How is cashless bail soft on crime?
If someone wanted to, they could flee the state and go commit more crimes elsewhere. It happens with repeat offenders too. I get it's to get to be more fair, but I think the execution was wrong.
So it's ok for that to happen with people who have the money to get out but not poor people?
I don't think you understand how bail works. It's not always granted and cash bail doesn't solve the issue you raised.
It's not poor people who commit crimes. Crimes happen at all levels. BUT, how about don't commit any crimes in the first place?! Ever thought about that?! I get mistakes happen and issues arise for innocent people. Been there, done that. But at the same time, bigger crimes have bigger bail, and it's harder to "accidentally" commit bigger crimes.
Do you guys get to pick out your own dunce cap color, or is it assigned to you by a manager? Is the specific color something that changes as skills improve, kind of like a karate belt?
