Idiocy in the legal system - from Seattle station KOMO:
Bellevue catalytic converter thief arrested, released a day later
Police said new surveillance video shows a prolific thief in action stealing a catalytic converter from a Bellevue family's car.
Investigators say it was part of a multi-week crime spree, including thefts in a school parking lot.
While police finally arrested the suspect, Dan Pham, he's no longer in jail because a judge released him.
He admitted to the thefts - sold them on Facebook marketplace.
