No Cash Bail - California
- Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed sweeping legislation to eliminate cash bail in California. The change, which will take effect in October 2019, goes further than any other state in the country to remove money from pretrial detention.
“Today, California reforms its bail system so that rich and poor alike are treated fairly,” Brown said in a statement.
Under Senate Bill 10, California will replace bail with “risk assessments” of individuals and non-monetary conditions of release. Counties will establish local agencies to evaluate any individual arrested on felony charges for their likelihood of returning for court hearings and their chances of re-arrest.
A person whose risk to public safety and risk of failure to appear is determined to be “low” would be released with the least restrictive non-monetary conditions possible. “Medium-risk” individuals could be released or held depending on local standards. “High-risk” individuals would remain in custody until their arraignment, as would anyone who has committed certain sex crimes or violent felonies, is arrested for driving under the influence for the third time in less than 10 years, is already under supervision by the courts or has violated any conditions of pretrial release in the previous five years.
And after arraignment, they'll be released as soon as they can find a sympathetic judge. We're pretty sure the rules in place already took these factors into consideration. That's why high bails exist - to compel compliance and appearances at court.
We're betting on a lot more no-shows in California, and soon, even more in Cook County. But don't worry - we'll catch them the second time.

They really do want the judge, jury and executioner to be just that one victim who is not a submissive victim.
No problem.
Efficiancy is now the rule, as it has always been designed to be in Nature.
No more pesky procedures, lengthy processes, irritating delays and deceptions, no, just here and now and be on your way......
Deeeeeeeeeeelightful.
Thanks, progs, you are truly the accolytes of Mother Nature......
This won't happen in Illinois. The term "CBR to Attorney" is written in stone on every courthouse foundation.
Ah yes DUI, the most heinous of crimes. Murder a few people in cold blood and every progressive in the nation is lined up to defend you. Blow a .09 and they are trying to get you life.
It’s the norm here already. The judge asks offenders how much they can pay. If they say zero, they get an ibond. If they don’t show up to court, if it’s not a violent felony, by order of Kim Fox, the ASA nolle prosequi the case.
California is the trend setter. As California goes, the nation eventually follows. t's all about social justice.
Catch and release is starting to get old.
The people will turn to others for justice, and it will be swift.
Man, I think I have an idea for a retirement gig.
Jerry won't be satisfied until he's a statistic himself.
With Commie California's Senators Feinstein, Pelosi, Gov. Moonbeam Brown, Lt Gov Gavin Newsome and other radical left politicians destroying the state one day at a time the no bond rule will be the political earthquake that destroys the once golden state.
In California what could possible go wrong on this one.

One of the biggest problems that Cook County faces!
I read that the ACLU is opposed to this. CBRs no longer exist, Rauner signed a law banning them.
A good fucking earthquake will take care of the commie fucks watch as California slides off into the ocean drowning all them Demorats!
You mean California is following Chicago's Crook County insane court rules? No more black and brown in jail?
Like the 5 (yes, FIVE) time convicted FELON who was out walking free to savagely beat and rape that innocent woman two days ago?
Who has literally crushed the bones in her face while subjecting her to a sexual attack in an alley?
I just don't get it........really, I just don't get WHY any sane person wants criminals to roam free amongst decent, hard working, tax paying
CITIZENS of this great country.......
Stay safe out there my brothers and sisters in blue......take care of each other, and go home safe to your family......
All the California crap will travel to my beloved state of nevada
Illinois is turning into a shithole like California!
"Counties will establish local agencies to evaluate..."
Another unfunded mandate & layer of bureaucracy...
Gee what could go wrong there...???
Big money saver, just call the Marshall's service for everyone who doesn't appear. Let the feds deal with it.
Are we allowed to say in this blog what the only redeeming attribute of Pelosi is?
'“Today, California reforms its bail system so that rich and poor alike are treated fairly,” Brown said in a statement.'
That would make sense if "rich and poor" committed the same crimes at the same rate.
It is already in crook county, why not in the land of fruits and nuts?

I stopped doing 501's a long time ago. I had a 2 year wonder with me who was in shock. I refuse to screw over a working class man who had a extra cocktail or two.
Reminds me of what happened back in the early - mid 1980"s when they came up with the old "sign and go" law for traffic tickets. A few years after it was enacted, Cook County alone had over 80,000 people driving on suspended D/Ls because traffic offenders would sign off on the ticket and then fail to (1) pay it or (2) go to court.
When these fools finally got caught and charged for DWLS, the ASA would reduce the charge to something like "Driving While License held in Lieu of Bail".
What a nightmare that was for EVERYONE involved!
Stay safe!

Wait until the first murder happens after a domestic battery release with no bond.
It starts out as affordable bond...like affordable housing, it’s just a temporary thang.
ShitHole example of what Shitago will become.
Only thing is they have better weather and our street feces doesn’t stink that much from November to April.
These libs just love to ruin as much as possible before they leave Elected office.
Still to come is AssFaceBook Live court appearances.
California Independence should be forced by the a majority of other states— 25 to 24 should Force it’s independence and build a wall around the California
The people who don't think this will happen in Illinois are clueless. It already has, hasn't anyone been paying attention to the sweeping bond reform Kim Foxx has advocated for and gotten implemented? It's the same system. Pay attention sheeple. The politicians are passing laws and no one is paying attention.
Maybe some of us hecommunity will relocate to CA. Much better weather. How about a one way ticket offer to any banger arrested.

How in the world has Jerry Brown been elected so many times?
This all stems from the supreme court. California Prisons were so over crowded that it constituted cruel and unusual punishment (not enough officers, doctors, nurses, food, beds, etc.), and CA was ordered to lower the prison population.
So low level felons serving a few years got routed out to their home county jails. Which means less room for intake of new prisoners. I work for the courts near Sacramento, CA and everyone is livid, judges, officers, citizens, clerks.
I am hoping to organize a ballot so the citizens can at least have a proposition to vote this down. But then again when we voted to not give illegals welfare in the 1990's the supreme court shot us down, so this will be an up hill battle.
Despite the fact that we are trying to gentrify our poor to Las Vegas, Reno, and Phoenix I do not see this ending well for the Golden State.

Who needs bail when the charges will just be dismissed?
“Today, California reforms its bail system so that rich and poor alike are treated fairly,” Brown said in a statement.
I'll bet Brown & Company aren't bitching too much when the rich are paying more in taxes than the poor.
So much for fairness.

In percentage of total, what is the length of your state border in direct contact with the Pacific Ocean?
This is a hint.
