Well done for pointing out a lib policy that has the veneer of a leftist policy to the untrained eye, but what it only achieves is to maybe reduce some bureaucratic strain in the justice system (which an actual lefty solution for, is to stop underfunding public services because of literal inflation voodoo) and pressure on the prison/jail/bail system (again, don't be afraid of inflation voodoo and just properly fund the institutions that enforce the very laws that make for society to function).
Even further, is such a non leftist policy, it does nothing to actually address the causes of crime, it's little more than a Libbandaid that, btw, only makes cops' jobs harder, which in turn, primes police officers who get the brunt of it, for radicalization by white supremacist elements, which isn't something neither new, nor recent, as residents from Lynwood, amongst many many other places in America will tell you.
A lefty policy is socialist economic policies that address poverty at its source, labor exploitation, such as union protection, and printer going brrrrrr for the people whose labor and consumption demand makes modern life possible, since UBI and properly funded public institutions and offices are better than spending the same, or even more money, in giving it to a bunch of ghouls that use if to enrich themselves even more, instead of being able to afford not to fire people, and projecting their own laziness onto the people they betray after they bailed them out with their tax dollars.
Free your mind from Voodoo inflation economics of the neoliberal orthodoxy.
