The TAPS Act of 2019 - Big Brother getting bigger

This is bipartisan. Those who think we're getting squeezed by just the left or right had better start waking up. We're entering Minority Report territory under the pretense of wanting to save lives. And people are just about numbed up enough to accept it.

H.R. 838, the Threat Assessment Prevention, and Safety (TAPS) Act

Whether it’s a shooting, stabbing, weaponized vehicle, or bombing, mass casualty events are occurring too often. These horrific tragedies are impacting our nation indiscriminately. Americans want a solution – I believe we’ve found one.

For decades, a process to identify, investigate, assess, and mitigate threats has been in place to counter targeted violence. Pioneered by the U.S. Secret Service, behavioral threat assessment and management has proven successful in protecting our presidents and foreign dignitaries. If this process works to protect the president, elected officials, foreign dignitaries, and even celebrities, why aren’t we using it to protect our children and local communities?


The TAPS Act:

• Will identify a behavioral threat assessment and management process that can be adapted and used across the nation while recognizing the unique needs of different communities

• Will provide States the training, resources, and support needed to stand up community-based, multidisciplinary behavioral threat assessment and management units

• Recognizes that the behavioral threat assessment and management concept should become part of the culture and fabric of contemporary law enforcement

• Urges that this is a matter of national security – if we act now and work together, we can save lives

This sounds interesting, but I see loopholes and problematic situations.

There's no mention of the border in the bill

Sounds nice and fluffy doesn't it. Lets do it 'for the children'.

Everyone will be profiled. This opens the door for it. This country has been moving toward this since 9/11 and people are becoming numb enough to accept it.

Notice the core problems of violence aren't addressed and likely never will be.
