A new state law aims to improve interactions between law enforcement and people with developmental or psychological disabilities. The Persons with Disabilities Registry, known as the "Protect Our Loved Ones" Act, went into effect on Monday. The new law allows law enforcement agencies to create a database of people with special needs. One Wesley Chapel family said it's an initiative that will give them peace of mind. Christine and Bob Poe have 18-year-old twin sons, Ethan and Evan, who are both on the autism spectrum. While the twins excel in many areas, they say effective communication is a weak point. "They don't have filters, so they will just say what they want to say, even if it's not appropriate," Christine explained. "Ethan is very blunt, so he can come across as very abrasive," Bob added. Those traits, their parents fear, could be perceived as disrespectful if their sons were ever to encounter law enforcement. "We don't know how the police would react to them. I think that's the thing. I know that my boys would be respectful in their heads. They would not do something like that. But the way that they respond could be taken the wrong way. That's scary," Bob said. The Poe family believes the "Protect Our Loved Ones" Act, allowing for databases for people with psychological or developmental disabilities, will be an asset to law enforcement.
