California DA paints opponent as ‘Gascón clone,’ vows not to let county become like Los Angeles A Southern California district attorney running for re-election is aiming to portray his opponent as a clone of George Gascón, the top prosecutor in neighboring Los Angeles County who is facing a recall attempt and backlash from elected officials and crime victims over his prosecutorial directives that critics say has contributed to a rise in crime. In a campaign video released Thursday, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer paints Los Angeles as a dirty, crime-ridden city besieged by homelessness while criticizing defense attorney Pete Hardin as being soft on criminals. "He's already announced exactly the same lines as George Gascón," Spitzer is heard saying in the 2-minute video titled "Gotham." "No bail. No death penalty. No (sentencing) enhancements."

Nearly one-third of NYC bus riders aren’t paying the fare, prosecutors not charging theft of services any more Two of the city’s five district attorneys, in Manhattan and Brooklyn, stopped prosecuting transit “theft-of-services” in 2018.

Bus enforcement, however, is non-existent; the Transit Bureau did not issue a single bus fare evasion summons in all of 2021, according to publicly available stats.
