SB10, the bill to eliminate the requirement to pay bail, just passed. I guess now everyone will just have to pinky-swear to report for their court date. MM— Melissa Melendez (@asmMelendez) August 21, 2018

S.B. 10 has passed both houses in the California legislature. What is right and reasonable is not what's in the Democrat Party's mind when it comes to laws. They only wish to increase taxes, cater to criminals and illegals, and destroy our system of liberty. They hate capitalism, so they pass laws they think will stick a beam into the eyes of the wealthy.
Eliminating wealth as a determination in pretrial detention would be a groundbreaking first step in making our criminal justice system fairer and safer. -- Senator Bob Hertzberg
What the Democrats are doing is further weakening our ability to fight crime and keep our neighborhoods safe.
Senator Jim Nielsen:
“This is a stay-out-of-jail card.
The current bail system serves as an incentive for those accused of a crime to appear before a judge. Without a bail system and the fear of being tracked down by a bail bondsman, what is the motivation for anyone to appear in court? And what standard will be used to determine whether the accused is a flight risk?
This measure, if signed into law, will result in a worse system where victims and their loved ones will not get the justice they deserve.
Criminals will thumb their noses and dismiss court orders. With our criminal justice system already weakened by AB 109, Proposition 47 and Proposition 57, this bill will further deteriorate our public safety.
With parole supervision virtually eliminated, bail agents are the only boots-on-the- ground supervision for most convicted felons.
Under realignment reform, burglars receive nothing but a notice to appear, with little to no consequences if they do not show up in court.
The effect is no justice, and criminals are free to continue victimization.”
