From my local police department, I-1639 is Illegal and unenforceable as written.
I went in to get the legal definition of "Secure" from a law enforcement PoV. (Point of View)
There isn't one.
First off I-1639 addresses 3 legal topics that are legally definable as different. An initiative may only address 1, ONE topic.
Secondly, Secure is not definable making 1639 unenforceable.
Secure, can be locking your front door, you have a legal expectation of security through the use of the lock on your door. REMEMBER we have legally binding signs, that say "Secure your valuables, lock your doors" Take alook around many parking lots that hand those signs... those are there to legally protect the owners of the lots.
Secure can be the expectation of the privacy of your bedroom.
Secure can be a lock.... Lock on a glass cabinet, a red plastic screw lock... etc
Secure is not defined and therefore makes the initiative unenforceable...
Both these points and other legal avenues I am sure are being addressed legally by other better versed persons and organizations.
