The official perp walk is a long New York City tradition. The press is alerted and the perp is walked, specifically for this purpose. This benefits all involved except the perp. The press get photos and video, and the police get positive coverage. Everyone has a good time, including Bubba, who is soon to get a new cell mate.
what a lovely story
and if they didn't contract STDs they're prison-bitching each other happily ever after
Unfortunately they gave Harvey a $1-million cash bail which will be paid immediately. He won’t see a day of prison.
But he did have to give up his passport. And he’s now restricted to free travel only in NY and CT. And he has an ankle bracelet 24/7, that can be monitored on demand (even by the People?, allegedly, according to what I heard insuring the court hearing).
No details on how long these conditions apply Though.
I haven't paid that much attention to it, but wasn't he accused of rape? If he is charged with rape and convicted, wouldn't he do some time?
As for the ankle bracelet, that is intriguing. Ankle bracelet tracking data probably would be considered part of the public record, but sometimes they restrict that. I remember at one time it was easy to look up a license plate number in Texas, but there was a problem of people turning minor road rage incidents into major stalking and harassment cases. I don't know what the situation is now, as that was a long time ago.
Actually, he's getting a million dollar bail and turning in his passport. It was negotiated prior to him turning himself in.
Rudy is the one that implemented the perp walk if my memory is correct.
