Even the discussion around the ‘ending cash bail’ is not entirely accurate. Most people agree that holding petty criminals and homeless people in jail because they can’t come up with $500 is a waste of resources. But the bill goes beyond just petty criminals and applies this logic to habitual and recidivist criminals. The carjacker’s pretrial conditions are the same as the panhandlers. That’s insanity.
