They should purge all the ones before the storm for sure.

Court was bullshite. I was at a Sunday saints game. An officer assaulted a friend of mine. I told him off. Got a summons for the next morning. I lived in BR at the time.
Fing bullshite.

I skipped court and sent a lawyer to make it go away.
Not everyone can do that.

It really wouldn’t be complicated for the city attorney to go through and dismiss 15 year old speeding tickets, if it’s really a problem. But governments never want to give up potential revenue.

I can smell spin from a mile away.

...for minor, nonviolent offenses that do not carry a jail sentence, including panhandling and fishing without a license. (Two notable exceptions are battery and domestic abuse, which account for roughly 6 percent of all the warrants.

I notice an intent to downplay the severity of the crimes (only 6 percent were for battery and domestic abuse!) and to overplay minor issues (fishing without a license). What percentage were actually for "fishing without a license"? 0.001%? A single individual case would technically allow them to say it's "included".

s because that’s a bullshite number



It is probably only BS in that they allocate one individual for each outstanding warrant to get the in in 7 number, many individuals have multiple warrants out for them. Probably 10% of the population has 90% of the outstanding warrants.

statutes*, but go ahead



A "no show" bench warrant halts any prescriptive periods. In other words you just can't not show up for court and assume the charge will eventually just 'go away'.

I became ceo of a company and literally my first order of business was moving the annual convention from New Orleans to Austin. And for spite, I called all of my friends in similar positions and was able to get four more to move out of New Orleans

What about the statues of limitation?


All the statues have been removed. No further action is warranted.
