California to become first state to eliminate bail for suspects awaiting trial under bill signed by governor
California to become first state to eliminate bail for suspects awaiting trial under bill signed by governor.
This is not good for a few reasons, once Ca. does something the rest of the country follow suites on the many things Cali. does.
The other thing is tihis is pure BS and taking away from the Constitutional rights.
Our justice system favors the rich and powerful and discriminates against the poor. People shouldn't have to sit in jail or ruin their finances in order to secure their freedom before they've even had a trial proving their guilt. I had a friend who years ago got arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Thankfully, his parents were able to lend him the $5,000 he needed to secure bail and get out of jail before his trial, which was three months away, and which never ended up occurring because the DA dropped the charges the day of. However, the $5,000 was gone, regardless, and he had to pay that money back to his parents. That's not the way our justice system should work.

I have no problem with fixing that problem...... what I don't want is another excuse to allow left wing judges to let violent, repeat gun criminals out of jail even more easily than they already are.
What is your solution?
I know that left wing judges will NOT use this to let violent gun offenders out of prison . Several states have this type of system in place for a while. Show us some statistics supporting you claim or shut the hell up.Maybe you should try to understand the issue before spouting off about itCalifornia has gone from circling the drain to turbo flush.California to become first state to eliminate bail for suspects awaiting trial under bill signed by governor

California Becomes First US State to Eliminate Bail for Suspects Awaiting Trial
Money bail has promoted a system of separate and unequal justice. SB 10 puts all Californians on equal footing before the law and makes public safety the only consideration in pre-trial detention. This critical reform is long overdue," Senate President pro Tempore Toni Atkins said in the release.

And this is how the left drives up the crime rate. Uninformed people will read this and think....this is good, normal, good people who are actually innocent won't have to stay in jail while awaiting a crime they did not commit, because they can't afford bail.....
What it means in the real world? Left wing judges will be letting violent, repeat gun offenders out of jail at an even faster rate than ever before.... cause cops are bad.....
Yep.......the left, destroying everything they touch.
And conservatives are proving yet again that their alleged beliefs in freedom and liberty are nothing but bullshit slogans. You wave your flag around and talk about the Constitution while you prop up the police state.
How so? Tell us, you don't think that left wing judges will now use this to let violent gun offenders out of prison even more quickly than they have before?

There is no evidence that you statement is anything more than a boatload of bizarre bovine excrement. Judges do not want to be responsible for putting dangerous people back on the street. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just really fucking stupid, and this whole thing about liberals and their attitude towards criminals is even more stupid.

Letting felons loose with no jail time, steal cars and just get a ticket, murderers and rapists set free with a pinky promise they’ll return to court, illegals with felonies protected from arrest, illegals shooting women thru the heart and walking free.... you Leftards have created one crappy State in California.

Public Safety Assessment: A risk tool that promotes safety, equity, and justice - Laura and John Arnold Foundation
Our Public Safety Assessment (PSA) is an effort to help protect communities and make the system fairer. It is a research-based, data-driven pretrial risk assessment tool that provides judges with objective information about the likelihood that a defendant will commit a new crime or will fail to return to court. The tool uses nine factors pulled from the administrative record to produce those two risk scores and flag defendants who pose an elevated risk of committing a violent crime. We developed the PSA after conducting extensive research. A team under the direction of two leading researchers in the pretrial field analyzed 750,000 cases from more than 300 jurisdictions to identify the factors that were most predictive of (1) failure to appear, (2) criminal activity, and (3) violence. These factors include a defendant’s age, current charge, and key aspects of a person’s criminal history. The PSA does not take into account race, gender, employment status, level of education, or history of substance use. We have publicly released the complete list of PSA factors and the tool’s algorithm. Anyone is able to see how the risk factors are weighted and how the risk scores are calculated. Judges can consider the PSA report for each defendant when deciding whether a person should be released or detained, but maintain their full judicial discretion in all cases.
Furthermore:
Preliminary data indicate that the PSA has the potential to produce a positive impact. For example, in Lucas County, Ohio, pretrial crime is down and significantly more people are returning to court since the county began using the risk tool. More people who belong in jail are behind bars, while more who don’t are released on their own recognizance. This means the system is fairer and the community is safer.
I was thinking of the ones linked to Clinton currently living in Federal Prisons.The Democrat politicians know that their voters are criminals
Like the criminals connected to Trump currently being indicted?
Going to get violent to suppress his 1st Amendment Rights?I understand that you want criminals released without bail and that you are on the internet lying and spinning about it to make it normal.

Baltimore....
Maryland governor proposes "truth in sentencing" rules for gun crimes
What Governor Hogan is focusing on is the relatively light sentences that persons convicted of gun crimes receive, many of whom do no time in jail at all.
----
Afterward, Hogan said he was frustrated that violent repeat offenders are not receiving long prison sentences.
“We keep putting the same exact violent people on the streets,” Hogan said. “We’ve got to get them off the streets.”
----
Some of the statistics that the Governor and the Police Chief are highlighting are truly alarming. The majority of the murders involve gang members as both the perpetrator and the victim.
And on average, these shooting victims have themselves been arrested ten times previously. How on Earth do criminals have that many contacts with the legal system and not wind up being taken off the battlefield?
In any event, Hogan announced that he wants the state legislature to step in and do what the city tried, but failed to accomplish. They need tougher sentencing for gun crimes and those sentences need to mean something. Hogan was quoted as saying, “if you say you’re going to get this number of years, you’re going to get that number of years.” And presumably he means that you’re actually going to do that number of years.
He’s not going to have an easy time of it. Maryland’s Attorney General, Brian Frosh, came out right after Hogan’s remarks and contradicted most of them. He claims to never have agreed to any sort of truth in sentencing law and immediately pivoted to blaming their crime problem on…. Donald Trump.

Our Public Safety Assessment (PSA) is an effort to help protect communities and make the system fairer. It is a research-based, data-driven pretrial risk assessment tool that provides judges with objective information about the likelihood that a defendant will commit a new crime or will fail to return to court. The tool uses nine factors pulled from the administrative record to produce those two risk scores and flag defendants who pose an elevated risk of committing a violent crime. We developed the PSA after conducting extensive research. A team under the direction of two leading researchers in the pretrial field analyzed 750,000 cases from more than 300 jurisdictions to identify the factors that were most predictive of (1) failure to appear, (2) criminal activity, and (3) violence. These factors include a defendant’s age, current charge, and key aspects of a person’s criminal history. The PSA does not take into account race, gender, employment status, level of education, or history of substance use. We have publicly released the complete list of PSA factors and the tool’s algorithm. Anyone is able to see how the risk factors are weighted and how the risk scores are calculated. Judges can consider the PSA report for each defendant when deciding whether a person should be released or detained, but maintain their full judicial discretion in all cases.
Furthermore:
Preliminary data indicate that the PSA has the potential to produce a positive impact. For example, in Lucas County, Ohio, pretrial crime is down and significantly more people are returning to court since the county began using the risk tool. More people who belong in jail are behind bars, while more who don’t are released on their own recognizance. This means the system is fairer and the community is safer.
The Democrat politicians know that their voters are criminals
Like the criminals connected to Trump currently being indicted?
We are dealing with the fact California is going to release criminals without bail. A threat to everyone. That you are in love with crime and perversity so much that you cannot see that is of no importance to anyone other than your parole officer.Yes there are weakness in the criminal justice system, but that is a separate issue from bail reform. You're just throwing out a red herring because you can't deal with the facts and logic being presented that supports what Ca. and others are doingI know that left wing judges will NOT use this to let violent gun offenders out of prison . Several states have this type of system in place for a while. Show us some statistics supporting you claim or shut the hell up.Maybe you should try to understand the issue before spouting off about it
California Becomes First US State to Eliminate Bail for Suspects Awaiting Trial
By the way, New Jersey already has this system in placeAnd conservatives are proving yet again that their alleged beliefs in freedom and liberty are nothing but bullshit slogans. You wave your flag around and talk about the Constitution while you prop up the police state.
How so? Tell us, you don't think that left wing judges will now use this to let violent gun offenders out of prison even more quickly than they have before?

Maryland governor proposes "truth in sentencing" rules for gun crimes
What Governor Hogan is focusing on is the relatively light sentences that persons convicted of gun crimes receive, many of whom do no time in jail at all.
----
Afterward, Hogan said he was frustrated that violent repeat offenders are not receiving long prison sentences.
“We keep putting the same exact violent people on the streets,” Hogan said. “We’ve got to get them off the streets.”
----
Some of the statistics that the Governor and the Police Chief are highlighting are truly alarming. The majority of the murders involve gang members as both the perpetrator and the victim.
And on average, these shooting victims have themselves been arrested ten times previously. How on Earth do criminals have that many contacts with the legal system and not wind up being taken off the battlefield?
In any event, Hogan announced that he wants the state legislature to step in and do what the city tried, but failed to accomplish. They need tougher sentencing for gun crimes and those sentences need to mean something. Hogan was quoted as saying, “if you say you’re going to get this number of years, you’re going to get that number of years.” And presumably he means that you’re actually going to do that number of years.
He’s not going to have an easy time of it. Maryland’s Attorney General, Brian Frosh, came out right after Hogan’s remarks and contradicted most of them. He claims to never have agreed to any sort of truth in sentencing law and immediately pivoted to blaming their crime problem on…. Donald Trump.
