I’m glad there is a little more coverage of how stupid jury trials for all misdeamenors would be. I get that everyone is super  woke these days and progressive criminal justice is de rigeur, but Jesus Christ, use your brains. This would cause so many quality of life crime issues. Violent crime is on the rise. Maybe we shouldn’t be scared to arrest and enforce the law.[/quote]

All of the below are misdemeanors:

arson (for under $1000 property)
stalking 
assaults that do not cause "significant bodily injury" 
threats to do bodily harm
contributing to the delinquency of a minor (including giving them drugs/alcohol, making them join a gang)
attacking a policy dog
counterfeting (less than 1000 items/$10,000)
abuse/neglect of an elderly or dependent person that does not cause "significant bodily injury"
cruelty to animals
dogfighting
flashing
indecent proposal to minors
false 911 calls
disorderly conduct
rioting (without serious bodily harm or property damage)
obstructing bridges
forgery
illegal ivory trade (first offense, value under $25,000)
aggressive panhandling
prostitution (first and second offenses)
date rape 
revenge porn/blackmail porn (second degree)
identity theft (second degree)
"knowing" insurance fraud
receipt of stolen property (under $1000)
defacing a public library book
