Reviewing E.M.?

This should have been done years ago:

• Cook County’s new chief judge on Wednesday announced sweeping changes to his office’s electronic monitoring (EM) programs, requiring all major violations to be reported to judges within 24 hours and lowering the threshold for what constitutes a major violation from 48 hours of unauthorized absence to just three hours.

  The updated protocols represent Chief Judge Charles S. Beach II’s first major policy initiative since taking office on December 2 amid intense criticism of the court’s handling of electronic monitoring.

This follows a series of near-constant bail provision violations that never result in anyone being taken back into custody. 

These violations undermine any remaining trust in the system and reflects badly on democrats facing re-election as they are the only party in power in Chicago and Cook County.

It also provides endless fodder for alternative media sites to run pictures like this:

Judge Gonzalez doesn't like this and neither does Prickwrinkle. Beach is running interference for a corrupt judiciary.
