By all means, end it. Keep criminal predators in jail, your families will be much safer.

Washington DC and Philadelphia should be watched as potential models for eliminating cash bail.

Let me see if I have this right- people should not be able to bond themselves out with cash? That CRIMINALS should have sympathy because they can’t bond out? Because the county uses cash bonds from others for different things than bonding out the guy who broke into your home and held your family at gun point? Ok, makes sense.That having cash to bond out is “classist”, yeah, cuz drug dealers don’t bond out with cash 😂 What happened to the philosophy of being accountable for your own actions? We are supposed to feel bad when someone commits a CRIME and can’t get out of jail? Isn’t that poor planning on the criminals part? You do the crime, you do the time.Excessive bond? An inmate can apply for a public defender and ask for reduced bond. And why the HELL, should I, the taxpayer pay for support of CRIMINALS to get them through to their court date? Are y’all serious with this garbage? That is how they get to Rice St. How about this? Those of you who support this- go bond the criminal of your choice out, support him, help him get a PD, let him live in your home, then once he goes to court, you get your money back.... that’s how bond works... I can’t believe how very Democrat this sounds. This is not Libertarian, Libertarian’s accept accountability for their own actions, and expect the same from others, criminals included. This is more proof that this country is screwed

Oh, also... how would you like the criminals who don’t have the cash to bond out? I’m sure they all have property to put up, aren’t you? Bondsmen? Is the party supported by bonding companies? They are the only ones who would make money here. Cash bonds also go into paying restitution and fines once court is over. That means criminals are off probation sooner, taking the weight off of an already overloaded case log. Bond out on Grandma’s property, now Grandma is on the hook when Grandson doesn’t complete his probation, flees or commits another crime. Grandma loses her house... Thought this through at all? Anyone?
