But that is the entire point of this discussion. If someone is a rich "low-life" then even a $5k or $35k bail from your example wouldn't have stopped him from being out. If you really care about not freeing "criminals" (that have not been convicted yet right?) then wouldn't you appreciate a system only reliant on danger to society and flight risk, why even bring economics into it?
- nine_k 8y agoAre there many rich low-lifes? Are many well-off people detained for personally committing violent crimes? I'd suppose most serious crimes by well-off people are either economical, or done by hired hitmen. OTOH a previously lucky criminal may possess quite enough loot from crimes yet uncovered to pay a large bail.
