Cashless-bail fail: Major fentanyl traffickers no-show on California court date

New York isn’t the only state with an inexplicable own-recognizance story today. Fox News reports that two fentanyl traffickers captured by California failed to show up for their court date yesterday. Police found 150,000 tablets of the dangerous narcotic in their possession during the arrest, and it looked like law enforcement had hobbled an important distribution node for the lethal drug on June 24.
Despite holding $750,000 in street value of fentanyl, the California court considered the pair “low risk” and withdrew the requirement for a bond on bail. And no one should be surprised by what happened next:
~Snip~
Two traffickers caught with $750K of fentanyl — a highly dangerous drug even in casual contact — got assessed as “low risk”? How did that happen? The whole point of arresting and charging Zendejas and Madrigal was to prevent them from creating a very large risk to the public. Fentanyl ain’t weed, after all — it kills people regularly, and is so prevalent that law enforcement has had to make Narcan a regular part of their first-aid kits.
~Snip~
Hopefully, law enforcement will find Zendejas and Madrigal and return them to custody to face their charges. I suspect, however, that they’ve made it out of the state and perhaps out of the country by now, thanks to the idiotic policies of California’s prosecutors and courts. But as Boudreaux points out, the real problem here is the wide-open borders of the Biden administration and the lack of public attention to its consequences. In this case, everyone except law enforcement is a no-show.


Commentary:
I’m really surprised that no one else don’t say this.
Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrats funded by Soros groups control and are working with the drug cartels, along with the Chinese suppliers of fentanyl.
Could it be any more obvious? Every policy is designed to aid the cartels, especially Bidens Open Border policy.
Really, who would of thunk it? Released with no bail and expected to show up. They're either molding in a grave or sunning themselves on a Playa in Mexico drinking Mojito's

But it's not a fail to the Democrats.

They are the party of felons, criminals, murder and mayhem.

And they do their best to serve their constituents.

And, it is reciprocated:


1. Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor wants to give jailbirds the right to vote. It's her opinion that the federal Voting Rights Act can be used to force states to allow voting by currently imprisoned felons. Ms. Sotomayor's dissenting opinion in a 2006 felon-voting case should make senators extremely wary of confirming her for the high court.
Ms. Sotomayor is thus in the position of asserting that Congress can prohibit New York from doing something the Constitution itself specifically endorses. It's as if she thinks black and Hispanic felons are convicted in order to deny them the vote, rather than that they are denied the vote as a result of being duly convicted. Her position ignores the fact that it is the convicts' own actions, their crimes - not any state-based racial discrimination - that make those felons ineligible to vote.

As almost every state has done since the United States was founded, New York forbids currently incarcerated or paroled prisoners from voting. Some states go even farther by prohibiting some felons from voting even after they have served their sentences. New York's law is not so stringent. It only applies to felons still under criminal sentences. It equally applies to all felons, black or white.

There is growing evidence that Judge Sotomayor believes some races are more equal than others."
Democrats want to let convicted felons and felons in prison vote! Do you think this should be allowed or not? EDITORIAL: The franchise for felons

2. The system is the keystone of the Democrat's drive to shrink the number of Nevadans who can vote but aren't registered - a figure believed to be north of 600,000. The huge list of postcard recipients was generated from voter registration, Department of Motor Vehicles and federal databases with the goal of contacting eligible, unregistered voters.

But Barton isn't eligible to vote. She isn't a U.S. citizen.

"Honestly, I get jury duty summons as well," she said last week. "I tell them I'm not a U.S. citizen and that's it, I'm good to go. But nobody wants to do jury duty, and there are big stakes in this election. There's such a push on people to go, go, go and vote. Something like this (postcard) can have an influence on people. Both parties are so dependent on turnout this year."

And what about felons?

"There's no database out there that lists people who have been convicted of a felony and not had their civil rights restored," he said. "We don't have it. Nobody in the country does."

So felons got the postcards?

"We've actually received phone calls from people who've said, 'I'm a felon and I got this card,' " Gilles said. Clerks can offer guidance on how felons can restore their right to vote.

The postcards say "you may (my emphasis added) be eligible to vote," and they say you must be a U.S. citizen to register. But it's in small type, and the qualifiers are dwarfed by the big photo of Miller's handsome mug (getting a head start on that run for attorney general, eh, Ross?).

The registration website has some security measures. Once you choose between English and Spanish (don't even get me started on that), the first screen asks you to confirm that you're a U.S. citizen and warns that falsifying your registration is a felony.

But there really isn't anything to stop an especially motivated noncitizen or felon from registering despite ineligibility. You enter your first and last name, your date of birth, your DMV identification number and the last four digits of your Social Security number. If the information matches up with state and federal records, that's it. You're registered to vote. The signature from your DMV identification card is digitally stored as the signature on your voter registration.

Then you just show up at the polls and vote.

If Nevada's online voter registration system can't verify whether new voters are noncitizens or felons, it needs to. And if Nevada can't build the database itself or in cooperation with other states and the federal government, it shouldn't have online voter registration in the first place. It certainly shouldn't invite noncitizens and felons to use the system. Las Vegas News | Breaking News & Headlines | Las Vegas Review-Journal



3. Currently jailed felons are only allowed to vote in Maine and Vermont. Democrats would like to change state laws so all currently jailed inmates even those with felony records can vote including those out on parole and awaiting release from prison. With 5.8 million convicts that is a lot of votes. Democrats also know that 80 percent of all felons polled would vote democrat so now we can see the reason behind the push for prisoner rights.

Democrats point to the laws in other countries like Canada, Denmark and Israel that allow most convicted criminals even those who are serving prison sentences the right to vote. Democrats also are saying the law banning prisoners the right to vote disenfranchises African Americans the most who make up 40 percent of felons in the United States. In a Huffington Post interview, The Sentencing Project calls the law into question and says, “This is a fundamental question of democracy”.

Victim rights advocates call the push by democrats “insulting” and a “slap in the face to all victims of crime”. This issue will not be decided in time for this election, but democrats say they will continue to fight for a prisoner’s right to vote in all local and national elections."

Jail survey: 7 in 10 felons register as Democrats​

....most convicts register Democratic, a key reason in why liberal lawmakers and governors are eager for them to get back into the voting booth after their release.



... in some states, felons register Democratic by more than six-to-one. In New York, for example, 61.5 percent of convicts are Democrats, just 9 percent Republican. They also cited a study that found 73 percent of convicts who turn out for presidential elections would vote Democrat.

the following Democrat-to-Republican breakdown in felon party registration patterns:

– New York: 61.5 percent register Democratic, 9 percent register Republican

– New Mexico: 51.9 percent Democratic, 10.2 percent Republican

– North Carolina: 54.6 percent Democratic, 10.2 percent Republican Jail survey: 7 in 10 felons register as Democrats

The outcome of the arrest of these two criminals was predicted the day they're bail was reduced to zero.
