That's One Way To Get Your Crime Rate Down - By Ignoring Crimes

Just when one thinks the progressives could go no more crazy in coddling criminals, here comes Seattle City Council.

KOMONews: Seattle City Council mulls law that could result in dismissal of many misdemeanor crimes

The Seattle City Council is considering new legislation that would create a legal loophole that would make substance addiction, mental illness or poverty a valid legal defense for nearly all misdemeanor crimes committed in the city.

In short you could commit just about any misdemeanor and get out of it, so long as you claimed without needing to provide evidence that you were a) an addict; b) mentally ill; or c) poor and the crime you did was to provide for your needs.

What could possibly go wrong?

Beans: Yep, they keep trying to follow the European's (bad) example, don't they?
