Day 2: Research

Today I spent nearly all of the day researching the ins and outs of SB300 (the main legislation we are focusing on). In particular, I focused on 3 topics. Satellite-Based Monitoring (SBM) of sex offenders and a recent supreme court ruling pertaining to that, body camera footage, and when and when not it should be released and how vastly different procedures for releasing that footage are by state and even city. Finally, I looked into overcriminalization, something very prevalent in NC. We have one of the longest set of legal codes and people can get convicted of a misdemeanor in some places for simply letting their grass grow too high. These are all issues that are brought up in SB300 and I am looking forward to discussing this research with Prof. Markham tomorrow.
