Damn that twitter clip is wild. Seems like it would be very easy to give her the data if they are actually tracking it. Maybe they aren't? Or have very old technology?

Former Hill East ANC Commissioner Denise Krepp has been trying to get data from the USAODC for years. I believe she had to sue several years ago and still has to do FOIA requests to get any data.

Unbelievable. I have zero faith in the DC Attorney General's Office to do anything to stop juvenile crime. Hopefully someone on the DC Council starts to demand more data be released publicly so we can see which cases are being "papered" and which ones are not.

The criminals keep on getting bolder and bolder. A man was carjacked and beaten near Lincoln Park around the same time.

I think the main issue is that juveniles are being arrested for carjacking and then are almost immediately released by the DC Attorney General's office. The 15 year old who was recently arrested for 8 carjackings had been arrested before for carjacking. The teens who killed the Uber Eats driver in the carjacking had been arrested before for attempted carjacking.
Somewhat related, I wish MPD could set up bait cars for all of the wheel/rim thefts. Even just put some sort of tracking device hidden on the rims. Someone has to be buying all of these things from the criminals.

Former AG Racine released some data last year, but it wasn't accurate because many of the cases are never "papered"

Good morning, I've lived in DC for nearly 15 years. I started coming to Reddit to learn about incidents that were happening in my neighborhood. I always found it useful. Unfortunately, it's a topic that many people are thinking about these days.

Mass Ave NW near the capitol police parking lot?

13 years is a complete joke for this crime. I hate to say it, but the Judiciary Committees in Congress need to haul up the USAO to testify.

I believe there were two additional homicides last night and already one this evening...so 204 now.

Interesting. I have cold cereal every morning for breakfast. That seems pretty normal to me,

Hopefully the USAODC will be more clear in what they are against in the markup.
"We still have concerns with multiple aspects of this bill and believe that some provisions, while well-intentioned, could undermine community safety and impede the administration of justice in our courts."

The Pat Handy Men's shelter is right there. I wouldn't be surprised if someone from the shelter lit the car on fire.
