Detroit to Stop Prosecuting "Low-priority Crimes"

Posted by samzenpus on Friday July 17, 2009 @06:11AM from the fend-for-yourselves dept.

Wayne county prosecutor Kym Worthy has told commissioners that proposed budget cuts won't allow the her office to prosecute low-priority crimes like breaking and entering. "We can't even cover our courtrooms anymore. At some point, if the budget continues to be cut, we're going to have to start making decisions about what crimes we prosecute," Worthy said. The county is facing a $105-million deficit in its 2009-10 budget. This might not be so bad. There is almost nothing worth breaking into or stealing in Detroit anyway.

But, then Detroit would become the Vegas of the east. Not such a bad plan...
