Four of New York City’s district attorneys have said they will in the coming weeks file motions in their respective counties to toss out 700,000 old warrants issued for low-level offenses like drinking in public and riding a bicycle on a sidewalk.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, Acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. will move to dismiss warrants that are 10 years old or older that stem from summonses issued by the New York City Police Department.
