I thought the DA said crimes wouldn’t be prosecuted. This may be in excess of civil rights but it’s still. If prosecution or jail time. A charitable view would state: It’s as if the DA is searching for solutions but always lands on the worst possible one which is both illegal and ineffective. The one benefit to this solution is that it reduces the DA case load, which it looks like is the real goal.

In this case, we're mostly talking about drug dealers who have been prosecuted and convicted-- and ultimately released, no longer living in San Francisco. The city attorney (not the DA-- another official who handles civil matters for the city rather than criminal ones) sought to keep these people out of the portions of the city where drug dealing is most endemic. But, this turns out not to be legal-- with no legislative support and with it all being post-conviction, combined with it being large in scope compared to similar civil protective orders.
