 A. 8932 2

 1 to an identifiable person or property, or any charge of criminal
 2 possession of a firearm as defined in section 265.01-b of the penal law,
 3 provided, however, that the prosecutor must show reasonable cause to
 4 believe that the defendant committed the instant crime and any underly-
 5 ing crime. For the purposes of this [subparagraph] paragraph, any of the
 6 underlying crimes need not be a qualifying offense as defined in this
 7 subdivision. For the purposes of this paragraph, "harm to an identifi-
 8 able person or property" shall include but not be limited to theft of or
 9 damage to property. However, based upon a review of the facts alleged in
 10 the accusatory instrument, if the court determines that such theft is
 11 negligible and does not appear to be in furtherance of other criminal
 12 activity, the principal shall be released on [his or her] the princi-
 13 pal's own recognizance or under appropriate non-monetary conditions;
 14 [or]
 15 (u) criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree as defined in
 16 subdivision three of section 265.02 of the penal law or criminal sale of
 17 a firearm to a minor as defined in section 265.16 of the penal law[.];
 18 or
 19 (v) aggravated reckless endangerment as defined in section 120.26 of
 20 the penal law.
