 America's 'most dangerous law' goes into effect

Illinois law enforcement is preparing new ways to best serve and protect law-abiding citizens as the state’s new sweeping criminal justice reform bill takes effect Sunday, a local sheriff said. 

"We've spent a lot of time trying to prepare for what's coming," Franklin County Sheriff Kevin Bacon told Fox News. "Trying to sift through a thousand pages to determine where our role is and what's going to change and how we can best serve the citizens that we protect has been first and foremost for us."

Illinois' Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today (SAFE-T) Act, which went into effect Jan. 1, overhauled Illinois' justice system with provisions like limiting when defendants can be deemed flight risks and allowing defendants under electronic monitoring to leave home for 48 hours before they can be charged with escape. It was also supposed to eliminate cash bail, but the state's Supreme Court stayed that portion hours before the law was set to take effect.

ILLINOIS SHERIFF REACTS TO SAFE-T ACT: WATCH HERE

JUDGE RULES ILLINOIS LAW ELIMINATING CASH BAIL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

"Today’s ruling affirms that we are still a government of the people, and that the Constitutional protections afforded to the citizens of Illinois – most importantly the right to exercise our voice with our vote – are inalienable," Kankakee County State Attorney Jim Rowe, one of the lead plaintiffs in the suit, said in a statement.

Saturday, hours before the bill took effect, Illinois' high court halted the elimination of the cash bail entirely as the state appeals the decision, though the rest of the bill remains in effect.

The SAFE-T Act also dropped trespassing from a Class A misdemeanor to Class B. As result, police won't be able to arrest non-violent trespassers and can instead only issue them a citation. 

"If someone's trespassing on your property, we're going to remove them from your property," Bacon said. "Maybe we can't arrest them, maybe we can't place them in the county jail, but we're not going to leave them there."
