Dallas will no longer prosecute 'petty crimes'

Is this the face of criminal justice "reform"?

Dallas County district attorney John Creuzot is enacting sweeping changes to the way his office deals with crime. It appears that Creuzot will be giving petty criminals a pass.

Creuzot will "decriminalize" most petty crimes against property, reform the bail system, and refuse to prosecute first-time drug offenders.

If you are not prosecuted then no crime was committed, so how do you say it is their second time if there never was a first?

Big fines to feed the newly unwanted citizenry may be the answer.

Since the district attorney won't do his job, it looks like it's time for some vigilante justice

Yeah, well in Texas you can still strap on a six-shooter and walk down the street. Sounds like they are going to leave the policing of the petty crimes to the public.
