Though in practice most people are released on their own recognizance, no bond is set except for serious cases. Also, Oregon doesn't just outlaw bounty hunters as part of our own process, we outlaw them altogether. Bounty hunting is classified as kidnapping. While there are many things Oregon could do better, there are a whole bunch of things, like this, which I think we are absolutely right on.
