Devore: SAFE-T Act Violates Bill of Rights and Separation of Powers (Chicago, IL) – In a press conference, GOP nominee for Attorney General Tom Devore delivered a damning legal analysis of Kwame Raoul and JB Pritzker’s SAFE-T Act. Devore warned that the ‘no-cash bail’ provision in the SAFE-T Act opens up Illinois courts to civil rights violations. He pointed out the purpose of bail, and the reason that it is guaranteed in the constitution, to protect the rights of the accused, since citizens accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in American courts.
