fairness... to WHO???California may be fruits and nuts, but Massachusetts has been the epicenter of leftist insanity for far longer.
So we can all go to Rachael Rollins’ house and throw beer cans on her lawn.
All of those crimes can escalate to actual harm against persons. They all show that a person has no respect for property boundaries (whether property lines or that which belongs to others). It does not take a great leap to get from disrespect for property boundaries to disrespect for personal boundaries.
The criminal who trespasses today could well be tomorrow’s stalker.
The criminal who shoplifts today could well be tomorrow’s mugger.
The criminal who maliciously destroys property today could well be tomorrow’s home invader.
This also ties the hands of the police who might arrest a person for trespassing when they honestly believe his intent in trespassing was to sexually assault a woman living alone.
So, she has taken it upon herself to “pick and choose” who to prosecute and when. Sort of like that DA in Chicago?
Because democrat voters commit these crimes.
Those crimes are "classic d.v., domestic violence , related crimes" . (Not shoplifting I assume)
Pavlov scientifically proved over a century ago that you get more of the behavior that you reward. Evidently this knowledge has not trickeled down to those who hold law degrees.
Sounds to me like the citizens need to protect their own property now. When the law steps away you have to fend for yourself.
I guess the moron hasn’t heard about Seattle. Watch this:

If government is going to abdicare its responsibilities for these crimes,
it reverts back to the people and the people will deal with the criminals.
Doesn’t LA already overlook shoplifting?
Boston, and you real what you sow. You sowed liberalism now reap your disrespect.
But let someone steal an Amazon package off her porch and they go to prison
fairness... to WHO???Bostonians should watch the KOMO news special “Seattle is Dying”. The laws that are being proposed will turn Boston into the same type of cesspool that Seattle has become.
Post the “Seattle is Dying” video to him; it is their future ...
Charges for which the Default is to Decline Prosecuting (unless supervisor permission is obtained).
Trespassing
Shoplifting (including offenses that are essentially shoplifting but charged as larceny)
Larceny under $250
Disorderly conduct
Disturbing the peace
Receiving stolen property
Minor driving offenses, including operating with a suspend or revoked license
Breaking and entering — where it is into a vacant property or where it is for the purpose of sleeping or seeking refuge from the cold and there is no actual damage to property
Wanton or malicious destruction of property
Threats – excluding domestic violence
Minor in possession of alcohol
Drug possession
Drug possession with intent to distribute
A stand alone resisting arrest charge, i.e. cases where a person is charged with resisting arrest and that is the only charge
A resisting arrest charge combined with only charges that all fall under the list of charges to decline to prosecute, e.g. resisting arrest charge combined only with a trespassing charge
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.
Note: this is essentially already happening for drug possession cases in Roxbury and Dorchester District Court. - https://rollins4da.com/policy/charges-to-be-declined/
