Bill > SB6009

This bill prohibits the use of "hog-tying" by law enforcement officers in the state of Washington. Hog-tying is defined as the practice of fastening together a person's bound or restrained ankles to their bound or restrained wrists. The bill deems hog-tying to be a use of excessive force, and requires officers to use alternative restraint methods that do not violate the prohibition on hog-tying. The bill also emphasizes the importance of law enforcement using modern, humane tactics that comply with state standards and training to ensure public trust and accountability.
