Illinois law eliminating cash bail has some in law enforcement concerned – ABC7 (Chicago)

Grundy County Sheriff Ken Briley is raising concerns because the law will ban arrest for people accused certain misdemeanors. "Today, I can arrest him if you sign a complaint for trespassing," Briley said. "January 1st, I'm not going to be able to do that. The law says I have to write him a ticket and leave."
