The recommendation comes after Giuliani represented Donald Trump in a Pennsylvania court case that sought to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.
Rudy had a 'broken windows' policy as Mayor of New York. The idea was that little things like broken windows and petty crimes in a neighborhood emboldened people to do much worse things. That meant that beggars and fare jumpers were locked up instead of just being fined.
What...? That's insane. The point of a broken window policy is to encourage urban cleanliness, fixing things and making places nicer. Because people are less likely to commit greater crimes in places that look like nice. Not to punish people committing tiny crimes harshly.
Encouraging cleanliness is not the point at all. The point is: "... policing methods that target minor crimes, such as vandalism, loitering, public drinking and fare evasion, help to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. " Source.
In the specific case that OP is referring to with Giuliani and NYC: "Bratton directed the police to more strictly enforce laws against subway fare evasion, public drinking, public urination, and graffiti."
He follows the usual paternalistic logic of Republicans. Don't let people get off light for petty crime, because then they'll abuse it and do worse stuff since they can get away with the small stuff. Whole "Spare the Rod" bullshit.
“Taking away the mayor’s law license is meant to discourage lawyers from representing clients like President Donald Trump or anyone else who is willing to take on the prevailing political establishment,” he added.
The majority of attorneys that have represented Trump in his civil and criminal trials have not been disbarred; only the ones that are committing crimes have been. The biggest discouragement to lawyers had been Trump's unwillingness to pay the legal bills he owes, coupled with Trump's unwillingness to follow legal counsel.
