Show Notes
Alabama lawmakers propose Senate Bill 293, creating a 25-foot buffer zone around police and first responders. Interfering could lead to a Class A misdemeanor charge, punishable by up to one year in jail. The bill, sponsored by Senator April Weaver, aims to maintain safety during tense situations like protests. Law enforcement supports it, but civil liberties groups argue it infringes on First Amendment rights. Similar laws have faced legal challenges elsewhere, and the bills fate in the full Senate remains uncertain.
