Having/not having money shouldn't factor into it. It should be based on flight risk. And if you follow high profile bond/bail you'll notice judges set the amounts higher for defendants who have money to create incentive.

CA is a state full of illegals who would have no incentive to return for trial. They are effectively removing the consequences by completely eliminating bail/bond. Even if petty. They are going to be turning loose a ton of theft (identity and physical) suspects who are free to go out and victimize more taxpayers.

This change isn't for the benefit of the avg Joe hard working guy who gets caught up on a minor charge. It's for the criminal illegal underclass that is exploited for political power.

It's reverse Broken Windows. And they know it.
