Dart said What Now?

If Tommy Dart recognizes failure, something is up:

• Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart wants to get out of the electronic monitoring business. He says because of a provision of the Illinois SAFE-T Act, he is unable to properly ensure public safety.

  There is some pushback on the move, and it's coming from the Chief Judge in Cook County.

  The Cook County Sheriff is charged with locking up pre-trial defendants who judges deem too dangerous to release. But, there are another 1,500 who are sent home with electronic monitoring bracelets that allow the sheriff's department to track their movements 24 hours a day. Those defendants are often allowed to leave their homes for school, work or other activities. The sheriff uses geofencing to make sure those individuals stay within their allowed areas.

Here's the kicker:

• However, Sheriff Dart says defendants, who are allowed two days a week to move freely under the SAFE-T Act, are using that freedom to commit crimes.

  "And sure enough, we've had over 200 people charged, mind you, with new crimes, gun offenses, you know, shootings, you name it, and those are just the ones we know of how many other ones we don't know," Dart said. "The devices are off."

  Technically, defendants' movements on their "free" days are still monitored as the sheriff's department, but the alerts to the sheriff's department are silenced.

If you needed any more proof that democrats are morons, this should seal the deal for you. The rest of us caught on years ago, but even you short-bud riders should be able to see that granting habitual criminals a 48-hour open pass on EVERYTHING....well, it certainly amazing that the "media" didn't blast this loophole all over the place and make dems pay a price at the polls.

Oh wait.....

Is Dart on the way out? Failing upwards or running afoul of the Prickwrinkle Machine?
