Albany County DA David Soares is right to be furious at Gov. Cuomo and the Legislature for passing criminal-justice reforms this year that’ll actually fuel criminal chaos. Only a special legislative session to fix the flaws can contain the damage now.

As The Post’s Bernadette Hogan reported Tuesday, Soares — who heads the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York — is blasting Cuomo & Co., warning of the major threat to public safety when the reforms take effect Jan. 1.

The process for passing these reforms was “reckless and irresponsible,” Soares fumed. Lawmakers rushed through drastic changes “without speaking to anyone besides the activists. No chiefs of police, or the DAs association or the Sheriff’s Association.”

One major problem: The reforms came with no money for law enforcement to comply with all these new mandates. Soares, along with DAs across the state, hoped fixes to the measures could be made before this year’s legislative session ended last month. No such luck.

To stave off disaster now, lawmakers need to convene a special session, change the law and find a hefty pot of cash to grease the transition.

Additional staff, computer upgrades and other resources are essential for cops, crime labs, prosecutors and courts to meet new deadlines.

And since nearly all defendants, except the most violent, will go free without having to post bail, funds are likewise needed to boost pretrial services (drug screenings, reminders to return to court).

Nor does Soares much credit Team Cuomo’s claims that the budget provides $200 million for counties to use for their criminal-justice needs. For starters, he says, the money isn’t earmarked for that, so counties may well put it toward other uses.

And it’ll be divided between 57 counties (those in the city aren’t eligible) — meaning each will get an average of just $3.5 million to be further split among dozens of police forces, prosecutors, courts and other parts of the criminal-justice world. It’s a drop in the bucket, that is — at most.

Changes in the law are also vital to prevent witness intimidation and to keep defendants from fleeing or hiding proceeds from crimes.

The biggest common-sense fix: Let judges weigh whether defendants are a danger to the public before setting them free with no bail. Absent that, New York would be the only state in the nation without a cash-bail requirement to deny judges that right.

Soares, a progressive, backs reform. “Bail, discovery and trial speeds needed to be reformed,” he wrote in The Post last month. Yet “what Albany delivered instead were laws dismantling order.”

Lawmakers have six months to clean up their mess. Or New York will pay the price.
