All they accomplished with this shuffling of the criminal justice system was create "catch and release" or full employment for the few cops who will remain on the streets. It is a revolving door that got the original "get tough on crime" citizen victims to push legislators across the nation to  put laws with teeth on the books. Victims got tired of seeing the perpetrators beat them back on the street to commit crime after crime as a soft touch breeds contempt  by the criminals. This  was nothing but a cost cutting release program. You voted for it now live with it. But Alaska is a CCW -ACHP  Constitutional carry state so criminals beware.
But with politics now emerging as law why will we even need courts when street rabble and politicians can overturn criminal law and  the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court.
