"Abolishing money bail and replacing it with a risk-based system will enhance justice and safety."

Funny. I don't feel any safer.

Doesn’t the US Constitution guarantee the right to bail in at least some circumstances?

You feel any better?

Ha!

I’m the last person on their concern list, and you’re the next to last.

“replacing it with a risk-based system will enhance justice and safety”

Actually, I think this makes some sense.

“..........For too long, our system has allowed the wealthy to purchase their freedom regardless of their risk, while the poor who pose no danger languish in jail,”.......

Class warfare. Jerry Brown eats it up like candy. It’s the basis of all his campaigns.

Sucks to live in Nevada, cause all these losers are heading to Vegas to avoid trial. Big winners? Bounty hunters, which will soon be on the state payroll.

This sounds like what New Mexico came up with...and is the biggest part of the reason the Muslims training/abusing children to be shooters had such low bail, and it ended up being a signature bond. In their case they could not meet the other requirements to be released, as I understand they had no where to live is why they didn’t simply walk.

This is another lefty idea that sound good, the poor should not be in jail simply because they can’t raise bail. As with all lefty ideas though there are unintended consequences to consider.

“Abolishing money bail and replacing it with a risk-based system will enhance justice and safety.”

Isn’t the money based system based on risk? The greater the threat and the risk of flight, the higher the bail?

Maybe I am missing something here but that seems fair to me. If you skip bail you hurt the people who helped you out of jail.

Every illegal is a flight risk.

We tried this in Maryland.

Two things happened: Judges remanded more accused persons to custody (questionable cases that would have drawn bail in the past became cases where the individual was held until trial - what judge wants the front page of the Washington Post announcing that a judge released someone who subsequently committed a dangerous crime?); More people failed to appear for their subsequent court date after being released.

This iwill make is a worse sh*th*le than it is, faster revolving door with crowded fed, state, county and city jails and prisons overloads. Toss em back in the streets with no accountability and they will not return especially the illegals.

Anyone in California should simply do anything they want to anyone they want. There should be no consequences or even inconvenience for their actions. The public, society at large, should just get used to having zero protection from anyone for anything.

When I think of present day California, I think of the movie “Purge” and consider it a plausible action for that dying state.

I think California is very beautiful real-estate, but democrat dumba$$es have ruined it.

For the past 2 weeks my wife and I have been on a traveling vacation and I made a point to stay the heck out of that state.There is no longer anything there for me....nothing.

This catch-and-release scam isn't going to work any better for this than it does for illegal aliens.

On the bright side, the courts won't be nearly so crowded.
