Many cities with “rogue prosecutors” have seen increased crime.

A new report found that some district attorneys in Texas are refusing to enforce certain laws, violating their oath of office and eroding public trust in the justice system.

These rogue prosecutors “abuse their discretion by refusing to enforce laws they disagree with and instead pursue lenient charges against violent criminals,” Ross Jackson of the Texas Public Policy Foundation wrote.

According to his report, major cities with rogue prosecutors include Minneapolis, Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tampa, and Manhattan. In Texas, Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas each have district attorneys refusing to prosecute certain crimes.

Lenient policies from the DAs could be amplifying localized crime spikes.

“Going against the national trend, many cities with rogue prosecutors have experienced rising crime rates in certain categories of offenses,” Jackson wrote.

DA's refuse to enforce certain laws.  Criminals are emboldened to break those laws, and other laws as well.

When can I stop paying my income taxes without consequences, repercussions, and reprisals by revenue officers?

They need to make a law that makes non-enforcement of laws a crime and an offense that can get officials removed from office.  Lenient DA's are passive participants in conspiracies to commit crimes.

What's the point of laws if they are not going to be applied?

Law enforcement officials who don't enforce laws are insubordinate to the wishes of the People as expressed in the laws passed by their elected legislative representatives.
