CHICAGO (CBS) — Members of city council are pushing for stricter search warrant reforms with a new city ordinance named after Anjanette Young, the innocent social worker wrongly raided by Chicago Police officers. The ordinance will be introduced to council Wednesday morning. If passed, it would become city law. It would also force CPD to add the reforms and accountability measures to its policy. The ordinance is sponsored by five council members: Maria Hadden (49th), Sophia King (4th), Jeanette Taylor (20th), Stephanie Coleman (16th), and Leslie Hairston (5th).
