Former NYPD Police Commissioner Bill Bratton became the latest critic to slam the new lax bail laws, calling the statewide criminal justice reform “a disgrace.”

“What the hell were they thinking about in Albany when they crafted this mind-boggling set of limitations on the criminal justice system?” Bratton said Sunday morning on “The Cats Roundtable” radio host John Catsimatidis Sunday on AM 970.

“They did not ask a single judge, a single district attorney, a single police chief in the state to comment on this most significant criminal justice reform in the history of New York. And now we are left to pick up the debris that it’s going to create.”

In January 2019, Albany District Attorney David Soares, speaking on behalf of the District Attorneys Association of the State of NY, testified to prosecutors’ concerns about the criminal justice reform while lawmakers were hashing out details. The NYPD, along with half a dozen district attorneys’ offices, testified about their issues with the changed discovery process and other reforms in September after the law was passed.

The former top cop in the NYPD conceded that criminal justice reform was needed, specifically the state’s cash bail system — but argued the legislation went too far.

“There’s no denying [bail] needs to be reformed but the way they did it here in New York unlike 47 of the 50 states that allow a judge to take into consideration… public safety,” Bratton said. “This isn’t reform. This is total capitulation to the criminal defense lawyers, the legal aid society, and some of our progressive legislators.”

New York’s controversial bail reform — crafted to avoid jailing people just because they were poor — has come under fire by law enforcement and lawmakers for barring judges to set bail on misdemeanor crimes or non-violent felonies despite the person’s history.

Recently, Mayor Bill de Blasio intervene to get an accused anti-Semitic attacker locked up in a psych ward after she was released twice.

“New York is now being closely looked at because of the perceived sense around the country that it has created a mess that they don’t want to repeat elsewhere in America,” Bratton said.

Despite recent calls for changes to the reform, including ones from de Blasio, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said this past week he has no plans to change the law.
