Hey, you! Do you have an outstanding summons warrant? The Brooklyn DA would like to help you out. Like, really help you out. Though today's session is already over if you head to Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church (212 Tompkins Avenue) tomorrow between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., court and defense attorneys will be on hand to help you resolve your case [PDF]. It isn't quite a "get out of jail free card" but, they say, "favorable consideration will be given to those who participate." And that's not a bad thing for the marijuana arrest capital of the world.
The list of summons the DA wants to help you out with include: Unlawful Possession of Marijuana, Unlawful Possession of Alcohol under the age of 21, Consumption of Alcohol in Public, Unlawful Possession of Handcuffs, Littering, Riding a Bicycle on the Sidewalk, Making Unreasonable Noise, Animal Nuisance, Failure to have a Dog License, Unleashed Dog, Spitting, Trespass, Disorderly Conduct, Loitering, In the Park after Closing and Failure to Comply with a Posted Sign in Park (remember the doughnut tickets?).
