What:  Street Party in Contra Costa County

When:  May 4th, 2009

According to an April 22, 2009 story in the San Francisco Chronicle, “Misdemeanors such as assaults, thefts and burglaries will no longer be prosecuted in Contra Costa County because of budget cuts, the county’s top prosecutor said Tuesday.  District Attorney Robert Kochly also said that beginning May 4, his office will no longer prosecute felony drug cases involving smaller amounts of narcotics.

That means anyone caught with less than a gram of methamphetamine or cocaine, less than 0.5 grams of heroin and fewer than five pills of ecstasy, OxyContin or Vicodin won’t be charged. People who are suspected of misdemeanor drug crimes, break minor traffic laws, shoplift,

trespass or commit misdemeanor vandalism will also be in the clear. Those crimes won’t be prosecuted, either.  …

Don’t even bother submitting the cases”, Kochly said Monday in a memo to the Contra Costa County Police Chiefs Association …”

Yipes!

Paulano is not much of a partier, so I will respectfully send my regrets to Mr. Kochly, and steer clear of Contra Costa County for a while.  I may also offer the observation that his party may get a little out of hand, given that his guest list includes speeders, red light runners, burglars, trespassers, litterers, street brawlers, and everyone who’s ever wanted to party like they were in Amsterdam, but didn’t want to pay the air fare.

Drunk Drivers beware:  DUI cases will still be prosecuted!

The good news is that the Contra Costa party will have SOME limits.   The Chronicle went on to say that wife beaters, drunk drivers, sex criminals, those who commit assault with a deadly weapon are still NOT welcome at the party.    Well, OK then.  Party on.
