Taxpayers have zero responsibility to provide bail for anyone.
This is the opposite of keeping citizens safe.
We pay to have them arrested and it only stands to reason we should pay to have them released. /s
Baby, you’re not being a good citizen.
Pay taxes for the police to keep you safe.
Then pay taxes for the people the police arrest to get back on the street.
Then pay taxes to for the police to keep you safe.
Rinse and repeat.
If you don’t understand the science of that, then the King County council will declare you insane. Off to re-education for you.
Until you’re sane.
Learn to live Big Brother.
