Crooked cops to face tougher time


Crooked cops to face tougher time

by DAVID AGREN

The News

Lawmakers in the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday approved criminal code changes that will toughen punishments of police officers found to be in the employ of organized crime.

"The idea of this package of reforms is to punish, in the most severe way, those who would not only deal with criminals, but also traitors," said Justice Committee president and Institutional Revolutionary Party Deputy César Camacho Quiroz.

The National Security System Law also passed the Chamber by a 335-39 margin. The law creates oversight bodies that will scrutinize the nation's police forces in a bid to root out corruption, promote crime prevention and better control information. The Public Security Committee's president, PRI Deputy Francisco Rivera Bedoya, told reporters the new law also establishes a National Security Council to be overseen by President Felipe Calderón.

Both bills will now go to the Senate for approval. The new laws are part of a series of recent security proposals. Laws still being discussed include proposals for making changes to policing, going after the assets of organized crime and the ability to better prosecute kidnappings.

A new registry for cellular phone users was also approved Thursday to combat telephone extortion. And progress was made on presenting a new law for prosecuting kidnapping cases, as the Constitution Committee in the Chamber agreed on modifications to Section 73 of the Constitution to allow Congress to better craft laws to combat kidnapping.

Constitution Committee president Raymundo Cárdenas Hernández said the changes would end the ability of organized crime groups to win "amparos," or injunctions, "through an inexact legal framework."

Sound promising....but, when the economics of being a law person is what it is.....it may be a long road between new law and any material change in current behavior.
