Among the most common reasons for a car chase is possession of a stolen motor vehicle, a crime which Dean said has risen by around 300% in the past 10 years. “Not the perpetrator, not a suspect, but them.”Īmendments to the law surrounding those attempting to elude police officers stood out most to Andy Dean, of the Kansas Highway Patrol. “Can you imagine being a victim - particularly a child - to have the courage to come forward and admit what happened to them and when they come forward, they’re forced to have a psychological evaluation?” Thompson said. Todd Thompson, of the Kansas County and District Attorneys Association, called the removal of the misogynistic law allowing the order of psychiatric exams a long-overdue move that took significant steps in protecting victims. Kelly officially approved the bill weeks later. The law passed the House 118 to 3 before clearing the Senate unanimously in early May.
SEXUAL EXTORTION CODE
Those in attendance praised the measure for bringing Kansas criminal code into the 21st century. Kelly was joined by fellow legislators, law enforcement and legal authorities at the Capitol in Topeka for a ceremonial signing of the bill Thursday. “Thankfully, we can say time’s up for the spousal exception to sexual battery.” “No matter what the original authors of this statute might have thought at the time, marriage should never have been used to inflict harm on a partner,” Kelly said. She pointed to the loophole previously in law that prevented spouses from being charged with sexual battery. Legislation like this should serve as a reminder to lawmakers that review of past laws and their merit in the present day is critical, said Gov. The law amends when a person can be tried in Kansas, prohibits a court from ordering a victim of a crime to undergo a psychological evaluation, and amends law for those fleeing from a police officer, in addition to the extortion and battery provisions.
