Assembly Rebellion

Rank-and-file Democrats in the Assembly are starting to revolt over the new bail law — because their constituents are furious. We doubt Speaker Carl Heastie’s effort to calm them down with closed-door briefings will turn the tide.

Normally, the Assembly is allergic to anything that even resembles getting tough on crime. But now complaints are coming from downstate Democrats as well as upstaters: They’re all opening their daily newspapers to find new horror stories.

Outrages like the Long Island man arrested for DWI in a fatal crash who taunted cops, “F - - k you, January 1st the laws changed . . . I’ll be out tomorrow” — and was proved right.

Or the fact just uncovered by The Post: Judges in the city can’t order electronic monitoring of suspects that the new law makes them release, because the “reforms” also forced local governments to find new nonprofit vendors for “ankle bracelets” — and the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice hasn’t managed to hire one yet.

So much for Heastie’s claim this week that the judge could’ve ordered electronic monitoring of those alleged fentanyl dealers released under the new law.

One judge told The Post, “I feel sick. I’m releasing defendants who are dangers to their community.”

Heastie & Co. have no excuse: The Post has been sounding the alarm for the past 10 months. And that was after the state DAs association and other law enforcement officials pointed out huge problems.

Each day that Heastie lets pass without committing to revisiting the law’s flaws is another day for new outrages and public anger to continue building.

Some voters have vowed not to sign nominating petitions for state legislators seeking re-election. Will that get Heastie’s attention?

He’s going to have to bend, sooner or later — and sooner is far better for all concerned.
