I am torn about this. What about a poor working person making minimum wage gets accused of a crime who can’t afford bail amount. Sits in jail, loses their job, then they find out via trial, person didn’t commit the crime.
If convicted of major crime like murder then no, there should be cash bond amount.
If minor crimes, I would be in favor of ankle tracking bracelets.
That is slavery, plain and simple. Give me an example of a crime that requires slavery to the state? If you steal a mans wallet, its a crime, if you assault the man, its a crime. Anything that is called a crime but involves no complainant is not a crime except if a third party needs to step in to protect someone unable to stand up for themselves. Crimes against “The State” are not really crimes. They exist only because the State is doing things it shouldn’t under the Constitution. I can hardly think of a crime that does not require an injured party in a logical system, yet the State will load up charges on a gas station robbery 10 ways from Sunday. All the way down to lying to the police to get out of trouble. Why in Gods name is that a crime, when our President and candidates openly lie all the time to the same authorities?
hat’s actually what mostly happens. It’s hard enough to get the county or state to keep people IN incarceration who really need to be there.
