Trump just ended cashless bail in D.C.
I don't see the correlation, but I guess you do
We are talking one single case with the perp having no priors, Dearborn, Michigan, who just posted on Facebook
VS
Washington DC's cashless bail of tens of thousands in your face crimes
it's a big diff to me.... YMMV
Quote:D.C.’s system allows judges to detain defendants accused of violent crimes (e.g., murder) if they pose a risk, but misdemeanor charges typically result in higher release rates. Without precise data on how many of the 20,386 arrests led to pretrial release, I can estimate that a majority—potentially around 80-90% based on the 16,237 releases reported—likely received cashless bail, aligning with D.C.’s long-standing policy. This is a rough estimate, as some defendants may have been detained pretrial or faced federal charges, which could involve different bail protocols.
