The bill, which was unexpectedly attached to the fiscal 1985 funding resolution by Republicans eager to campaign on it, went into effect with the President's signature ten days ago. At first reading, some civil libertarians were concerned about infringements of constitutional guarantees. At the same tune, criminal-law experts doubted that the act would have as much impact on the crime rate as its advocates claim...
