The new District Attorney of San Francisco says he won’t be prosecuting crimes like urinating in public and prostitution and blocking a sidewalk and other quality of life issues. Chesa Boudin said, when he was campaigning, that he wouldn’t do it and he says it is a promise he intends to keep.
Boudin has been a public defender and he is classified by many as a progressive attorney. He is taking this stance because he wants to decriminalize homelessness. He believes that these are crimes that many homeless people get brought into the justice system on.
