You must be a bit innocent to think that a DA's priorities and stated goals of moving away from incarceration will not flow down to an understanding among police that they are being told to "look the other way" and that their efforts to arrest lawbreakers (their primary tool) are being made hollow and pointless by lack of follow through on the prosecution end.

Immigration consequences of prosecutions -- just what do you think this means? People not getting prosecuted.
- komali2 7y ago> just what do you think this means? People not getting prosecuted. Seems a pretty big leap to me. > cases stemming from “illegal searches” after a minor traffic violation." Sounds constitutional to me. > Boudin said he will end cash bail Sounds fair to me. > “tough-on-crime” sentencing enhancements Sounds like evidence-based legal strategy to me. I've yet to see any indication that effective prosecution will go down. In fact, part of Chesea's platform was increasing prosecution for felonies such as DWI.
