Despite having months to prepare, City Hall failed to put in place a program that could give back to judges a powerful tool to keep tabs on potentially violent defendants released under the state’s new bail reform law.
The controversial law change removes the imposition of cash bail as an option for judges in most misdemeanors and other non-violent crimes.
But it also allows judges to order that those charged with felonies or in connection with domestic violence and sex-related cases be tracked with electronic ankle monitors to ensure they return to court.

Hmm.........ankle monitors aren't really worth a damn for multiple reasons but...........that's pretty shot out.
