During a press conference, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch criticized current laws that facilitate the release of dangerous offenders and highlighted declining prosecution rates. She urged for changes in Albany, particularly concerning the discovery law, which allows many offenders to escape accountability. Tisch shared a specific case to illustrate these issues, indicating the importance of stricter bail decisions by judges to maintain public safety. The Commissioner expressed her concerns about systemic failures contributing to crime persistence in New York.
Tisch stated, "We need some laws to change up in Albany. Top of mind right now for sure is the discovery law, which allows too many people out on technicalities that have absolutely no bearing on the outcome of the case."
Tisch emphasized the necessity for judges to prioritize public safety, saying, "We need our judges to step up and do the right thing, especially in cases where bail is eligible and bail is called for, to keep dangerous criminals off the streets."
