The Complexity of Baltimore's Crime Fight

BALTIMORE (WBFF) - When you look at Baltimore and what’s led to the violence, you quickly realize the complexity of the chaos.

A routine traffic stop in Southwest Baltimore recorded on an officer’s body-worn-camera helps to explain at least one of the challenges in Baltimore’s crime fight.

A police report states the officers found about three pounds of marijuana in the Honda.

Most of it was discovered where a Pitbull was sitting. In the trunk, officers find mason jars and plastic bags of more marijuana.

Although police charged the case, prosecutors ultimately dropped it.

Earlier this year Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced plans to no longer prosecute possession of marijuana cases.

It’s a decision the U.S. Attorney General took issue with during a recent speech before members of law enforcement.

A Fox45 investigation uncovered contradicting facts between the statement Mosby made earlier this year and decisions made by prosecutors in the case captured on an officer’s camera.

Both the State’s Attorney’s Office and Police Department issued statements rather than go on camera to discuss this particular case.
