DeWitt County Sheriff Mike Walker says last week's Illinois Supreme Court decision regarding the 'Safe-T Act' to uphold the legislation and eliminate cash bail was not surprising.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Sheriff Walker told Regional Radio this bill will be fully implemented in less than two months but there are so many questions associated with it.

Some may argue the amendment to the bill by not giving the option of cash bail to those accused of certain crimes made the bill better but the Sheriff contends there is even some grey area there.

The Sheriff says it is disappointing they aren't going to be able to do much for the victims of these crimes - especially business owners who count on the police to make sure perpetrators don't return to commit more crimes in their business.

Sheriff Walker indicates the community is concerned about this legislation for fear of deterioration of public safety. Additionally, the legislation is causing a mass exodus of police officers across the state.
