[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3227916, member: 29267"] I agree with some of the reasons he states for implementing these policies, but the actual policies…:screwy: Based on this genius DA's guidelines for requesting bail, someone could punch a random stranger in the face, get arrested, be released without bail, punch another random stranger, get arrested, released without bail, and repeat for as long as they want until they're convicted and sentenced to jail. Except they won't ever be convicted, because they'll fail to appear and as long as the prosecutor can't prove the failure to appear was an attempt to evade prosecution (pick any excuse - "my car broke down," "I forgot to do laundry," "I forgot the date"), they'll be given a new date for their trial and released again. Is excessive bail a problem in this country? Yeah. Is this the solution? I have a feeling this is what John Creuzot has been doing in his spare time... [IMG]https://im4.ezgif.com/tmp/ezgif-4-932adb3fb52e.gif[/IMG] And don't even get me started on not prosecuting theft. My wife and I don't go far from home very often, but we sometimes talk about how a day trip down to Dallas might be fun. That's no longer on our list after this. Good luck with your upcoming crime spree, Dallas County. [/QUOTE]
