Crimes that Will No Longer Be Prosecuted in LA Thanks to New Far-Left DA

[initforme]

I cannot control what california nor any other state does. So therefore I don't care and if I had the power to fix it I wouldn't bother to.

Thanks to more liberal madness, if you're a criminal, you should move to Los Angeles. LA's new far-left Democratic DA just made a long list of crimes legal, i.e., those crimes will now longer be prosecuted, except in rare circumstances. What crimes? Well, believe it or not, the LA DA's office will no longer prosecute most cases of resisting arrest, disturbing the peace, trespassing, prostitution, and illegal drug possession, among other crimes. See the article for the full list.

Here's a list of crimes on LA's new DA's do-not-prosecute list | Fox News

But if you are a conservative and have to resort to self-defense in L.A....you will probably be headed for jail.

Seems to me that he is noting how the police often times harass the homeless with these charges and how a large number of homeless are mentally ill and that simply processing them through the system over and over does absolutely nothing about the issue.

I agree. Being an ex officer I am sure he is very well aware of how all of this is done.

He is telling the citizens and the politicians to deal with the actual issue and quit expecting the police to do over and over what doesn't work.

SF is a liberal mecca. The DA, citizens, politicains are all liberal and have done nothing and have no plans to do anything. Im not surprised at the amount of homeless in CA nor am I surprised at the increased lawlessness and inequity occurring out there. They don't care.

And the DA is saying you better start caring because he is no longer going to take care of their problems for them.

The DA doesn't care. The city will consume itself in lawlessness.

Would make great pay for view. Can't see it on Cops anymore since they cancelled the show.

Trespassing should be ok?

No one said it was okay... just that they don't want to prosecute it because it's a petty offense.

I get the offense level. But what happens if the person keeps repeating it over and over at or near the same place because the infraction is nil? homeless issues are a problem. And are for different reasons.

Nothing stops them now from committing it over and over. That's the D.A's point.

yes, many of the homeless are on drugs and are mentally ill and VIOLENT.....letting them run amuck is sure to create thousands of more victims including other homeless that will also attack.

I saw nowhere that he said violent crimes wouldn't be prosecuted. Could you point that part out to me?

I just explained it to you-------the mentally ill on the street tend to be violent. Why do you want to pretend that this isn't a fact.
Secondly, Broken window law---when you go after criminals for breaking windows etc, this has the added effect of also cutting down on rapes, murders, carjackings etc. You gotta nip crime in the bud---otherwise it feeds itself and gets much bigger and much more violent. LA will see huge surge in violent crimes because of this.

Of course Los Angeles will see a huge in violent crime. Everyone else has. Is there violent crime in San Francisco? That's what Gascon did. Everyplace that has these reforms has disaster. Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis has had such a surge in violent crime that they are hiring some other city's police department.

My question is how high will the shit get piled on the streets?

Yes. Absolutely. That's why Singapore has such a low crime rate and only the worst offenders in prison. Petty offenses never go to prison. They get the lash.

Absolutely true. Sending a homeless person to prison is often an upgrade. Air conditioning/heat, meals, clean bed, medical attention, etc. If I was homeless and wanted a break, I’d go commit some petty crime to get scooped up... break a window, shoplift, take a dump on the courthouse steps, etc.
If the punishment was a good ass kicking or caning, that would stop.

It would be fun to have seen Trump get caned for one of his fraud convictions.

So why have laws meant to deter these things? Trespassing, resisting arrest, prostition, etc. None of these are needed. A homeless guy can camp on your back deck. Trespassing is not a thing. Of course, thanks to lefty lawyers, he could fall from the deck while setting up his tent and he could sue you. You guys are morons.

I'm not sure why we have a lot of these laws.

Prostitution laws have always struck me as particularly silly. Something that you do for free is suddenly a crime if money changes hands?

The problem is, they are selectively enforced. They'll hassle the poor streetwalker, but if you work for an escort service or a massage parlor, they know damned well who you are and they leave you mostly alone.

The problem with a lot of these laws is that they are excuses for the cops to abuse minorities. You don't see the rich white kid who trespasses during a prank charged with a crime that ruins his life. You don't see the high-end escort charged with prostitution.

The little rich kid usually isn’t shitting in someone’s property when playing hide and seek.
And the only people busted for prostitution are people caught in the act. Kinda harder if transactions are done in the web or by ohone, as opposed to in the street corner. But again your bring up the minority shit. It’s not moniorities, it hits the poor harder. Mostly because they lack more sophisticated means of doing things (hiring escorts discretely, buying drugs discretely).
I do agree prostitution should be legal.
Here’s something to think about....
Bang a chick is legal. Give her a hundred bucks it’s note illegal. Whip out a video camera, it’s now legal again.
Go figure.

That’s very clever.
FYI, I’d be all for politicians getting beatings

You don't see the rich white kid

You have to be the most guilt-ridden person I have ever spoken with.

No guilt at all. Just someone who wants to see fairness.

Hey, personally, I'm glad the cops didn't shoot my younger brother when he engaged in all sorts of ass-hattery when he was in his late teens/early 20's. The funny thing today is he's a hard core Trump supporter who has no sense of irony.

I, on the other hand, got good grades, went to college and joined the military, and have never had any issue with the police more than a moving violation.
