History

Historical Context

The 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, signed by President Bill Clinton on September 13, 1994, funded $9.7 billion for prisons and created 100,000 new police positions, tightening bail and sentencing rules. Those provisions underlie the law’s stricter bail standards that judges applied in August 2026 when Apopka officers arrested Raul Vazquez for the shooting of Daryl Hill near Wolf Lake Elementary, denying him bond.
