legalizing minor theft, shoplifting
Did you miss the portion where the article spoke about diversion, restitution, and community service?
I'm with a DA trying to find ways to let bad decision making "kids" not frick up their lives over minor offenses. Depending on the implementation, this could be a good thing.
I am with this DA using her discretion on a lot of this stuff, but those raising objections to the property crime exceptions have a real beef.
This approach is going to be embedded in the economic decision-making of everyone who lives, works, and (most importantly) invests in these areas. Strong property crime and private property rights enforcement is strongly correlated to communal health and economic growth, and that very much starts at the lowest level.

Suffolk County ,MA officially has the dumbest voting base in America. Proof of her win, assures that.
This be payback for those rasis laws.

Harrassment
"You can ask for a Harassment Prevention Order (a "258E Order) from a judge if you’re suffering from harassment because someone has committed 3 or more acts:
That were willful and malicious. This means it was done on purpose and was done for cruelty, hostility or revenge STRIKE 1
Were aimed at you. STRIKE 2!
Were intended to cause you fear, intimidation, abuse, or damage to property. “Abuse” means causing or attempting to cause physical harm, or causing fear of imminent serious physical harm.STRIKE 3!!!!
Did in fact cause you fear, intimidation, abuse or damage to property"

The argument over solely being charged with resisting arrest isn't anything new.
quote:
Walker says his research indicates resisting arrest—rather than coming as a result of hostile perpetrators—often stems from a few officers in each department raring for a fight, who are unable or unwilling to defuse the hostility that naturally stems from when one is ordered to put his hands behind his back.
He suggests departments create “Early Intervention Systems,” which track officer performance, including how many arrests they make for resisting arrest—something that apparently the NYPD does in some form. (This is not to be confused with its Early Intervention Unit, which is instead for counseling cops feeling overwhelmed on the job). Officers found to be excessive in bringing resisting arrest charges could then be disciplined, retrained, or both.
“Resisting arrest charges have been misused. It’s better to put the emphasis on de-escalation, which has been endorsed by just about everyone these days, including the President’s Task force,” Walker said, referring to President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, where Walker was a witness.
Officers will also charge someone with resisting arrest after they wield more force than may have been necessary, according to one expert on police violence.

If you honestly believe that, then more power to you. Come to Boston and test your theory.
And you asked what could be done, not what could be done in criminal court, so I added a civil option.

Bravo. It’s even more than that. When property rights are abridged you see a sharp decline in public virtue. That is, average people begin to behave less virtuously with each other because the social contract is seen to no longer apply to their lives. They lose the assumption that they are supposed to be fair with their neighbors, or trust the Rule Of Law. We have seen this over and over in Communist countries and dictatorships, where the capricious and arbitary nature of The State leads to people becoming paranoid, distrustful and completely disconnected from their community.

They certainly lack the foresight to know what the results of this lack of prosecution will bring.

what did it say about robbing Fenway Park?

Someone who is "possession with intent to distribute", does he or she get to keep the drugs?
Will every store need to have security to stop the removal of goods which haven't been paid for?
(Is that $250 before or after sales tax?)
And a thousand other questions.
Shall we send our homeless to Boston for the summer?

Absolutely. It totally changed the character of our town in two years. Low level crooks moved in and the drug problem and property crime problem just exploded
It's had a huge effect on quality of life for many. The new Governor has promised to roll back many of the changes.

Thank god there’s all the STEM degrees from MIT and the MBAs from the HBS to help balance that out.
Not that those schools are world-renowned or anything.

Is there any evidence that the Suffolk DA was trying to tack on jail time for these crimes prior to this? I have a hard time believing that folks were being locked up for the listed crimes prior to this. Seems like this is definitely more about declining prosecution than pre-trial diversion.

I have been with and actually seen a guy who was arrested in Destin, and his only charge was "resisting arrest". His crime? Watching me do a field sobriety test saying I needed a witness if they weren't going to record the test, when he wouldn't quit watching after being told twice, he was tackled face first onto the pavement and got the shite kicked out of him. When the judge looked at his face the next day and saw what he was charged with, he went apeshit
