You don’t have to wait until Sunday for your (minor) sins to be forgiven this week: This Saturday, a Bushwick church is hosting the borough’s 4th ever “Begin Again” event, which provides locals with an opportunity to resolve any outstanding low-level “quality of life” summonses they might have on their legal records.
The summons warrant adjudication initiative, hosted by the office of Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson in partnership with the Office of Court Administration, the Legal Aid Society and the NYPD, both helps the city “clear the staggering backlog of warrants in the New York City summons court system” and allow those who have long been worried about the potential consequences of dealing with a summons to put their minds at ease.
