TFTC on Nostr: The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest law enforcement organization in the ...

The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest law enforcement organization in the country with 382,000 members, now officially endorses the CLARITY Act, a complete reversal from two months ago when they "strongly opposed" the bill's developer safe harbor provision.

The updated draft added a dedicated law enforcement section with increased funding for state and local crypto investigations, blockchain analytics tools, training programs for cops and prosecutors, a new "cyber center," and a requirement for stablecoin issuers to comply with lawful orders to freeze, seize, burn, or reissue tokens.

The BRCA developer safe harbor reportedly survived intact. But the trade-off was handing law enforcement a funded surveillance upgrade that didn't exist before this bill.

Worth watching what "blockchain analytics tools" and "cyber center" look like in practice.
