Charlotte Police Department Considers Banning People From Certain Neighborhoods If They’ve Been Arrested
Police would designate the restricted areas — generally high-crime areas — as “public safety zones,” and bar those who had previously been arrested in the areas from entering.
Former arrestees would face misdemeanor charges if they entered the restricted areas, the Charlotte Observer reports. To qualify for a ban, you don’t need to have been tried, convicted or incarcerated for a crime, just simply arrested.
The MIC Reports:
Under the proposed rule, police could designate public safety zones in response to activities like drug sales and weapon discharges. They could then send notifications to people who had been arrested in these areas previously, and ban them from entry as long as the area remained designated as such.
The bans “could be appealed” by people picking up children from school or going to work in the zones, according to the Charlotte Observer.
