You have heard the old saying, “Do not shoot yourself in the foot” – but this exactly what the New York residents do by pouring US countries and local taxes at the Legal Assistance Association.
Most people believe that legal assistance, which is funded for the public, is present to defend the poor in court.
But he spends millions of dollars-your own incident-obtained dollars-to litigate between work and pressure to impose changes in the law that benefits criminals and policemen.
illegal Aid community is similar to it.
“It seems that the Legal Assistance Association is a hell to ignore the victim's ordeal as the police disabilities at every turn.”
Andrew Komo, the front of the Democratic Party, is in his introductory elections, adding 5,000 police to the New York police.
Kelly laughs from the pledge.
“With the presence of the rules in force, people do not want the job,” he said. Experienced policemen tell their sons and daughters no To enter power. “
The campaign of uncompromising legal assistance is a great cause.
In the last episode of Leskism, legal assistance called this month that police officers stop arresting what he calls “low -level crimes” such as theft and possession of drugs.
Instead, the group said in a letter to the city's Ministry of Investigations, that criminals must receive only summons that teach them to appear before the court at a later time, they are not transferred to a police station.
In 2021, the message noted that more than half of the small theft was launched with a mere summons – but now, lawyers of legal assistance complained, as 75 % of them were held.
This is a good Kelly said, nothing raises his prosecution.
“Every detention must have an investigation aspect,” he explained. “Is the suspect required for more serious crimes, or violating the conditional release? There is no way to discover this except for the suspect's entry into the police station.”
Why should someone be released by stealing $ 200 in CVS without arrest? The city is in the middle of the theft epidemic.
The state data shows that the suspects handed over a summons to appear in their courts for more than half the time.
Here is another dozy from the legal assistance goal: it prohibits the hands of criminals accused in court.
The legal assistance, which it calls “the removal of humanity”, has filed a lawsuit against NYPD for preventing anyone from being “absent from an individual judicial decision” necessary.
Kelly said. Handbooks “protect everyone, including judges, court staff and police. It is just a healthy sense.”
Legal assistance is opposed to using arms scanners to discover weapons that are transported to the metro, and considered it “gas”. Did her lawyer never pass through an airport, court or federal building?
Legal Aid pushes the city council to cancel the New York police gang database, describing it as a “racist tool” because almost all members of the gang are black or of Spanish origin.
But Mayor Eric Adams, who opposes the BA, says that the database helps the police to solve it and in reality It is forbidden Gang fire: “96 % of the city's shooting victims are colored people. Let's put them into consideration.”
Even Legal Aid was on the bitterness to demand that NYPD deliver photographs and tax identification numbers for all active service officers so that the group could produce the Book of Al-Qud-one of the policemen, not PERPS.
The goal: It makes it easier for its customers to determine and file complaints against the New York Police.
Even the left -wing judge Arthur Engelon, who was famous for the head of the trial of Donald Trump for the year 2024, saw this danger, and the request was rejected last month in a ruling that he said would be similar to an advertising plate in the Times Square “targeting every police officer.
Ensuring that the poor enjoy adequate legal representation is a noble goal, which deserves to support taxpayers.
But legal assistance goes beyond that, with its own words, “forming a legal scene.”
The pressure on it is largely responsible for the laws of the occurrence of losses in the state, raising the laws of age and discovering “reforms” for the year 2019 that require the public prosecutors to fulfill the final final deadlines and the participation of groups of unrelated papers with defense.
The rules of discovery enabled thousands of defendants to walk for free.
Kelly said: “The policemen risked their lives in arresting the cases that were rejected on the excessive techniques brought by these ridiculous discovery rules,” Kelly said.
The damage should stop.
We forget to spoil the police-that unharmed left idea.
Instead, Albani should be accused of pressing the classic pressure and taking in Legal Aid, along with any other non -profit that protects criminals and makes crime.
Your money is spent to make you less safe. This is crazy-a self-wound if there is ever.
