I still get smitten with the city. It gets in your bones. It really does.

what evidence used against them? said missing piece not even called as a witness/evidence against the accused....there's a reason why it wasn't collected the first place and presented to court in timely manner...no one care for it...it was not important to case and not plan to use against accused

I went to the zoo just wearing a t-shirt sunday!

(well, and pants)

Yet nothing will be done about. The only way politicians act on anything is when it hits them personally or close to home.

I gotta give the little bastard credit, he sniped that slice lol

Greatest city in the world!

>The cops are among those saying this misinformation loudly, saying their hands are tied, can't do their jobs, etc when they often slack off and refuse to do their job (a local chain that has had theft can't rely on the cops coming to take their reports)

The journalists are also complicit in this. Every time a cop claims their "hands are tied," the immediate response should be to ask the cop to explain how exactly the bail reform law "tied their hands." Which provision takes away cops' power to investigate? Which provision takes away cops' power to arrest? Which provision makes shoplifting "legal"?

The uncritical mainstream media narrative of bail reform "tying the hands of law enforcement" is one of the most in-your-face examples of propaganda - copaganda - I've ever seen.

Rapes are also down , and the ones that are up are not up by that much .

This already exists…

And the data is not real time

the defense team should still have the opportunity to view it. again, as someone whose responsibility it was to collect logbooks, its not difficult. it takes like a minute at most to send

And as for the usual "millionaires will just move" "rejoinder," the wealthy want the prestigious NYC address. There's a reason why millionaires haven't flocked to Bayonne or Harrison, even though they'd certainly save a bundle on taxes.

Maybe if you wanted to fly a kite with a little bit of rain, it was the perfect day for you.

I tell all potential visitors that the city is pretty slimy these days. We’re still feeling the pandemic. It’s same in Paris and London-all of our cities are just a little bit off these days.

happy you enjoyed it. got decent weather for a march trip

>you think that's fair

Yes. Because defendants have a right to see evidence in a case against them. The courts shouldn't be a trial mill. These are people's lives we are judging. And I certainly don't think we should trust a prosecutor to judge what evidence is valuable or not to the defense.

Again?

>Brooklyn Councilwoman Inna Vernikov recently used her government email account to solicit business for a self-defense company she has been involved with, according to a Daily News review of public records.

>The first-term Republican lawmaker’s promotion of the nonprofit company, Legion Alpha, Inc., drew a stern rebuke from Richard Briffault, a former chairman of the city Conflicts of Interest Board, who said her use of a government email to boost the firm ran afoul of local government ethics law.

>“That’s a clear violation of conflict rules,” Briffault said, pointing to a section of the City Charter that he noted prohibits her from using “public resources for a financial gain of a firm with which she is associated.

Well, technically you're getting two things in this scenario: 1. Free shit (literally), and 2. Cool story to tell the next time you're at a bar.

Yea I'm like a little kid like today at work walking to lunch I still think it's cool to look up at the tall buildings.

Suddenly it will no longer be the most interesting city. I get it!

I don’t think you actually read what I wrote because you’re not responding to it.

Again, the problem is not requiring more discovery, but imposing a penalty completely disproportionate to the items not turned over, especially when those items aren’t in the people’s possession.

Statistics came out that there has been more recidivism amongst violent offenders since bail reform.

“The one exception was for bail-eligible people who were released following recent violent felony arrests. The rate of rearrests for that cohort of offenders increased slightly.”

...to have it immediately tagged over constantly. Just let it be.

They probably just live one one of the many, many, many neighborhoods not covered in trash and dogshit
