Over 300 inmates were released in Suffolk County without bail in response to Cuomo’s new law. Judges no longer have discretion.
“Judges used to have some discretion on whether or not an individual should be held on bail,” Sheriff Errol Toulon, Jr. said. “Now, it is black and white – no bail for these crimes, regardless of the impact to the community. The offender will be given a court date and told to come back for court.”

Repeat offenders and potentially violent criminals are walking the streets. [The prior administration also filled Suffolk County with foreigners here illegally, including gang members]
Sheriff Toulon said inmates often get an opportunity to detox when they come into the jail and that won’t happen now. He is calling for the repeal of this law.
The sheriff highlighted some crimes that are deemed “non-violent” under the bail reform legislation:
- Third-degree assault;
- Aggravated vehicular assault;
- Aggravated assault upon a person under the age of 11;
- Criminally negligent homicide;

We need a class action lawsuit to hold these idiot liberal politicians accountable if these criminals attack or kill somebody while they’re out waiting for their court dates. Corrupt Liberals need voters for this year’s election and yes their voters are out of jail.
Next: The criminals formed into ban organized secret police! History repeats: Germany 1920-30!
gotta get those votes by hook or crook!!!! this is one way to create lawlessness!!! you will see the effects very soon!!
this is just too much…I can’t bear it…whoever is writing these laws must be criminals themselves…INFUCKINGSANE
This is complete madness to let loose criminal chaos on the public.
