"Bail Disruptors?"
Captain Obvious won't shut up and he's on some kind of rant about acorns and community organizing and something called soros...
They want smooth, and to be disrupting at the same time??
Apparently crime DOES pay.
I’m somewhat involved in the Bail industry, and I’m here to tell you...
... It sucks. For everyone.
I hate bail, but I know that bail is part of what makes our system so great. You don’t have to sit and rot in a cell before your court date if you are innocent. Or otherwise.
That said, when someone skips their bail everyone around them hurts. It’s heartbreaking to take their parent’s house (as collateral) when it’s their kids that did the crime.
And yes, poor people commit more crimes. And thus, the bail system is hard on poor people.
There are lots of people who go to jail “for no good reason” until you examine their placement and the statistics. And in reality, all we have to go on is statistics and real-world observation.
That black guy hanging out at the gas station who “dindunuffin” is different from me because I don’t hang out at gas stations “notdoonnuffin”
Bail is a tough industry. All around.
If a local court bail system is operating in a legal manner, accepting the position of Bail Disruptor is an admission of criminal intent.
