An ordinance for Pre-Trial Diversion went before Opelika Council – OANow.com: Opelika
This ordinance will be a great way to divert low-risk offenders away from the overburdened judicial system in Alabama. This is similar to the pre-trial diversion program used in California for first time drug offenders called the deferred Entry of Judgment PC1000 program. California now uses online drug awareness classes to help young, low-risk drug offenders meet their court obligations in a timely manner so that first offense drug charges can be dismissed upon completion of their program.
