You do realize bail is just a way to ensure a defendant shows up for its court dates, right?
According to the Judicial Council of California, the purpose of bail in California is under the presumption of innocence the least restrictive approach to assure defendant’s appearance in court and to protect the public safety.

Career criminal has a lengthy rap sheet with arrests in Charlotte, South Carolina, and California

He also appears to have been on a $50,000 bond in Charleston, South Carolina on a shooting charge
Given those two things from the article the OP posted, there may have been reason to require more bail depending on the background of the misdemeanor charges he bonded out for. Particularly if he was undercharged due to the political climate or because of overcrowded jails.

$1000 for a misdemeanor is pretty standard, even in more law/order areas like LA.
Now, you wander into a REAL law/order area? You may be in trouble if the judge doesn't like you, legal or not. Again, there is a particular parish around mine where this is a direct threat for anyone.
It seems like people are trying to warp the $1000 for a misdemeanor into the other charge out of SC, which was pretty high at $50k.
That's why I've been phrasing this in terms of being punitive, b/c extreme bonds for misdemeanors is a system of legit totalitarianism.
