Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has signed an executive order he
says will shed light on the effect bail reform has had on the community.
Blakeman says it will allow residents to learn more about the potential
threat these laws are to their safety.
"As I have
said repeatedly, judges should have the sole discretion to determine if
someone is a danger to the community or a flight risk," says Blakeman.
The order is part
of Blakeman's continued call to fully repeal the cashless bail laws that were
passed by the Legislature two years ago.
It comes amid a
recent uptick in crime in Nassau.
