Congressman George Allen, RVa., voted to defeat the so-called 1991 “Crime Bill,” and in a speech on the House floor labeled the measure, “the Criminal Relief Act of 1991.”

Allen continued, “In addition, the legislation would not allow incriminating evidence to be admissible in court, even if the evidence was obtained in ‘good faith’ and a crime had clearly been committed.”
