Bench warrants will now result in a new court date rather than a lockup.
New Jersey’s attorney general said this week that police officers will no longer arrest people who are wanted for skipping court dates for minor crimes or missing a payment.
Under the new rule, “residents will no longer be subjected to unnecessary and intrusive custodial arrests for hundreds of thousands of outstanding low-level warrants—and officers across New Jersey will avoid spending time effectuating and processing such arrests that by and large do not further public safety,” Platkin said in a statement.
