We need to talk bail reform

Not do away with cash bail, but something has to change. Judges have too much discretion.
2 stories:
Mall of Louisiana shooting, the young scholar was out on bail on house arrest for bringing a gun to school when he shot up the mall. He had an ankle monitor he wasn’t charging so the judge let him switch to telephone check-ins.
Juxtapose that with this:

57 days in jail because this young girl couldn’t come up with $30k or so on a $300k bond for alleged weed-laced paper.
Gun crimes need stricter, non-discretionary bail amounts. Felons with guns need obnoxious bail. Drug possession crimes need little to no bail. It needs to be statutory because these judges can’t stop fricking up.

(KPLC) - All charges have been dropped against a defense assistant accused of passing a paper laced with synthetic marijuana to a defendant during trial.
Demi Fontana was released from jail Thursday after the Calcasieu Parish District Attorney’s Office rejected charges of possession with intent to distribute marijuana and introduction of contraband into a correctional facility.
“Upon receiving test results from an accredited laboratory showing no controlled dangerous substance was contained on the paper in question, charges were refused,” according to Bethany Bryant, spokesperson for the District Attorney’s Office.
Fontana spent 57 days in jail on $300,000 bond.

I honestly don’t care what you have to say. Literally about anything. Tell it to your therapist.

I figured that you would be happy with the mall rat getting off light.

Anything related to violence or thievery should be very difficult.
The criminal defense bar pulled major wool over the public’s eye when property crime got lumped in with “muh non-violent weed smokers” over the last 20 years of propaganda

I'm actually convinced now that the dims WANT to ignore and not prosecute gun crimes. If the do prosecute gun crimes then they have the ability to lose their narrative for gun control.
I believe if a man uses a gun in a crime (no matter the crime) then that should be a minimum of 5 years (hard labor) with no chance of parole.

They just want to ignore crime committed by non whites. They definitely will work to put white men in jail.

You don't know me and I don't know you. All we have to go on is post history and time spent on the board. They are judging you on that. And the evidence supports the conclusion.
You ARE the caricature that has been imagined and created by YOU on here when engaging in discussion.
You are probably a cool person in real life, but all of us here don't get the pleasure of discernment in these forums. Now put your helmet on and battle online like a man or a reasonable facsimile of that!

Thr most ardent gun control OPPONENTS are in favor of harsh treatment for crimes committed with a gun (bail and sentencing). Would; 1) solve the vast majority of the problem; 2) show that opponents are not unreasonable; and, 3) put a serious dent in primarily Democrat voting base.

Yes to doing away with cash bail. It has conditioned gullible citizens to believe money or lack thereof should be used for the purpose of incarceration. There is no evidence that whether or not someone can post cash bail has anything to do with whether or not someone shows up for court or prevents someone from committing additional crime.
The system needs to change to simply allow orders of detention without the need to come up with a dollar amount that would allow someone to be released.
The decision should simply come down to whether or not an arrestee should or should not be released on bond. The basis for that decision should be the best evidence available. No need to study or reinvent it. There’s a large body of research out there. We just need to use it.

What kind of short-sighted system relies on the suspect to keep the monitor powered?
And if he refused to comply with the terms of his release (charging the monitor), why were there no consequences?
What’s the point of the monitor?
