Illinois becomes first state to ELIMINATE cash bail: Democratic Gov. J.B Pritzker celebrates court clearing radical new policy that could free more criminals before trial
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Illinois' Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker celebrated Tuesday when his state became the first in the nation to eliminate cash bail

  • He said detainment will now be determined by the 'danger an individual poses' as opposed to 'their ability to pay their way out of jail'

  • Critics argue cash bail prevents dangerous criminals from returning to the streets while awaiting trial

13 Terminal Stupid, yet another example of the wheels coming off things in the criminal justice system. Criminal behavior, especially violent criminal behavior, overwhelming comes from the poorer sections of our society. This appeasement of those people under the guise of "fairness" inevitably endangers far more people, and is quickly impactful on the level of criminal behavior in the very neighborhoods they come from. So you create more high-crime zones, and less enforcement, and exodus of law-abiding citizens. Simply moronic political pandering.
