There is a tsunami coming in New York, and it will cross all political boundaries, crashing over differences of race, religion, class and neighborhood. It will be a force few elected officials can withstand, and it will have the power to sweep away political careers on Election Night.

I’m speaking of the public’s pent-up revulsion at the so-called bail reform enacted by a progressive-dominated Legislature.

While proponents deliberately obscured it from public scrutiny during its drafting, many elected officials, including mayors, judges, district attorneys and law enforcers voiced their concern that this law would be a catastrophic mistake.

Among other things, the law is forcing judges to grant criminals “early release” by severely limiting their discretion in setting bail. It also grants criminal defendants with unprecedented discovery power to potentially cripple investigations and/or intimidate victims and witnesses.

In 2020, communities across the Empire State will face the release of thousands of defendants charged with serious crimes. Already, we are seeing criminals being released before their victims have time to return home from the emergency room. Very few people arrested for even the most serious crimes will face detention, and having them show up for trial will be playing the long odds.

Voters will be equally stunned to discover that changes in the pretrial discovery procedures now allow defendants to demand detailed personal information on victims and witnesses’ identities, including photos, home addresses and electronic records.

Imagine a victim of a burglary is forced to turn over pictures of the inside of a home, cellphone numbers and data to a defendant while that same defendant is likely out on the street under the drastically loosened new bail rules. Or a witness to a crime is forced to give up his or her identity and personal information even before a trial has begun. This is a dangerous prescription for terrorizing victims and witnesses, suppressing justice and rewarding criminals.

Fear will grip law-abiding citizens. Whether it’s going for a container of milk, cashing the paycheck, leaving a parking lot at work or walking in the park with family, the criminal will now hold the high ground.

The only solution is going to be the reform of that “reform,” and those elected officials who stand in the way of that agenda are going to find themselves called to account on Election Day.

A bipartisan bill (Senate Bill 6861) has already been introduced to prevent a crime epidemic. It aims to restrain “defendants who pose a threat to public safety, to allow greater judicial discretion in setting a securing order with respect to a defendant’s prior felony convictions, failure to make an appearance in court or subsequent arrests while awaiting trial.”

Every voter, every resident and every law-abiding citizen should become an advocate, so that when the state Senate convenes this year, this issue is pushed to the top of the legislative roll call.

The respected and influential New York Conference of Mayors, representing mayors of both parties across the state, has taken a strong stance against the lousy “reform,” citing both the danger to the public and the enormous cost this unfunded mandate imposes on localities. They know full well what is at stake, and the growing political firestorm that will occur if this defective reform strategy is allowed to stand.

Alas, so far there is no matching bill in the even harder-left Assembly to confront and eliminate the flaws in this “bail-reform” legislation. Albany-area Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara has indicated he will be introducing such a proposal as the Legislature returns to work this year, but the progressive ideologues will surely seek to kill it quickly.

Here’s some advice for someone who has long been a student of grassroots New York politics.

When legislators abdicate their core responsibility to protect their constituents, democracy is grievously harmed by felons who cynically mock the very “reforms” placed on the books. A backlash is coming. The progressive revolution will spark unstoppable public anger, and that’s salutary, indeed. Because public anger will be the vehicle that returns sane, rational, two-party rule to Albany.
