Doesn't sound like a good idea. The streets of NYC are already filthy enough. The insane asylum has opened its doors and the insane are being given free reign to run free.
Cops shouldn't be arresting anyone right now anyway. Let the libs and social justice warriors wallow in the hell they are insistent upon creating. Most cops don't live in the urban centers they police anyway. Why risk getting hurt or in trouble for no reason?
This is a very bad precedent to set and one that will have a negative effect on quality of life. Allowing people to behave disorderly in public sends the message that law enforcement/public safety is lax or non-existent and will foster more serious crimes.
What caused crime numbers to plummet in the 1990s was people being picked up on warrants over things like turn-stile jumping and littering, rather than Stop and Frisk.
What caused crime number to plummet in the early 90's can be minimally attribute to Guilliani, Ever heard of Roe vs Wade that was how many years before the drop in crime? Put two and two together... Crime went down nationwide at a substantial rate at the same time.. Unwanted babies + 20 years = more crime, less unwanted babies + 20 years= less crime.
Interesting theory, perhaps a contributing factor but I think you are discounting that Giuliani was a rabid supporter of the NYPD and as a result they went far (some said too far) and wide to fight anything considered a threat to the general public welfare.

It worked.
Like the moronic attack on Jaywalking.
