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.

Where does it say that??
The way its supposed to be is a reasonable bail determined by the crime
Unconstitutional
Some courts will let you out on youre own recognizance not all
Let em all out. Crime runs rampant. Isn’t that the Plan. The plan (e) boss, the plan (e).
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW
if you can’t do the time don’t do the Crime, if you can’t afford the bail don’t do the crime. Hillary Clinton is setting new standards for getting away with criminal activity, incarcerated criminals are now asking that their case be reviewed and are claiming the Hillary Clinton OF, she didn’t know that she was committing a crime, precedents set in law sometimes works.
What low level offensesRobert.they got you and nail you with multiple offenses so you pretty much have to plead no contest.i know they throw the book at you and hope something sticks
Not every state has bondsmen
What violates the Constitution is for them to break the law in the first place!! This has got to be the worse & most ignorant thing to ever be!!
