A District Attorney dubbed the 'wokest' in the country has launched a new 'soft-on-crime' policy that is set to make her city even more dangerous.
The controversial change introduced by Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty takes effect October 15.
Under the new policy, if police pull someone over for a minor issue like a broken taillight and then find illegal drugs or a gun, the county attorney’s office will no longer press charges.
Moriarty is unapologetic, claiming the stops disproportionately target black and brown drivers, rarely result in serious convictions and are ineffective at recovering contraband or improving safety.
'Non-public-safety traffic stops do not protect public safety, and they actively harm our community,' Moriarty said on Wednesday. 'This policy is grounded in research and best practices.
'This policy is grounded in research and best practices that clearly demonstrate these stops deeply undermine community trust, which has a significant negative impact on law enforcement's ability to investigate crime and our ability to prosecute cases.'
Under the new policy, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office will decline to prosecute felony charges, including weapons or narcotics possession, if they result from stops based solely on infractions like a broken headlight, missing side mirror, or cracked windshield.
Other infractions that will now be overlooked include, expired plates, a broken tail light, items dangling from the rearview mirror, excessively tinted windows, failure to signal a turn and a dim license plate light.
In other words, if a police officer pulls over a vehicle for one of these minor violations and then finds an illegal gun, stash of fentanyl, or other felony-level evidence, Moriarty's office will refuse to prosecute.
DA Moriarty has previously been accused of being soft on crime even clashing with the liberal George Soros-backed attorney general for Minnesota, Keith Ellison.

If you are going to vote for demonRATs, then this is what you get.
Arresting people running away from the scene of a crime carrying a bag marked "SWAG" or with a bloody knife in their hands likewise disproportionately targets people under the age of 70.
So, by the same twisted logic...
Regards,
Do you agree it’s all part of a globalist agenda?
It makes me wonder just how low IQ are the voters who fall for such self-destructive nonsense.
Correct.
So what he’s really saying is the criminal community will be upset if the police stick to the old policy. The criminals might not trust the police anymore if they are held accountable for crimes discovered during a traffic stop.
Well, we certainly can’t have that.
Under the new policy, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will decline to prosecute felony charges, including weapons or narcotics possession, if they result from stops based solely on infractions like a broken headlight, missing side mirror, or cracked windshield.
Other infractions that will now be overlooked include, expired plates, a broken tail light, items dangling from the rearview mirror, excessively tinted windows, failure to signal a turn and a dim license plate light.
The infractions she is talking about are possession of contraband. There is a lot of room for abuse in this area.
Putin - Xi - Iran - North Korea -Brazil -India have their globalist agenda and alliance called Brics. Unfortunately the first large crack appeared, when your hero Bad Vlad did nothing for his Iranian drone suppliers. When the USA + Israel eliminated all the air defenses Russia sold to Iran. Then wasted the Ayatollahs nuclear program
Another criminal helping criminals and giving the finger to law abiding citizens
BRICS is a response to the globalism of the EU and NATO. Only a Drooling Dimwit can't see it.
