You cannot have cashless bail for criminals. Bail is something you get before trial, and definitionally are not a criminal.
Cash bail does not do anything except force low income defendants into either jail or debt.
What exactly do you think cash bail does that cashless bail does not do? I mean except for the obvious ones of ensuring poor defendants lose money, their jobs, their housing, their children get placed into foster care/CPS, etc.
If your concern is safety, then why do you seem to prefer a world where someone accused of a violent crime can just pay some money and get out on bail, vs one in which a person accused of a violent crime does not have that option?
If your concern is government control of citizens, why do you prefer a world where rich defendants don't have to go to jail, but poor ones do, regardless of guilt?
But also how are we getting "more and more laws" but also "less laws"?
