Charges for which the Default is to Decline Prosecuting (unless supervisor permission is obtained).
Instead of prosecuting, these cases should be (1) outright dismissed prior to arraignment or (2) where appropriate, diverted and treated as a civil infraction for which community service is satisfactory, restitution is satisfactory or engagement with appropriate community-based no-cost programming, job training or schooling is satisfactory. In the exceptional circumstances where prosecution of one of these charges is warranted, the line DA must first seek permission from his or her supervisor. If necessary, arraignment will be continued to allow for consultation with supervisor. Thus, there will be an avenue for prosecuting these misdemeanors when necessary but it will be appropriately overseen by experienced prosecutors. - https://web.archive.org/web/20211201122659/https://rollins4da.com/policy/charges-to-be-declined/ (https://i.postimg.cc/rsKWH1c9/Rollins.jpg)
