Texas Constable: “We’re Not Interested in Being the Potty Police” on Bathroom Bill
The Texas Legislature recently held a hearing on House Bill 52, a companion to the Senate Bill 8, also known as the Texas Women’s Privacy Act. The bill proposes that individuals use bathrooms aligning with their birth certificate, with non-compliance leading to penalties. Despite the bill’s aim, law enforcement officials testified that the bill is unworkable and could endanger people. Supporters brought up the culture war, however, law enforcement stated the bill would not improve safety.
