LA cops arrest 14 suspects in connection with 11 smash-and-grab robberies - but release ALL of them because of California's 'zero bail' policy

Police in Los Angeles have announced 14 arrests in connection with 11 recent smash-and-grab robberies at stores where nearly $340,000 worth of merchandise was stolen, but all the suspects have been released.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said that most of the accused robbers suspected of ransacking businesses between November 18 and 28 bailed out or met no-bail criteria, and one is a juvenile.

At a joint news conference on Thursday announcing the arrests, both Moore and Mayor Eric Garcetti called for an end to a no-bail policy for some defendants aimed at reducing overcrowding at Los Angeles County jails during the coronavirus pandemic.

And assuming the 14 were involved in all 11 smash and grabs, That’s multiple counts they are facing.

What a great idea! Coddle the criminals, spend taxpayer dollars to catch them, and then release them without penalty so they can do it again. Sounds like a Full Employment Act for attorneys, judges, and law enforcement.

Being honorable criminals, I’m 100% certain they won’t ply their trade while out on no bail.

Everyone is missing a key point.

Crazy people are in position to invent POLICY, and have it dictated as Law ... which stupid and lazy people obey.

"Crazy people are in position to invent POLICY, and have it dictated as Law ... which stupid and lazy people obey."

I bet they don't really have authority to invent Policy and that they are violating the law. But the "stupid and lazy" legislature is failing to react. They should be impeaching some people and demanding prosecution of others.

I am sure they will show up for their court dates, too.

Arresting looters is racist. Defund the police so they can loot in peace

The media plays it like “if its less than 950 dollars in theft it is not a felony”

The truth is, it is not individual thing. If 30 people conspire to steal 20,000 dollars worth of merchandise, it is a felony committed by 30 people, not 666 dollars each as a misdemeanor offense.

So it is no longer just fishermen/women that practice "Catch & Release"?
