Preventing Authoritarian Policing Tactics on America’s Streets Act
This bill restricts federal law enforcement's use during protests by requiring officers to visibly display their agency and name or rank during crowd control, riot control, or arrests at demonstrations. It limits federal involvement to Federal property or immediate adjacent areas (sidewalks/public streets), with exceptions for written state/local requests or when the Insurrection Act is invoked. The bill also prohibits unmarked vehicles for civilian arrests and mandates public websites publish deployment details within 24 hours, including locations of detained individuals. It makes arrests unlawful if officers violate these identification or location rules. The bill directly affects federal law enforcement officers and military personnel responding to public demonstrations.
