Exactly right! Several police officers said that this policy will waste more time and money as defendants skip court dates and the police officers scheduled to testify will have to sit waiting for cases to be continued. Plus more warrants will have to be issued to haul the defendants back to court.
Kim Foxx is an absolute joke of a prosecutor.
My son was hit by a man without insurance and a suspended license. I asked one of the officers, later on, why he had not even received a citation for running a red light and driving without insurance or license. His response was that there was no point because he wouldn’t pay it anyway. This is similar. No incentive to change how they behave.
