Gee, no surprise here. And the amazing thing is Dem politicians believe the bail law is a good thing. Tremendously stupid.

Another Democrat run city going down the toilet.

Just more liberal insanity.

Major Crimes in New York City Spike 22 Percent in February and Cops Blame New Bail Law

Late in December, New York tabloids ran stories about Tiffany Harris, a mentally ill woman who slapped several Jewish women. Harris was arrested, arraigned, released, and only a few days later hit another woman, shouting out, “Fuck you, Jews!” The episode resonated in a Jewish community already alarmed about the increasing frequency of anti-Semitic incidents, but the papers also explicitly linked Harris’s case to bail reform. Left unsaid in the furor was the fact that the new bail law gives judges the option of ordering mental health counseling, but Harris’s judge hadn’t done so. Instead, a punitive narrative took hold: Why wasn’t this woman with untreated mental illness in jail?

The republicans are anti the bail law, surprised , you shouldn't be.

Some prosecutors , judges and republican cops are making it so.

something that democrats do not have

As the struggle in New York heats up, it’s drawing national attention. No less a figure than Trump recognized the political resonances of the issue when he tweeted about it in November. Last month, Attorney General William Barr waded into the debate personally, traveling to New York City to announce that the woman who had hit several people in Brooklyn, now receiving treatment for her mental illness in a hospital, would be prosecuted with a federal hate crime.

No they are not, the law of course needs to be tweaked, but other states do it.

 

[Penelope]

The republicans are doing the same in NY to make sure the BAIL reform bill is not a good idea, like they have tried to end the ACA since inception.

The republicans make me ill, as now some love the ACA.

Time to get out of New York. They are not stirring ethnic fears but economic class fear this time. Get out of jail free card for poor people, just for being poor? Idiots!

Dem voters voted for dems. They get dem pro-criminal laws and policies.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, fired back that the New York law, which takes effect in January, is “essentially the same bail reform law New Jersey passed several years ago under Republican Governor Chris Christie,” Trump’s longtime friend and ally.
Cops are making fewer arrests since N.J. got rid of cash bail

and

Alaska itself, a deeply red state, may not seem like a likely candidate for leading the charge on bail reform. But the issue has attracted supporters from disparate political stances. New Jersey’s Republican governor helped champion a law that ended bail in the state. Kentucky was an early adopter, directing judges to release all low-risk defendants beginning in 2011. Meanwhile, some deep blue states, such as California and New York, are still working toward reform.

Simply releasing criminals back on the streets just leads to more crime even if the cops stop arresting people

There should not be any bail whatsoever for minorities ...especially young black ones...eww

Not a bad as locking up millions of innocents that can't afford bail.

We do not lock up "millions of innocents". Quit your goddamn lying.

Isn't this what happens anyway when people are not given a life without parole prison sentence?

God bless you always!!!

Lots of people here have no idea about how bail works, why there are issues, and seem to suddenly ignore that in the U.S. we are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I wrote a paper about the issues with the cash bail system and reform last semester and it can totally ruin the live's of innocent people.
