Misleading claims about Illinois cash bail law circulate online

Online posts and fake newspapers circulating in Illinois claim a law provides for the automatic release of accused criminals across the US state. This is misleading; while legislation passed in 2021 does eliminate cash bail, legal experts say judges can still jail those who may pose a threat to...

That article is a lie. Would you like to be the first victim of a criminal they release without bail?

Pay attention. There is no correlation between an increase in crime and cashless bail. But thanks for proving my point.

Anyone that REALLY believes that, Berg is incredibly naive! Of course cashless bail increased crime! It's hard for a criminal to commit more crimes when they're in jail. It's easy when they know they'll be out in a matter of hours if they get caught.

Berg lacks common sense. Of course they're going to go out and commit more crimes, that has already proved itself to
be the case. Berg just ignores reality.

Progressive policies have cratered so bad that those on the far left KNOW they're in trouble next week so they're just flat out lying about what's happening! The border is secure! Inflation isn't that bad! It's Putin and the Oil Companies that are to blame for high gas prices! Crime is worse in places run by Republicans! They actually think people are going to buy the crap they're selling! They're out of their minds...but then again...what choice do they have?

If you want to understand why Repubs are competitive in elections (besides gerrymandering) despite favoring unpopular policy positions on just about every major issue, this post provides an explanation. In a nutshell, it's their unmatched ability to exploit the public's ignorance and spread disinformation on wedge issues.

DEBUNKING LIES ABOUT BAIL REFORM

Ahead of the 2022 legislative session, there has been an increased appeal from those opposed to criminal legal reforms to change certain New York State laws, such as the pretrial reforms that went into effect in the first half of 2020. Those reforms prohibited cash bail for certain misdemeanors and nonviolent offenses, so that thousands of individuals – all of whom are considered innocent of their charges until proven otherwise – could take care of their families, keep their jobs, and work with their attorneys to prepare their cases.

The calls for rollbacks to bail reform claim these bail law changes have caused an increase in violent crime across the state, stoking public safety concerns about the law’s impact. However, a closer look shows that these claims are either based on no evidence or on faulty data.

Fact-checking claims bail reform is driving increase in violent crime

During a congressional hearing in late June, Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, suggested reforms eliminating cash bail could partially be to blame for the recent spike in crime. Graham asked FBI Director Christopher Wray if he believed “one of the reasons crime is on the rise is that certain jurisdictions have basically eliminated 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.

As is often the case, the foundation for the disinformation being spread about the connection between cashless bail and increased crime is created from another steaming pile of horse shyte.

Fact check: The GOP’s dishonesty-filled barrage of ‘defund the police’ attack ads

WashingtonCNN —
Republicans have been running ads around the country that use a variety of dishonest tactics to try to create the inaccurate impression that the Democratic candidates they are targeting support defunding the police.

Some of the Republican ads simply make things up. Other ads falsely describe bills the Democratic candidates have supported. Still other ads try guilt by association, noting that the candidates have supporters who have called to defund the police but not mentioning that the candidates themselves have rejected defunding the police.

One particularly egregious guilt-by-association ad accuses a Democrat of marching with a pro-defunding progressive group without providing evidence of the supposed marching and without noting that the event in question was a local “Fun Fest” that took place nearly three years before the group endorsed defunding.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/23/politics/fact-check-defund-the-police-ads-2022-midterms/index.html

In short, Repubs seized on an increase in crime all over the country during the pandemic to weave a duplicitous narrative combining falsehoods about cashless bail and "defund the police".........the mis-named idea that police violence could be mitigated by reallocating funds within police depts.........., to come up with the campaign slogan that Dems are soft on crime. In typical fashion, Dems have not created an effective counter narrative. In part because the simplistic messaging by Repubs requires complexity to refute.

There is no one better than the left when it comes to convincing people that Republicans are fighting a war against everything and everyone.

You wont SEE increases in crime if the DA's office is TOTALLY IGNORING sentencing guidelines and police reports. THey are NOT CHARGING ENHANCEMENTS (no gun crimes, no obvious intent, IE)


These cities MADE it legal to SHOPLIFT. You can walk out of the SAME DAMN CVS store EVERYday untouched -- if you keep it under $900 bucks. VIOLENT ASSAULTS being charged as MISDEAMENORS so that YOU CAN CLAIM -- "it's all legal".


Putting in these WOKE DAs with Soros money and letting them TEAR UP the law and justice is the MOST TYRANNICAL power that ONE PERSON CAN have. They can fire long-time prosecutors - and replace with RADICAL LEFTIST "public defenders" who all imagine "emptying the prisons" is a GIFT to the city.

In SEVERAL of these cities seized by radicals -- the ENTIRE OFFICE of the prosecutors HAVE WALKED OUT -- both Repubs and Dems. And MOSTLY Dems. '

The crime numbers are now meaningless, because "the book of law" has been TOSSED OUT by the DA and prosecutors.

Top Democratic prosecutors revolt against criminal justice reform law they say will 'destroy' Illinois

A Democratic state’s attorney in the Chicago-area is among many prosecutors suing the Illinois governor to stop a law he says will “destroy the criminal justice system” in his state.

www.foxnews.com

Critics of the law take issue with some of those provisions, including ending cash bail; prohibiting judges from considering a defendant's previous behavior when determining whether he or she is a flight risk; allowing a 48-hour period between the time a defendant on electronic monitoring leaves home without permission and the time authorities can charge that person with escape; and new police training policies without additional funding for departments.

Glasgow, one of the most high-profile state prosecutors to come out against the SAFE-T Act, is joined by 100 of 102 Democratic and Republican state's attorneys in Illinois who oppose the law.

ILLINOIS SAFE-T ACT: FORMER CHICAGO-AREA POLICE CHIEF, PROSECUTOR SOUND ALARM OVER FAST-TRACKED SAFETY LAW

Under the SAFE-T Act, second-degree murder, aggravated assault, drug offenses, intimidation, carjacking, and arson will not be detainable offenses unless the suspect is proven to be a flight risk or risk to public safety.

Your inept, dishonest, evil party IS STILL AT IT TODAY in Chicago. And like a useful DUPE -- you're making excuses for them and giving them cover.

Same deal with the Waukeshaw Christmas parade slaughter. This guy NEVER should have been let out.

The life and crimes of accused Waukesha Christmas parade killer Darrell Brooks

Darrell Brooks, 39, allegedly used a red Ford Escape to plow through revelers at an annual Christmas celebration in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Sunday, but his life of crime started 22 years ago when h…

nypost.com

Brooks was facing 10 years behind bars for the crime — the heaviest sentence he faced so far but when the court was unable to guarantee him a speedy trial due to a backlog of cases and COVID-19-related delays, he was released in February 2021 on a $500 bail.

From there, Brooks went to Georgia, where he was arrested for misdemeanor battery with a designation of family violence a little over three months after he got out of jail, prosecutors said in a Waukesha courtroom on Tuesday.

The final straw​

Following Brooks’ troubles in Georgia, he made his way back to Wisconsin, where his penchant for violence bubbled up again while he was staying at the American Inn motel in Milwaukee’s Lenox Heights neighborhood with his ex-girlfriend.

Brooks allegedly accosted the woman and knocked her cellphone out of her hand and then went after her in his Ford Escape when she fled.

He caught up with her at a BP gas station about a half mile from the motel and demanded she get in his car, court records allege. When she refused, he struck her in the face and then ran her over with his car, leaving the woman with “swelling to her lip and dry blood on her face” and “tire tracks on her left pants leg,” police said.

The ex-girlfriend later told cops that Brooks had allegedly threatened to kill her on multiple occasions, had previously tried to choke her and was jealous and controlling, according to police reports obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Brooks denied the allegations and suggested to police the woman made them up because she was drunk.

He ended up being charged with recklessly endangering safety, bail jumping, battery and disorderly conduct in the incident but was given an “inappropriately low” bail of $1,000, Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm later said, leaving him free to wreak havoc on the Christmas parade about three weeks later.

Pay attention. There is no correlation between an increase in crime and cashless bail. But thanks for proving my point.

The evidence is in front of your face. The prisons were being emptied (using Covid initially as the excuse) and the woke murderous DAs were refusing to FULLY charge CAREER CRIMINALS who re-offended.

The evidence is - If you PREMATURELY ALLOW a career criminal back out on the STREETS under ANY conditions -- Their chance of REOFFENDING with similar or more HEINOUS crimes is over 45% in FIVE year follow-ups..

THERE is your evidence. So -- if the guy is out on parole or PREVIOUS bond and commits a crime and YOU STILL put them back on the street -- THEY ARE gonna re-offend at a rate TOO HIGH for proper public safety.

All common sense is DRAINED from these fatally misguided WOKE policies.

I'm ALL FOR proper "justice reform". This is just URBAN ASSISTED SUICIDE.

 

[Lesh]

Of course cashless bail increased crime!

Berg lacks common sense. Of course they're going to go out and commit more crimes

Cashless bail concerns ONLY misdemeanors and non-violent offenses.

You cynical lying bastards
