[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone clarify....arrestees for violent offenses are just not released, right? They're at least making a distinction between 'breaking into cars' and 'caught with some meth' versus 'rapes on the WOD trail' or armed robbery, right? right?[/quote] The ignorance about our own justice system is astonishing. Eliminating cash bail doesn't mean everyone gets released pretrial. As someone noted, the federal system doesn't have cash bail, and people who are considered dangerous to the community are held pending trial. It just means that people who are not considered dangerous to others don't sit in jail for the sole reason that they can't pay bail.[/quote]
