular violation, misdemeanor, or felony pursuant to a warrant or court order based on probable cause.” H5402 defines “roadway surveillance” as: “The act of determining the ownership of a motor vehicle or the identity of a motor vehicle’s occupants on the public roadways of the stat...
