"Los Angeles is like the movie [The] Purge, but instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days," McBride said during an appearance on Fox News.
McBride said California's zero bail policy, which allows offenders of misdemeanors and low-level felonies to be quickly released from custody after being arrested and booked, is to blame for the rash of theft, robberies and other violent crime across the region, KNX reports.
"Right now you can literally go out, do whatever you want, commit crimes and you'll be out faster than the officers can finish the report," McBride said.
