Bail is a joke. It’s only meant to keep poor people locked up while the wealthy criminals walk around without punishment.

Citizens still face steeper bail over weed charges. There should be no chance of bail for crimes against children, doubly so for foreigners as they are such a flight risk.

I am not saying I have a better solution, but how long do you think it would take for such a rule to be used to lock up trans people or drag queens?

I hate how right you almost certainly are. I still say that at very least foreign nationals accused of sexual and violent crimes should be held without bail so can’t simply flee the country.
