I need to see the specifics here - the article is too vague to make an informed opinion.

Although tossing out the law on the basis of “they can’t defend themselves” is specious.

I agree. The article provides no detail as to what exactly might parts of the law in question either are, or may be, unconstitutional

I heartily support any constitutionally correct law which help fight criminal gang activity, but our legislators and law enforcement do not exactly have a great record of finding the “sweet spot” in law and policy where constitutional rights are protected, but law enforcement are given tools to fight against these a$$hats.

As much as we might want to simply unleash the cops to “take care of them”, no one wants to be on the wrong end of a law that can’t pass 4th Amendment muster.

Issues like this are one of the challenges of living in and maintaining a free society.
