Bails in most major cities are a scam. I had a $0 bail for a misdemeanor (first time offense). Then two former federal prosecutors got involved in my case and had the Judge revoke my bail and set it for $75,000. I spent 5 weeks in LA County jail trying to fight my case until I gave in, brutalized by the conditions and the endless fake court appearances (dry runs). The people that work in that industry are dangerous, deluded and wreak havoc in communities. I feel so much empathy for the hundreds of thousands of LA inmates who are unfairly subjugated to such a system. It is perpetuating chaos, gangs and fractured lives. The FBI has video surveillance cameras in all the jails because of police abuse and the former Sheriff is heading to federal prison. I commend any group trying to fight for reform. LA's problems are directly tied to malicious and excessive policing, bails and boilerplate plea deals.
