Texas: The Issue Is - State Rep. Anchia on toughening penalties for cutting off ankle monitors
Bills filed by State Rep. Rafael Anchia (D-Dallas), create a felony offense to remove an electronic ankle monitor, would require hospitals to be notified if a violent criminal is being allowed on campus and would make the assault of a hospital worker a 3rd-degree felony. Anchia spoke with FOX 4 Dallas's about the bipartisan push to make the penalty tougher for criminals who cut off their ankle monitors.
