Cash Bail.

“You catch them on Monday morning and they’re out on the streets Monday afternoon,” Graham said.

While Wray did not directly answer Graham’s question, he suggested that “one of the causes of the violent crime spike are certain kinds of prosecution practices,” adding that “there’s nothing more disheartening to a law enforcement officer to see somebody that you worked hard to arrest promptly back out committing a crime again.”

Facts First: There’s no clear evidence linking bail reforms – which have been in place for years in some cities – to the recent rise in violent crimes. In fact, the majority of cities that have seen increases in crime have not eliminated cash bail. Many variables have contributed to the increases Graham is referencing but CNN has seen no evidence to suggest that bail reform is a major factor.

Bannon gets our because his pocket money and gets a good deal to begin with. He has an appeal but probably would schedule it, he is out on until his appeal goes on. His talk is bad enough to do some vicious harm to someone.

All the rich get out, cash bail doesn't belong to the rich, now you gotta have money to get out of jail.

Massaging the data. "eliminating cash bail" isn't the only issue, the issue is restricting cash bail to certain crimes only.

Here is the thing, criminals who can afford bail or a bond are more than likely to be able to support themselves while they fight their accusations. People that can't afford bail are more likely to need criminal acts to support themselves, thus leading to the "Revolving Door" effect.

And cash bail removals/restrictions is only one of the issues, Soros backed prosecutors not prosecuting low level crimes is another one. Ditto for deciding to ignore mental health issues by letting people just live on the street to get worse and worse, and then maybe violent.

So you're this stupid naturally, we knew that already.

This is the way bail worked and did in most cases. A judge could look at what a person was charged with, their past history if any and what they felt was the possibility of the person showing up for trial. If you were in for some small infraction or maybe we’ll known as a member of the community or had some reason not to just ignore your trial or run to another area. The judge would allow you out on no bail.
If you had no reason not to show up for your trial or the offense was severe. The judge could impose a bail that they felt would force you to show for the trial. If you had a prior criminal history then the bail was higher. Someone could go to a bail bond and get a large portion of the bail so they only had to come up with about 10% of the bail.
Then along came Johnny Do Good with no idea of how or why the system worked and felt it needed to be changed. Now someone that has been accused of say, aggravated assault and is out on bail can be brought in for aggravated assault on yet another then be let out to commit murder because of the change in the system.
We have thieves that allowed to rob $900.00 worth of merchandise with being arrested. We have prosecutors that do not want to prosecute.
Maybe Johnny needs to reconsider what is being perpetrated on the general public instead of just a small portion of the public

Here in California, that's an artifact of our 2014 Proposition 47. Fraudulently sold to the public as a plan to make us safer by prioritizing more serious crimes, what it really did was to de-facto decriminalize crimes deemed minor, such as any property crime causing less than $950 worth of loss to the victim.

Gangs have figured out how to exploit this, in the form of “flash mob robberies” wherein a whole bunch of them go into a store at once and pick it clean. As long as no one individual steals more than $950 worth of merchandise, police can't do anything, and neither can the store's own private security.

You have no credibility whatsoever on this topic.

Duly noted you can't refute the point... the Mormon Cult must have used too much bleach when they brainwashed you.

Here, let me help you out. How does setting bail make a criminal less dangerous?

The Dangerous ones who can afford bail are still dangerous.

The non-dangerous ones who can't aren't dangerous.

Bail doesn't prevent crime, it penalizes poverty.

And so what?

It costs $106,000 a year to incarcerate a prisoner in your state. That seems like a lot of money for a guy who ONLY stole $950 or less.

Your bizarre behavior in the USMB forum strongly suggests otherwise.

But perhaps you are just a totally natural idiot, regardless of any mind-altering stupefying dope.
