Earlier this week, the Oklahoma House took a vote on House Bill 1976.

If passed and signed into law, it would have given the Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety – a rubber-stamp appointee of Governor Stitt – broad powers to "investigate" anyone they "reasonably" believed to be "engaged in terrorism, threats to public safety, organized crime, criminal conspiracies, or any other threats of violent crime."

You know, dangerous people like transgender athletes, public school teachers, and, uhm, OSU parking enforcement officials.
