Bail is such an American concept. Break the law, but if you have money you can avoid some of the consequences, because of course rich people should be treated better
I entirely agree with you, it’s a poverty penalty and should be abolished entirely -except for- the wealthy, who -should- be required to post bail to walk free, as a got-caught-being-antisocial wealth tax. :)
So so many things about the American police state need to be fixed, really.
Wasn’t bail only set at 200k? So like a token gesture, really.
Normal people don’t get that much leniency… I’d be surprised if we get a mugshot, but Godzilla do I want it.
Some states are switching to cashless bail by default because there’s so many people rotting in jail for not having $100 to their name.
Good. They absolutely should switch
