Just make sure you show up or he'll come looking for you.
Women and children of bail bondsmen hardest hit.
My personal opinion is that just as I try to avoid certain countries, I also try to avoid certain cities.
Just make sure you show up or he'll come looking for you.
Is this guy an idiot? Drunk?
He spends all his time here writing about how bad jail is. Then he wants to end the bail process that would get you OUT of jail?
Idiot.
A judge also used a person’s wealth and resources to flee to set bail.
As a judge who also magistrates, it’s been my experience that many of the people I see in jail have been arrested on warrants for not only the underlying offense, but for failure to appear after having released on personal recognizance bonds. I believe there’s a better way, but just release on PR bond isn’t it for many offenders.
Bounty Hunters do a great job of making sure as many folks go to court as they promised. DemocRATS want them off Scott Free for they're votes. It's all about votes folks and the DemocRATS will get them illegally and any way they can so they can Overturn America and Implement Command and Control Socialism.
Do you Doubt it?
Now I KNOW everything in this article is a lie. Common sense has never even seen this guy at a distance, much less had a conversation with him.
Here's a novel idea: Don't break the law. Problem solved.
Bail should be obsolete. Unless you’ve committed assault, rape or murder, there’s no reason to hold anyone behind bars.
Anything to keep a certain group out of prison and the crime records.
If the accused has no history of violence, has strong ties to the community—a stable family, a steady job, owns a home, lives with and supports his children, etc., low bail or no bail will be the case.
However, someone with no fixed address, no strong ties to the community, no steady job, a history of violence, etc. presents a flight risk.
In general I'm in favor of eliminating onerous bail. The most outrageous and unconstitutional case is that of Paul Manafort. His bail has been set at $10,000,000. That's TEN MILLION DOLLARS for someone accused of a nonviolent, white collar crime, someone with strong ties to society and the community.
Horrible murderers and violent criminals have lower bail set. Manafort poses no flight risk, or danger to anyone. Anyone with half a brain knows that if convicted Paul Manfort will be pardoned eventually. Mueller's case is an exercise in futility.
This is completely unconstitutional. If that is not unconstitutional, then nothing is. I'm surprised why all the civil rights zealots like the NYT, Washington Post, ACLU, and other have not taken up this cause.
So, not offering bail at all is the new work around to forbidding excessive bail?
That’s like, oh, I don’t know, requiring people to register their guns online but not having a website for them to do it.
It’s okay because it’s just an administrative concern and they weren’t INTENDING to make you a criminal because you can’t obey their regulation. *nudge*wink*
Suspect in Waterloo homicides arrested twice for domestic violence in June
Oh, my bad. I misread.
Let’s not have bail AT ALL.
How Open Borders of the judge....
OMG, you mean if I go to jail, I can't bring my kids with me? They are going to 'rip them out of my arms'??? Oh, the horror!
Then keep them all in jail in solitary confinement 2 hours from their lawyers like you’re doing to Paul Manafort.
Here’s an idea - don’t commit any crimes and you won’t be arrested.
Just put explosive collars around their necks. If they fail to show up for the hearing, just push the button.
