It is weii intended, but is still lying. Some would even wipe the records of adult criminals becauseit's hard for sexual predatorsto get jobs in child care and for drug users to get jobs handling pharmaceuticals. They don't think other adults can or should be allowed to judge for themselves regarding such matters, even if the lives of others may be affected.

Civil citations were used back in 2006, 2007, and 2008, and there were many positive results seen in children who were given this option opposed to arrest. But the program went by the wayside due to political posturing over money - canceled due lack of funding. So if this "new" program is going to save millions of dollars, why weren't civil citations employed sooner? Not wanting to paint a negative picture, but this will probably be another flash in the pan program that will last only a short while because of shortsightedness in some county commissioners and their bean counters.
