Additionally, banning no-knock and reverse warrants.

Reforming probation by ending incarceration for technicalviolations, enabling the customization of probation conditions to individual needs, requiring collecting and publishing dataon probation and people on probation, investing in community-based reentry programs, and eliminating probation for minorconvictions.
