I saw the KING 5 report on “catch and release” policy about to be implemented by King County (jails) in the near future. I realize the county has budget problems; however, its primary fiduciary responsibility is public safety.
I believe the current positive affirmation criminals receive confirming there is no downside to crime and it pays very well is sufficient. This program should be very beneficial to the criminal community. They will be able to continue residential burglaries, stealing from mail boxes and following UPS and FedEx trucks the same day with almost no interruption in service.
