Why are so many in law enforcement given special rules to follow? They should be treated exactly the same as every other citizen. If I can't, they can't.

I support Judges being able to testify in criminal cases if they are privy to firsthand knowledge pertaining to said criminal cases to protect citizens from outside jurisdiction so long as it remains within code of conduct of pre existing rights, reaponsibilities, and protections under the Constitution, state constitution, & Bill of rights, & pertain to common sense practices in good moral standing.

I strongly support this bill. The only people who should be making decisions regarding their children's' health / immunization are the parents or legal guardians. Thank you for supporting this bill.
