Reply to comment by Brolic_Broccoli in Surge in DWI dismissals under NY ‘discovery’ reform could lead to tragedy: cops by Brolic_Broccoli

I don’t see anything about that being about DWIs. That’s just misdemeanors total, with no indication whether or not that increase was consistent across all misdemeanors or drive by large increases in specific types as far as I can see. So you still have no idea what the actual increase in DWI dismissals are and whether or not it’s absurd or not.

EDIT: I also just noticed that you’re relying on the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank that’s been ardently ain’t bail and discovery reform since they were announced. So not exactly a non-biased source.

We're also in the comments of a NY Post article here that's literally a police op-ed.
