Reply to comment by AgencyDelicious1933 in Man charged after eating stolen chips dropped by thief, police say by jab116

Stories like this always come to mind when I read articles about how prosecutors don't prosecute "minor crimes" because they are "too understaffed" or "underfunded". Or when I read articles about how the police don't bother pursuing things like package theft or home break-ins where the items stolen don't exceed a certain amount for the same reasons.

Part of me thinks it's a load of crap and they're just lazy

I think it depends on the police department and state.

But I'd agree that in this case it's pure laziness w/ a "smidge" of racism
