Icon8 Slippery slope when we stop enforcing laws

Man, this long but really hard to stop reading

Amazing, so many dynamics at play.

Quote:
In January 2018, Arnold (neighbor who caught thief Fairley in act of stealing packages off people's homes) took time off from work to attend one of Fairley’s (neighborhood thief) hearings, at the suggestion of the prosecutor then handling the case. (An organized group of San Franciscans also has taken to sitting in on burglary cases to show elected judges that voters are watching.) While Arnold sat in the courtroom, his wife texted that Fairley wouldn’t be showing up: She was on their stoop that very moment, apparently in the middle of another stealing expedition.
Catch and release at its finest.
