According to Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Illinois has already pardoned and expunged nearly 800,000 low-level convictions after the legalization of marijuana in 2020. More than 15,000 of those cannabis-related convictions have been expunged by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx.
It’s a little absurd that the police have to basically prove their entire case BEFORE arresting the culprit. If it were up to the police, they would just arrest the culprit at probable cause to get him off the streets and continue building the case. Surely there is some middle ground between the police just arresting some person on flimsy evidence and building the entire case and letting this rapist escape or commit more crimes. I mean, they just said we know who he is, why doesn’t he just running away?
