Mostly because the new DA won't be prosecuting most crimes.
DA Creuzot letter to the people of Dallas County
Misdemeanor possession of weed? Won't be prosecuted.
Flipping Xanax on the corner? No jail until it comes back from testing and then you get a ticket instead of a warrant.
Homeless sleeping in front of your business? Too bad for you! It's "inhumane" to run them off.
That homeless person sleeping in front of your store just stole 20 cases of beer? Nobody's going to prosecute that because theft of personal items less than $750 is now legal in Dallas County. Well, it's not really legal but nobody is going to prosecute it.
Is your license suspended? Feel free to drive. Nobody is going to prosecute stuff like that.
Are you looking at probation? Don't sweat it. Nobody is going to ask for anything significant. Your lower level felonies won't get more than 6 months probation.
Do you need to come up with bail? Not in Dallas County! Low level felons with no convictions in the last 5 years are to be released on their own recognizance.
Good luck, Dallas County! Something tells me you're going to need it.
