Once again the Obama Administration is looking to give criminals a literal “Get out of jail free” card, claiming that holding defendants in jail because they can’t afford to make bail is unconstitutional.
Funny, the Justice Department has never cared about abiding by the Constitution before. This is just the latest step by the Obama Administration in encouraging courts to move away from imposing fixed cash bail amounts. According to a spokesperson, bail practices that incarcerate individuals because they can’t afford bail is against the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees equal protection.
What this will actually do, is make it easier for criminals to stay out on the street. This is just one of the many steps taken over the past year to ensure that criminals no longer face the consequences of their actions, especially based on the color of their skin.
If you’ll recall this past year, President Obama violated the rights of property owners to determine who should live on their property by basically forcing landlords to house criminals. And what about the Department of Justice forcing “Implicit Bias” training on law enforcement to destigmatize black criminals.
Welcome to racist America.

Stupid
So……it IS all about the cash!
If you follow basic conservative principles to finish school, get a job and put in honest effort and hold off sex until you can afford kids in 10 years you have a 90%+ chance to not be poor. How about also not comitting crimes.
Can not do the time, do not do the crime.
Can’t do the time , don’t do the crime .
This is not equal application of the law
This makes no sense
2 words, “Bail Bondsman”
So, by that logic, poor can commit crime and go free, while, I, who works, can be arrested for a driving charge and go to jail, because I can afford bail due to, I work. But beings that I pay bills, I probably don’t have bail money. Sounds like, government trying to coddle teat suckers.
Ever pay attention to all the people is letting out of prison . There not white .
