00:00we can't keep allowing a lot of these people to get in and out of jail um and i'm not
00:06trying to
00:06take a shot but it's the truth um the hennepin county attorney uh has this new term that she's
00:13been using emerging adults which i don't know where where heck that came from but emerging adults
00:19and that's affecting charging decisions right so these people they're getting we're making good
00:24cases they're going to jail they're getting arrested for gun crimes or for what kind of
00:29stuff are they getting arrested for uh weapons possession yeah gun possession um you know but
00:36the deal another piece of this and i will end my gripes here i promise uh there's this notion of
00:43some people don't like petty misdemeanor traffic stops um you know like for an outtail light or
00:48whatnot so those people that are getting stopped in those instances with an outtail light or out
00:55license plate light if we're finding that they're illegally possessing weapons or whatnot
00:59we're getting those charges declined because there's a position that if you're stopping people
01:05for those reasons and they will call it non-public safety stops i don't know where you find that in
01:11statue but nonetheless they will call it non-public safety stops and they're using that to dismiss a
01:16lot of these cases and it's like i get you know i get some of this but it's like we
01:21really have to
01:23when we make good cases against these folks then there needs to be as eddie murphy said in the movie
01:29life uh some consequences and repercussions i know from talking to dozens of these gang members there
01:35are scared to death of the fbi charging them with rico the regional approach is the only ways to address
01:42mobile gangs like this small agencies small suburbs cannot do it on their own it's costly but there's
01:49already a lot of money in play to address drugs and other problems we need to retest some of that
01:55money
