Obtaining DNA Samples Of Missing Persons And Their Families
For 2021, there was an amendment to The Missing Persons Identification Act allowing law enforcement to legally obtain DNA samples of missing persons and/or from family members once a missing person’s report is made. However, one caveat to this law is obtaining DNA samples from missing persons and/or family members of missing persons get suspended once the missing person has been located and/or found.
Identity Protection Of Victims Of Stalking And Sexual Assault
Changes to The Address Confidentiality for Victims of Domestic Violence Act include protecting victims of sexual assault and stalking. The Illinois Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) offers protection and confidentiality of the address of victims of stalking and/or sexual assault victims. It allows victims to use alternative addresses in lieu of their real addresses to protect themselves from perpetrators.
In the meantime, Governor JB Pritzker is counting on President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris for a federal bailout. However, it is not set in stone Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the 2020 election fair and square. If there was fraud involved in the 2020 elections, President Donald Trump will be the President of the United States and the Pritzker counting on the federal coronavirus economic bailout will backfire.
JB Pritzker Counting On Federal Coronavirus Federal Bailout
JB Pritzker already borrowed billions of dollars from the Federal Reserve Board so Illinois can pay its bills. Pritzker plans on repaying the Federal Reserve Board on the billions Illinois has borrowed with the federal coronavirus bailout money he anticipates getting. However, there are still issues to get resolved of the 2020 election on whether or not there were elections and voter fraud. There seems to be a mountain of evidence that Joe Biden and Democrats conspired to overthrow President Trump by cheating through the dominium voting systems and fake ballots. We will cover this topic as the fraud and corruption allegations develop in the coming days. STAY TUNED.
