I don't want to defend the cops, but when the DA expressly states they aren't going to enforce certain laws, then its really not their job to arrest people for that anymore. At that point the DA has made is clear that its not a legitimate grounds for arrests even if the law is on the books.
- shkkmo 4y ago> then its really not their job to arrest people for that anymore. Did they quit? If they are still recieving a paycheck then it is quite literally still their job. Instead of doing their job, the police decided to try to do the DA’s job, which is deciding which cases should be prosecuted.
- rhino369 4y agoIf the cops aren't enforcing any law at all, then I'd agree they aren't doing their jobs. But if they are doing the rest of their job, but not arresting people for crimes the DA won't charge, that is doing their full job.
