No point in reporting a crime anymore. Just take matters into your own hands.

Appearance tickets are the name of the game these days. Remember bail reform? There are very few qualifying offences that allow for bail. Cops show up, arrest, provide charges and tell the perp to show up to court (often times they give them the wrong day too which I have to put on the cops).

I had criminal court a couple weeks ago. Keep in my mind I'm in really small town so we don't get a lot of cases but because of the Coronavirus shutdowns we were backlogged and had 12 pending cases on the docket.

Guess how many defendants (excuse me...principles is the new term...defendant has a bad connotation I guess) showed up?

One. Exactly ONE defendant honored the appearance ticket and showed up. And unless they're showing a willful and persistent disregard (what that language means no one can tell me) I can't issue a bench warrant.

The inmates are truly running the asylum.
