Nearly 90 percent of Nassau County suspects freed without bail in ‘dramatic spike’: stats

 Close to 90% of suspects arrested in Nassau County between July and September were freed without bail - up 2% compared with the previous quarter, startling new statistics show. It's a near free-for-all. It’s a near-free for-all..

The Nassau County executive called on state legislators to change laws that he said "give more rights to criminals than to victims."

  • Specifically, Blakeman singled out the state's cashless bail law, which eliminates money bail for most misdemeanors and non-violent felonies.
  • He asserted that because of soft-on-crime laws in New York, residents no longer feel safe and are moving to the Carolinas, Florida and Arizona.

1,416 suspects facing drug-related charges in Nassau County were freed without bail

  • up more than 2.5% compared with the same period last year
  • There were also 1,331 suspects charged with counts of larceny and 857 facing assault charges released, representing 41% and 39% increases, respectively, compared with last year's numbers
