Eric Rinehart: New detention system under the SAFE-T Act will make us safer – Chicago Tribune*

"Instead of using our time filing meritless lawsuits, the professionals at the Lake County state’s attorney’s office have been working to protect public safety and ensuring those charged with violent crimes aren’t back on the streets on Jan. 1 and beyond. We will be filing our detention petitions now so that judges can make their determinations as to who should be detained on Jan. 1, once a cash value is replaced with a finding of 'detention' or 'released with conditions.'"

“Released with conditions”, oh, suddenly criminals will start following the rules? Give me a break, this SAFE-T ACT is dangerous for us all.
