ā¢ NY bail reform sparks criticism from local law enforcement officials (mytwintiers.com) ā Chemung County Sheriff Bill Schrom is raising concerns about New Yorkās bail reform, saying repeat offenders can cycle through the system on appearance tickets while victims feel unprotected. Alongside Steuben Countyās sheriff, he describes how domestic violence and similar charges now often lead to quick release instead of jail or bail, contrasting New Yorkās rules with stricter Pennsylvania practices.
