Houston City Council is set to decide on placing two policing issues on the November ballot. The proposals aim to amend the city charter, affecting the Houston Police Department's enforcement priorities.
The measures would make low-level marijuana possession the lowest priority and ban no-knock warrants. These proposals were added to the council agenda after a significant number of signatures were collected.
Further details on the proposals, known as the Houston Freedom Act, are available from the source, including the efforts of the organization that led the signature drive, Ground Game Texas.
