"Attorney General Loretta Lynch has issued a warning to municipal and state judges across the country that their courts could lose federal funding if they don’t ease up on fines and arrest warrants for minor crimes involving poor offenders, indigent minorities in particular.

In lieu of fines and jail time, Lynch urges the nation’s 6,500 municipal courts to provide an avenue for offenders to perform “community service” or take advantage of “amnesty days,” whereby outstanding arrest warrants are cleared for nominal fees."

Wow.

Just fucking wow

In another thread, I make the case (briefly) that the political Left in this country employs an unethical and illegal strategy of using the COURTS to modify the laws and Constitution, because they can never win the battles of policy based on cogent, rational arguments in the legislatures.

This is yet another example.

If the Administration believes that the various states' criminal laws dealing with what it considers "minor" offenses are destructive, then THE APPROPRIATE FORUM IN WHICH TO MAKE THIS CASE IS IN THE STATEL LEGISLATURES AND THE LOCAL COUNCILS, ETC. That is where these laws and ordinances are written. The police are sworn to uphold the law, so going after the POLICE and telling them to adjust the way they respond to law-breaking is, to coin a word, bullshit.

If the Administration thinks these laws ought to be modified, then the Justice Department could easily publish a set of guidelines and ASK the state and local legislatures to comply, making their case with facts and logic.

I'm not holding my breath until that happens.

So in other words.....

Poor white guy
Poor black guy
Middle class white guy

All 3 commit the same crime.

Feds just warned cities you BETTER not sentence the poor black guy harshly. The other 2....fuck em....but the poor black guy better get leniency.


Oh great....the Obama Regime in action

There are municipalities which are using the law and the fines to make peoples lives miserable, and charging exorbitant amounts in fines and fees, also charging fees to time pay on fines...The AG is just telling them to stop abusing the system....

 

[Compost]

Let's see, it costs money to support a legal system so fines are required when certain laws are broken, thus creating revenue. Sounds OK. It's not. Loretta doesn't think black folks should have to pay their fair share.

Oh. List them.....

 

[Iceweasel]

I'm not buying it. Although.....

I looked around and it's only on the NY Post and Infowars. It would have made bigger news than that.

On the other hand the freaking idiot wants to lock up innocent Americans for the crime of insulting a Muslem.

The AG doesn't have the authority to change laws, nor dictate how state laws are enforced.

But that **** does have the power to launch the infamous "discrimination investigation". It's the death nail for a police department because even if there is NO EVIDENCE OF discrimination....that PDs local liberal media runs wild with "City Police under Federal investigation for racism!!!!!".

So....Lynch and Obama have basically said ease up all penalties on blacks....or else.

There has to be probable cause before an investigation can be started.

And blacks getting stopped and fined IS their PC. Justified or not. No PD says "Hey look we are racist". The DOJ has to dig into it.

And they do. 99% of the time it's politically motivated as punishment for daring not obey the Feds demands. Like this one.
