Bill overview
This bill, the No RIOT Act of 2020, increases penalties for assaulting law enforcement officers who are participating in a riot. It specifically expands the definition of rioting to include the use of the internet – such as email and social media – to incite or participate in riots. Additionally, the bill revises the definition of racketeering to encompass crimes related to riots and the destruction of veterans' memorials. The goal is to deter violence against law enforcement and address related criminal activities.
