85 year old arrested in the middle of the night

You must not understand how bail is set...

You must not understand the constitution...

[JM Ver. 2.0]

You must not understand the 8th Amendment.

You must not understand the constitution...

Look at my edited post, sirs.... Those would be the bond amounts that are set by the City and County of Denver... The Bond amounts are set by CRIME without any consideration given to the person committing the crime.

Judges aren't around at 2am to set bail. Thus, bail is set by the schedule of bonds. The amount can be increased or decreased by a judge. The bond amount that you are held under when first arrested is a "temporary" bond that is subject to modification by a judge. IF you pay the $50,000 and your bond is reduced, the difference is given back. If you pay the $50,000 and they increase your bond, you are arrested again and held until the remaining amount is paid.

If you want to argue how its done, I suggest you write a letter.



AND! In regards to your two comments.... Neither one of you must understand The Constitution... Mostly you, DavieD, since you don't even have enough respect for it to capitalize it correctly.

How typical. Circle the wagons. And quote the law

Jesus.

1) Anyone telling me that they are a volunteer anything better be turning around and walking away post haste.
2) You don't approach someone in plain clothes and start grabbing stuff.
3) If you are 85 years old, you are automatically handi-capped. PERIOD. Handicapped signs were created for people who are handicapped and look too young to be handicapped. I would NEVER hassle someone who was 85 years old for parking in a handicapped spot. Ever.
4) This article has reinforced my belief that there can be nothing worse than a volunteer law enforcement personal.

Agreed.

Is he real cop or an off duty Manitou Springs police officer.

Honestly, if a "volunteer law enforcement" person came up to my car with their yellow sirens flashing and their shitty ass car and no badge I'd tell them to eat my dick. Then escalate the situation to the point where a real officer comes out and lol's that a volunteer cop tried to fuck with me without a gun. Then walk away after my lawyer gets me off the hook and sues for legal costs.
