Why would they need any standards if they are not allowed to do anything but stand there ?The cops have to go with the flow when the laws change like it or not. The victims will suffer, but the politicians are in it for the votes and the money under the table.
I predict the senior officers will ride out the rest of their time responding only when they’re called and doing the bare minimum till retirement. Proactive law enforcement statistics will drop and crime statistics will rise.
Thanks to the politicians victims will suffer and replacing vacant positions in the departments will become more and more difficult. The departments will have to lower qualification standards for anyone to apply.
