Assemblymember Rob Bonta (D-Oakland) issued the following statement on the qualification of a referendum to overturn SB 10 (the California Money Bail Reform Act):
“The money bail industry is desperately trying to hang on and buy themselves more time. But even they see the writing on the wall. Money bail is wrong. It’s unjust. It doesn’t promote public safety and it ruins lives. Our bail reform law, SB 10, replaces the money bail system with a better system that individually assesses a person’s ability to be released pre-trial based on their risk to the public and their likelihood of showing up in court—not on how much money they have. When the time comes for voters to make their decision, I feel strongly that Californians will see through the bail industry’s transparent effort to prop up an unsafe, unjust, unfair, predatory for-profit system that hurts people.”

Yes, but if there is no bail isn’t that against the Constitution? Who’s to keep biased judges (let’s face it the courts lean to the left out here) from denying bail based upon an adgenda? Google, Facebook, Bing; they have all proven they are biased as of late. And they will be the contractors that provide the algorithm. Wake up people
