I think all the warrants that were issued for victimless crimes should be tossed, no victim no crime. So offenses like drug possession, violations of ordinance, traffic offenses and crimes of this nature.
The ones for violence, theft or damage of another person or their property ought to be enforced.
Doing it this way should free up resources needed to pursue actual criminals.
I did a bit more reading into it and it seems all of the estimated 1.2 million warrants are for minor offenses, or of course minor offenses while on parole which is a major offense.
I agree that the 1.2 million warrants should potentially be burned from a monetary standpoint or even from a "catching the bigger fish" standpoint but what effect will this have on the crime rates moving forward? Not sure myself but i see some really bad possibilities which could become reality.
