Accused criminals, after being released without bail, aren’t showing up for trial.
California Globe: In August 2018, then-Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 10 into law, ostensibly to reform the cash bail system. However, Before SB 10 could have gone into effect, Californians Against the Reckless Bail Scheme fought the legislation on two points: it would result in the release of violent offenders to the streets, and would kill a $2-billion national industry, as well as the 3,200 bail agents in California. The group collected nearly 600,000 signatures in 70 days to put SB 10 on the November 2020 ballot, to allow California voters to decide whether or not to replace cash bail with risk assessments for suspects awaiting trial.
But risk assessments aren’t the answer, according to 110 civil rights groups, which have opposed the risk tools, including the ACLU, Civil Rights Corp, Upturn, and the NAACP, theAmerican Bail Coalition reports.
SB 10 by Sen. Bob Hertzberg (D-Los Angeles) and Assemblyman Rob Bonta (D-Oakland), would eliminate bail, which bail bondsmen and attorneys say is a vital tool that ensures people arrested for crimes will return to court for their trials, California Globe reported in April.
Bail are the terms imposed upon a person that such person must meet in order to be released from jail pending trial, the American Bail Coalition explains. When a person is arrested, bail will be set for that person by a judge. In many cases, bail is set by a fixed bail schedule. In most cases, the bail industry saves cities and counties millions of dollars every year by getting defendants to court.
So why are so many politicians trying to outlaw bail? Some politicians and judges claim bail provides an unfair advantage only to those who can afford it. Notably, for low level offenses, defendants are often cited and released, or released on their own recognizance. read more
Dems mining their largest constituency group for votes. That plus higher crime rates allow dems to seize more power to protect the (now disarmed) citizenry.
So minorities who commit the most crimes can continue their mayhem. Did you see the ms13 gang banger who got out and then murdered the witness agains’t him? Yea, this works great. I want politicians who pass laws that create violence agains’t the innocent get the same treatment the perps used on their victims. An eye for an eye should restore law and order rather quickly.
Sewing more chaos in cities.

Three or four on that list are federal crimes. DOJ, ATF, and the Flunkie Bureau of Investigation dropping the ball again.
Because the progressive movement is and has been totally invested in increasing innocent human suffering, misery and death.
Pandering, pure and simple. Bail is racist, or something.
The real answer is because George Soros is paying the to support this.
Yes they are pandering, but to underestimate the misanthropic nature of a progressive is a huge mistake. They are primarily motivated by hatred for anything good.
Txn4Evr. I agree.
Bail is supposed to be set by weighing the crime and the defendant’s criminal history, situation and means. It is supposed to achieve an adequate incentive for the defendant to come back to court while not putting defendants into situations in which the innocent languish in jail awaiting trial. It will never be perfect but…
Meanwhile, Roger Stone is going to prison for being a semi-senile bragging blowhard?
Create chaos and solve it with fascism.
Worked great for hitler in germany, so why not for America’s wanna be hitlers?
Every day, give thanks for PDJT.
Imagine our lives if hillary clinton succeeded that traitor obama. You just try. Then, try sleeping tonight, realizing the traitor that still infest our government.
My theory was that it would eventually be brought back and the politicians would take over the bail bondsman’s profits.
“Why Are So Many Politicians Trying to Outlaw Bail?”
…simple. They figure they’re gonna NEED bail.
…very, very soon…
…what IS the bailment for treason, anyway, probably pretty high…
I’m a bail bondsman in Washington state. I feel strongly that they will pass this, More likely they will do it on their own without a vote from the citizens soon. It’ll turn ugly fast here, just like it has in New York.
There is one court here in Washington that I am aware of, that already does their own bail. They call it an appearance bond, the court keeps the money when they don’t show up for their hearing. I think it won’t be politicians who take over bail, it will be individual courts, the state.
Old Commie trick.
Let the criminals run wild so foolish law-abiding people will demand more laws and government which of course will be used to further enslave the law-abiding, more government
control, demanding fools.
Dems love chaos, because out of that chaos, they hope to control all, eventually.
But in the meantime, they have to coddle the monsters of their making.
Leslie- Yeah, but the courts are filled with politicians. And they want their cuts. lol
Leslie, it sounds like a similar situation to what happened with student loans. This can’t end well.
Banksters bankstering?
Oh, that can’t be. There must be some “honest” mistake.
There seems to be a trend here, the government likes to take over anywhere there’s money. Can’t put my finger on it.
Whether it’s Cloward Piven, The ACLU, The NAACP, Fundamental Transformation, George Soros or No Bail, it’s all about collapsing the system!
The left needs brownshits.
This ensures a good stocknof them.
