How much?
Jesus Christ you are insufferable.
--lol
Why are you getting so mad?
Everything has to be about you and your obsessions.
We just want answers.
Every fucking conversation you're in has to revolve around you.
o: Answer the question silly.
Are you this bad in real life?
My goodness.
Why are you stalling.
This nigga is really struggling. C'man fella.
don't worry, this could be worse.... it could be cali where they got ride of bail.
bail paid by taxpayer money? 😛
ABOLISH PROFITS
tbh, never got the point of bail.
Nor do I.
"hey, lets let the rich go free to fuck with people again but keep the poor locked up."
Probably a holdover from the Victorian era
Jackie Brown had a good take on bails
Bail should be relative to a persons income, Rich people paying lots is good money
"Poor people get trapped, but true megalomaniacs can go."
either you are a danger of running or of committing a crime again, or you are not. none of this "you must make x money to be considered not a danger"
So noblemen wouldn't be forced to stay in Newgate with the rabble.
"This is an outrage. I want to go back to my volcano base. I have money!!"
"Oh. Sorry about that sir. Where are the keys.."
```Bail should be relative to a persons income, Rich people paying lots is good money```
Nah nah nah, this would be a RENAISSANCE of crooked police.
Too much profit for all the wrong reasons.
i wouldn't be fine with getting rid of bail all together and just make those who would or are on bail go free until their court date. If they miss their court date, they get a bounty on their head.
I think the idea originally was,
Rich people have assets which they can't just run away with, so are inclined to stay
Whilst poor people can just leave the country and try somewhere else
Imagine if that were the case during the OJ trial.
The accusations that the police did outlandish planting would suddenly become VERY BELIEVABLE
You don't want that.
Bail itself is just strange.
As it stands I think people perceive bail as being a remedy for spurious charges. If the state was competent enough such that the overwhelming majority of those arrested would actually be convicted, I think bail would be abolished.
@Dr.Wol if that was the thought, that person is very naive. Given that rich people would have the money to leave the country in a hurry while poor people can mostly just walk and run. i.e. much easier to find a running poor person than a rich one.
Thats currently, cuz money is electronic
If you're deemed a flight risk they won't set bail.
A few hundred years ago that logic would have held. Not today of course.
bail only gets you out of waiting in jail for your court date.
