What Im more worried about is that the judge will release them on the spot or give them a bench warrant and let them go. Thats the new law in NYC, and it appears even to apply to violent crimes.
That’s a good point; the “bail reform” (which I thought was a thinly disguised attempt to prevent the city from having to house and feed so much trash, while endangering normals) will rear its head.
I was wondering why so many were willing to be arrested on a Friday night; many years ago a friend was arrested there on a Friday night and spent the weekend there because there wouldn’t be a hearing until Monday...
