[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece was stalked by a rapist from Maryland who got off easy. He should be in jail for life. DC won't keep him behind bars either. [/quote]

The maximum sentences are rarely given out, and they are rarely life (in MD, only 1st degree rape is eligible for life sentences).

Various groups, typically on the left, have come out against harsh sentences for felonies.[/quote]
Let them experience the consequences of their voting choices.[/quote]

OMG this is not true. Quote any MoCo politician ever saying we should not give maximum sentences to rapists. You can’t because it’s jot true that MoCo wants to be soft on crime. You guys keep lying over and over.[/quote]

Council Members Jawando and Mink have introduced the STEP act:

This would prevent police from doing traffic stops for infrations like expired registration and defective lights.

It's done for racial equity:

"The purpose of this bill is to promote fairness by reducing racial disparities that occur
during a traffic stop"

Yet, many traffic stops result in the seizure of weapons and drugs. For example this one that got fentanyl and crystal meth out of a dealer's hands before it could reach the victims:

I agree it's unlikely a MoCo politician is on record for reducing the penalty for rape (which anyway is set by the state, not county, so they have no control) but they are most certainly in favor of less enforcement of crimes generally.
