Our courts here in New Mexico got bamboozled by the use of the "Arnold Tool"which is basically the same thing. Anyways, Yada Yada Yada, we're now worst in nation for auto theft because of it and we have no recourse against it unless we want to change our state constitution because our Supreme Court mandated it as it was sold as being more fair. All it did was put repeat offenders on the street the next day. My car has been broken into three times since the change. Garbage in, garbage out.

  Auto theft is by definition not "petty theft".

    Except they didnt steal his car just broke into it.

Er, wouldn't a repeat offense be a red flag for "no release"? It says so right in the article: a system to ascertain a suspect’s risk of flight or committing another crime during the trial process Sounds like your state is doing it wrong?

  Sounds like his state is definitely doing it wrong. This is like building a car with square wheels and then proclaiming that cars are a terrible idea.

That sounds like it’s more than just bail though, because they should be wearing a GPS tracker.

The Arnold Foundation model was implemented in New Mexico after May 2017[0]. In 2016 Albuquerque was No.2 nationally in Auto Thefts[1], in 2017 (before the model was even in-use) you had risen to the No.1 spot[2]. So this seems quite disingenuous. Auto thefts were a HUGE problem before this, you were No.1 in the nation, and it has stayed that way for six months after the Arnold Foundation model was enacted. But instead of looking at long term trends you're blaming something that is barely one year old?
