Philadelphia PD Will Delay Low-Level Arrests to Prevent Further Spread of Coronavirus

According to the memo, Philadelphia authorities will delay arrests for certain nonviolent crimes, including all narcotic offenses, retail theft, vandalism, burglary, and prostitution. If an officer determines someone has committed one of these crimes is committed, the suspect will be temporarily detained until the officer can confirm his/her identity and prepare all relevant paperwork. The officer will then submit an arrest affidavit to the District Attorney's Charging Unit: "If the charges are approved the assigned detective will obtain an Arrest warrant," the memo reads. "The warrant will be served at a later time, as conditions dictate."

The press release Philly police sent to the media didn't include the list. The list leaked somehow and a freelance blogger and Fox 29 put it out on social media. It was irresponsible af to put it out there imo, especially when you have people buying guns. Combine that with people feeling paranoid and it's a recipe for disaster
