“In 2018, Sean Patrick Maloney said enacting cashless bail was his top priority. In 2019, Alessandra Biaggi led the charge to pass it into law in Albany. Since then we've seen one example after the next of violent criminals being released immediately upon arrest, only to commit another violent offense. In their world, being arrested for robbery, only to be immediately released, and then assaulting a police officer, only to be immediately released again is okay. It has to stop. Judges need more discretion to take into account a defendant's criminal history, as well as whether or not they pose a danger to society -- every other state allows it. 

 

“Kathy Hochul needs to bring us back for an immediate special session and for Albany Democrats to fix this broken system and end cashless bail -- even New York City Mayor Eric Adams agrees. Sadly, if Maloney and Biaggi have it their way, more violent criminals will be released from prison and their innocent victims will be SOL. Does this sound like a system that's working?”
