I guess since he just got that settlement he won't have to worry about money for snack foods and toothpaste for awhile.

I wonder if he has been in custody while awaiting sentencing or if he has been running the streets under Cuomo's catch and release policies.

[kit]

"Catch and release"? Then what's the point in paying the police to catch them in the first place? There wasn't anything wrong with the "Catch and prosecute" plan, was there?

[Clipper]

Catch and prosecute was an excellent plan. I suppose the new catch and release DOES provide job security for police officers, but it is a tad dangerous for the general public.

[Atticus Pizzaballa]

Catch and prosecute was racist. The majority of arrests that were black were held in jail because bail could not be obtained so most white people were released. They were warning people last night about the recent increase of car breakings. They are looking for keys people leave in there cars so as to steal the car. The Sheriff said if caught they get an appearance ticket. I guess that means they have to steal another car so as to show up!

[clarencebunsen]

One problem that I see is that judges have no digression. We had one in Oneida County a few months back who was arrested 3 times in one week for auto theft.

[Ralph]

We have so many repeat offenders at Walmart that we need a revolving door on our AP office.

'Catch-and-Release' is not racist. If there are more of a particular race being arrested, maybe it's because more of that race are breaking the law. The numbers are just statistics.

Yes but that is what is being argued by not requiring bail. That process has always been racist. The numbers may indicate blacks commit more crime but they also cannot afford bail so it gives the advantage of avoiding jail to white people. Thus racist. Look up the information it is all on the world wide web.

[BHU]

There's plenty of white people sitting in jail on felony charges because they can't post bail. Too bad. There are bail bondsmen who will spring people out of jail for a fee, unless the person is a real cretin & a flight risk. I'd like to know what the incentive is for people to not commit more crime if there's no risk of being locked up awaiting disposition of their case?

Law enforcement has been telling people over & over & over again to lock their cars & don't leave valubles in them. How many times do people have to be warned? Hello!

[Atticus Pizzaballa]

Maybe people don't want their windows broken on their cars. LOL. Maybe people should clean the junk out of there garages and park the car(s) in them. LOL

Why did NY get rid of cash bail?
The purpose of the original bail reform law was to reduce the number of people jailed while awaiting trial simply because they could not afford to pay bail. Court watchers estimated that it would have reduced the jail population by at least 40 percent by eliminating cash bail for as much as 90 percent of arrests.Apr 16, 2020

What is the new bail reform New York?
New York's recent bail reform law, which was passed in April 2019 and amended on July 2, 2020, was expected to reduce the footprint of jail incarceration by limiting the use of money bail.Feb 18, 2021

New York Tried to Get Rid of Bail. Then the Backlash Came.

Here is one DA that is fed up with the ultra liberal crap and laws that favor criminals. It seems that at some point in the future NY State may not need to have district attorneys anymore and police will no longer need to arrest criminals because NY's court system will have reached a point where prosecutor's hands will be tied tightly behind their back. Subsequently an arrest would be a waste of time because true justice will never be served and the perpetrator will be back on the street, flipping police and prosecutors the bird as they walk away to re-offend.

[BHU]

I know of an individual right now who was arrested twice for domestic violence. His charge? Criminal obstruction of breathing, in other words, strangulation. This dirtbag was twice issued appearence tickets. Now the lowlife is on the run who failed to appear & has a warrant out for his arrest. Welcome to the criminal justice system in N.Y. thanks to Cuomo & his downstate lackeys who voted for "catch & release".

[Clipper]

It has become ridiculous. A year or so ago there was a guy here that put his wife in the hospital when he beat her face to a pulp and cracked her ribs. They let him out on an appearance ticket and within a week or so he went back and killed both his wife AND their totally innocent teenage daughter..

[Atticus Pizzaballa]

It is a sad day indeed. I saw the segment on WKTV about the District Attorney. When we give the criminal the upper arm we all suffer yet they laugh. Should tell us something.
