This cash bail reform RIDICULOUSNESS that has already lead to somebody who robbed 2 places being put on an ankle monitor as they can’t give that type of crime bail. Guess who broke out of their ankle monitor. (The original judge basically said fuck the reform and gave bail, a higher judge overturned that and gave the monitor). I wouldn’t mind if it was super basic, first time offenses getting no bail like, shoplifting. but stalking???? Assault???? Here is a link that explain it more.

There’s also vandalism and protests in NYC about less cops in schools and subways and the fee to get on the subways. Not sure about the subway thing but no cops in schools is just dumb.

They also did some reform on the evidence discovery in trials. New York used to be able to wait until the day before the trial started to give evidence, which is dumb. Now they have to do it 15 days after arraignment. Seems more dumb. Evidence should be turned in by the time they have to do the preliminary hearing, which is where all evidence is introduced. Unless it is something that takes forever like DNA it should be in by then, and if not, a new hearing should take place and the trial should be pushed back if it’s major enough.

They seem to just be doing stupid things in NYC lately.
