$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.

I am generally in this corner with you. Having had family in law enforcement let me see some of how that sausage is made and it isn't always pretty.
My only issue with the misdemeanor is that we don't know what the misdemeanor was so don't know if it was an appropriate charge of driven by other factors given a lot of what goes on in prosecutors offices in certain places.
But it is sorely true that people do not really understand the purpose of bail and seemingly forget about the presumption of innocence in many cases.
Ultimately, I'd like to know more. The bail price is not really the issue here in my opinion as well. It is just easy for people to glom onto.
