Starting Jan 1, if you rob a bank in New York City with just a note and no weapon, it's considered non-violent and there is no jail or bail, they are allowed free. This is gonna be a thing, but the dude is hysterical...

Because Woodberry allegedly robbed using a note, rather than a gun, no New York jail can currently hold him, no matter how many times he strikes.
His alleged grand larcenies are classified as non-violent felonies. And under the bail reform law that took effect Jan. 1, most non-violent felonies — including bank robberies carried out without a weapon — are no longer bail eligible, meaning no judge can order him held pending trial.
Should cops pinch Woodberry on the fifth alleged heist, he’ll only be sprung again.
The insanity of the new law clearly wasn’t lost on the prime suspect.
“I can’t believe they let me out,” Woodberry marveled as he retrieved his vouchered property at One Police Plaza in lower Manhattan, sources told The Post. “What were they thinking?”
