I'll tell you why getting rid of the cash bail is VERY DUMB. I got pulled over for turning without a turn signal. I apparently had a warrant for a failure to appear in which I was not aware of. Because I got lucky and had the 1, 500 on me that the bail cost, I was able to get out within 45 minutes of being arrested, which meant I was able to show up for work the next day and not lose my job. I was, and still am not, by any means wealthy (making just 15k a year at that point. I've just been smart in budgeting my expenses vs my income. If I would've had to wait until the following morning to just TALK to a bail bondsman, let alone get the whole bail process taken care of, I would've missed work and likely lost my job

I'm no BTS fan, but I have to give them kudos for how far they've come. I love the genre of kpop, and I like the idea of kpop being more accepted in the west, even if the gateway is a group I personally can't get into. While it can get a little annoying to be drowned in BTS these days, I get the feeling that given their repeated success in the west, they aren't going to be few-hit-wonders, but instead stick around. And if they stick around, maybe SHINee and VIXX and EXID and Monsta X and Pentagon and Seventeen and SNSD and Gain and Super Junior and IU and TVXQ and HyunA and Bigbang and Block B and KARD and Sunmi and 2PM and BoA and all the rest will become known here in the west.

Bail doesn't mean you don't do time. It means you remain free while fighting your case. Not a get out and remain free card. In California most bail companies offer rebates and payment plans to help people. Now these people will not have an option. The decision will be left to the courts causing overcrowding. When someone bails out it becomes the bail companies responsibility instead of the police and taxpayers. Saving the state money. NOW THE TAXPAYERS WILL PICK UP THE OVERCROWDING CHARGES. Once the bail companies are gone and the problem becomes prominent. the state will reinstate bail so the money will go to them. It's oxymoronic.

most of indian people do not get pewdiepie's jokes. i am a indian and have subscrbes to pewdiepie for years and i know his comedy is roast and sarcastic and sometimes borderline offensive. but most of indian population have never seen this type of comedy. all we have seen on tv is clean cut jokes. never sarcastic. so whatever he is saying people take it at face value never realising he is joking and they assume he really does mean it. and taking offence is most indians leisure hobby. so ofcourse you are going to see them in comment section in videos. we are really big on fake pride over here. sigh

Everyone arrested has a bond hearing, if they don't bond out before, and at that hearing a judge can determine whether their bond needs to be raised, lowered, or revoked. The judge can also determine that the accused person can be released without bail while awaiting trial. Trials sometimes take years to happen. The bond system isn't perfect but there are options for indigent people. The jails are simply overflowing with people who don't have bail money. Of course the laws vary from state to state and I don't claim to know them all.

I think a greater problem is how police and district attorneys charge people of crime in the first place. There seems to require less evidence to charge a poorer people or people of color. There are clear examples of black men being no where near a crime scene with proof still getting charged and convicted of crimes including death penalty. We saw how the Stanford college student was caught red handed raping a woman and got a few months. Bail will not fix the root cause of the problem.

The fact is, criminals do not remain incarcerated anymore. No one stays in jail or prison. AB109 has flooded communities with prison releases. Gangs are on the rise again. In my area, the number of home security and camera systems have skyrocketed. The number of home owners arming themselves will also increase and we will are slowly returning to a self protection system, because criminals will no longer be held in jail, either before or after Court.

Regarding bail bonds, how about for once in the life of our society we solve the problem instead of getting partisan about it? It's reasonable to move to a new system, but the one proposed has obvious issues which could easily be resolved by an objective system rather than an undefined one. Instead of fighting about it maybe we should just FIX IT and everyone will be better off.

Can't pay bail? How about not doing the crime? No, your account balance has nothing to do with it. I'm all for keeping degenerates locked up awaiting pre-trial. I believe something like 90% of criminals say I didn't do it yet they end up being convicted. CA law makers are a bunch of morons. Each time I hear of a story coming out of CA I am more happy that I don't live there.
