The Washington Legislature鈥檚 2025 session has been littered with bills and proposals, all with the potential to change the state’s landscape. However, 成人X站 Newsradio host John Curley believes one Washington bill is dangerous and would invite more lawlessness — , which intends to minimize the penalties for lower-ranking misdemeanors.

“If you had lower misdemeanors, simple misdemeanors like you peed somewhere or you were drunk in public or … shoplifting, you can now ask a judge to basically have it go away, showing that you somehow completed a program where you had anger management issues, and you completed that program and they would all go away,” 成人X站 Newsradio reporter Matt Markovich said on “The John Curley Show.”

How does the bill go easy on criminals?

The Democrat-backed bill was created in an attempt to prevent people from having their future impeded by having a record, even a misdemeanor record.

“This is just simply going soft on criminals again,” Curley said. “Let’s say you get a DUI. This (bill) is not part of a DUI, but the reason people don’t drink and drive is because they know if they get caught, they’re in a lot of trouble, right? It has an effect on their future. So you go in and steal something or break some sort of law, what does it matter? Because it’s not going to affect me. It does have an effect. People do change their behavior if they know that there’s going to be a penalty assessed to it.

“Here’s the question, will we see crime increase or decrease because there is no penalty associated with it?” Curley added.
