Also I have never heard of anyone facing prison time for pot

Trafficking? Sure.

well one of your presidential candidates did keep criminals past their sentences just so they was to be used as slave labour

They pay a fine if it's illegal and get a license suspended if driving

@Nordhand Yes, she's a monster

Okay, we call such people evil

And they should be in prison for it

If its true

The ETHOS is still with us in this regard.

Unlike in Europe where the ethos seems to be "assume guilt until proven innocent"

so the US system of just bribe the judge so you can run away is better?

Or work as a cop. @Nordhand

*'Your justice system and philosophy is terrible.'*

*'Reee!! You had a bad woman do stuff!'*

You think that bail is a bribe?

And confiscate up to 500 dollars off of people whenever you want <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868> @Nordhand

@Nordhand It's not a bribe

The judge doesn't get anything from bail lol

naa the state get it.

If you dont show up

So by your view, make sure they never turn up

...So you have the choice to not show up?

Huh.

You get a warrant for your arrest if you fail to answer a court summons.

If we believe you are at risk of fleeing the jurisdiction, and your crime offers bail (some dont), we might deny you bail

"If we believe you are at risk of fleeing the jurisdiction, and your crime offers bail (some dont), we might deny you bail"

What happeend in sweden

We just dont have a bail

This is done after we have a prosecution prepared.

So the guy was kept

Yeah sorry senpai @MountainMan imprisoning someone for 2 weeks for a street fight without having to charge them with anything is retarded to say the least

Even if the prison is 5 star hotel

Wasted money

Sorry mate but in Canada you cant even get bail if you think the guy might escape. And we thought the might escape. @GeorgyBoyo

blame the key witness that refused to speak to the cops. up to that point he did look like the aggressor

And the prosecution must present a good arguement as to why they fear they will flee.

Everything could've been resolved in a couple days had the witness not been a bitch

just as we have it here. a person with his own private jet on standby at private airport is a high flight risk I say

So you just have to tell someone to shut their mouth and free people get tossed in a nice cushioned cell for weeks?

There is nothing to improve in this situation?

Ender. In the US if the court thinks you'll run they'll deny you bail and keep you jailed. Whats the difference?

Over here we just dont have bail. If we know they'll show up they'll be free until courtdate

I get that he might have "escaped" I agree but 2 weeks without any charges <:gun_mouth:510320222365024268>
