Faced with an insurmountable cost to provide even basic safety (police, jails, courts, prisons) for his citizens due to his criminal mismanagement of the largest tax revenues of all 50 states, Brown decides to unleash suspects with an incentive to never show up for trial. The California Exodus, already going strong, will be picking up more steam over the next year. California to become first state eliminating bail for suspects awaiting trial By Matt Richardson | Fox News Suspects awaiting trial in California will now have their bail eliminated, according to a bill signed by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday. In lieu of bail, suspects will be gauged under a risk-assessment system, although the details of the program, which will take effect in October 2019, were not immediately clear. Suspects looking at serious, violent felonies won’t be eligible for release prior to trial but the majority of suspects arrested for nonviolent misdemeanors will be let go within 12 hours of being booked, according to the legislation. The bill gives officials 24 hours to determine whether other suspects should be released before trial. That time can be extended by 12 hours if necessary. “Today, California reforms its bail system so that rich and poor alike are treated fairly,” Brown said in a statement, according to The Sacramento Bee. Brown's signature gives the state's Judicial Council, the policy-making body for California's courts, broad authority to reshape pretrial detention policies. Each county will use the council's framework as a basis to set its own procedures for deciding whom to release before trial, potentially creating a patchwork system based on where a suspect lives. Senate Bill 10, the formal title of the legislation, was approved by the legislature earlier this month, according to The Sacramento Bee, but faced significant opposition from the bail industry prior to Brown's signing on Tuesday.

San Francisco's 'Poop Patrollers' cleaning up -- on the streets and at the bank By Robert Gearty | Fox News San Francisco creates 'Poop Patrol' to battle human waste problem San Francisco's mayor has created a new program called 'Poop Patrol' to clean up the human waste from the infested sidewalks. San Francisco has assigned six city workers to a new "Poop Patrol" to rid targeted sidewalks of human waste -- but it turns out the pay is far from crappy. "Poop patrollers" earn $71,760 a year, which swells to a value of $184,678 with mandated benefits, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The paper reported Wednesday that the city has earmarked $830,977 in taxpayer dollars for the new unit. SAN FRANCISCO CREATES 'POOP PATROL' TO CLEAN UP CITY'S FECES-RIDDEN SIDEWALKS The sight of human waste, discarded hypodermic needles, trash and general grime is nothing new to anyone walking in any number of San Francisco neighborhoods, according to the Chronicle. “We’re spending a lot of money to address this problem,” Mayor London Breed said. A team of five Public Works employees and a supervisor will begin patrolling the alleys around Polk Street and other hot spots in about a month, the Chronicle reported last week. SAN FRANCISCO INTRODUCES 'POOP PATROL' TO CLEAN UP AFTER ITS OWN CRAPPY LIBERAL POLICIES The city’s 311 service has received nearly 14,600 calls about piles of poop, other human waste and dog feces since the beginning of the year. The new "Poop Patrol" is part of the city’s Pit Stop program, which also provides staffed public toilets around the downtown areas.
There is no reason to hold a person who committed a non-violent crime. The justice system in this country is an out of control system where revenue is generated by locking humans in cages. Let people pay their fines and get on with their lives (for non violent crimes). Murderers, rapists, child molesters and a few others can all catch bullets as far as I care.
Very interesting. I see the point that it's not fair that the wealthy can get out while the poor have to remain in jail. I wonder if eligible candidates will be given leg braces that will radio authorities if the alleged culprit tries to flee. It's worked well with undocumented immigrants. I've heard that such undocumented people show up for their court appearance at over a 99% rate. However, the chances that we would be dealing with someone more guilty than an undocumented immigrant are near certain given that such undocumented people have a lower crime rate than our general population of U.S. citizens. Yeah, I'm going to have to give this one more thought.
