Know anyone living in Dallas, TX that can either dispute this or confirm it?

Are there any other places doing this? How do you feel about stealing and not getting prosecuted?
Since it appears that stealing is now okay in the eyes of the law, will God be okay with it as well?

I would say the title to your thread is misleading. Not prosecuting is different than legalizing. The next DA could still prosecute because the law is still on the books.

Also, there are people who are trying to get this district attorney removed from office. He has only been in a few months, and the constituents did not vote him in so that he could be soft on crime.

When I lived in Vegas someone robbed a bunch of storage units and ours was one. The owners knew who did it, had their plates and the found some of our stuff in their unit.

The cops wouldn’t come because they don’t bother with crimes where less than $4000 of stuff was stolen.

Moved to Texas and had another unit broken into. A cop came out, took a statement and assigned a detective to us. After a thorough search we found that they trashed our unit but didn’t take anything. This time around I didn’t leave any valuables in the unit just photos, holiday decorations and food storage.

They caught the people and they are in jail.

In Vegas, the cops were too busy trapping speeders everywhere and making money to bother with real crimes.

It sounds like we have at least one DA who understands the true state of America. Why are we prosecuting these people? This is such a waste of our resources.

Interesting enough, it matches the Old Testament, which I usually disagree with.

I'm open to suggestions.

I simply used the title of the video as a way to get forum members to become aware of the increasingly high levels of lawlessness occurring around the country, As for myself, I'd never heard of this type of thing going on, yet I'm not surprised at all. Wickedness is ramping up everywhere, including many cops, which means God's people have to double down on their efforts to not become "of the world, only in the world." Each person's righteousness must be approved of God in order to not be caught up in the ways of the world, or these people that are not living as God says will find themselves on the short end of the stick, no matter how righteous they may think they are.

Several years ago I recall a link at a blog that read: "Everything under $25 now free at Walmart." The story said that the man-hours necessary to prosecute small ticket shoplifters wasn't worth doing so, therefore the store would issue lifetime no-trespass warnings to these shoplifters.

Similarly, I expect that in Dallas the prosecutors are so busy that they have decided smaller shoplifters aren't worth prosecuting.

I've seen Walmarts that were open 24 hrs cut off the night hours because of shoplifters.

Why doesn't Walmart and other stores put a huge sign out in front on a window that reads: "Thou shalt not steal?"
