Baltimore County councilman: State's attorney’s policies create ‘message of permissiveness' amid crime spike
Fox News
A Baltimore County councilman is speaking out this week about a reported rise in crime in the area, arguing that prosecution policies recently implemented by the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City, Marilyn Mosby, have created a "message of permissiveness."
"I don't agree with sending a message of permissiveness," Marks said, noting that he disagrees with many of Mosby’s recent policy actions. "You can be tough on crime, but also supportive of those services that minimize the likelihood of crime. These aren't mutually exclusive goals."
At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Mosby directed her office to no longer prosecute people for crimes such as drug possession and prostitution in order to reduce the threat of outbreaks in the prison system.
