The anti-bail saga playing out in states across the country has already stripped countless victims of their rights, created legions of fugitives and heaped millions of dollars of new costs onto the shoulders of taxpayers. But what’s unfolding now in New York State may take the cake when it comes to “bail reform” atrocities. New York State recently enacted laws allowing people accused of crimes including vehicular homicide to walk free on the pr...
In 2014 New Jersey voters were fooled into approving an amendment to the state constitution. A ballot question was presented that seemed to imply that state wanted to make it easier to detain potentially dangerous criminals who were awaiting trial. Of course concerned citizens approved this seemingly common sense initiative. When the changes went into effect in 2017 however, it became apparent that writers of the ballot question had pulled a fa...
Anti-bail bonds advocates managed to convince New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu to sign SB 556 last year. That bill brought sweeping changes to the Granite State’s long established bail system. The goal, as stated by Sununu at the time, was to eliminate inequality in the criminal justice system by making sure no one was being held simply because they couldn’t afford bail.

No surprise that they’ve found plenty of them in places like New York and California. In West Virginia however, where common sense is still held in high regard, legislators recently rejected the fundamentally flawed notion that releasing more criminals onto the streets makes for a fair, safe...
Now that Jerry Brown's final insult to the people of California - otherwise known as Senate Bill 10 or SB10 - is finally about to take effect it's a good time to look back at this travesty to see if we can figure out why even those knights of the so-called "progressive" movement, the ACLU, came to loathe it. It's not often that the ACLU comes out in opposition to a major piece of legislation from the left, but in this case, they made no secret...
On October 1, Jerry's Revenge - commonly referred to as SB10 - took effect in the once Golden State. For those who haven't been keeping up with news from the bail reform front SB10 is California's deep dive into the world of catch-and-release "justice." Its proponents claim that by removing the incentive to appear in court that bail bonds provide society will be safer, and taxpayers will save millions that would have been spent on holding so ma...
