They’d better fucking give us a mugshot.
Wasn’t bail only set at 200k? So like a token gesture, really.
Normal people don’t get that much leniency.. I’d be surprised if we get a mugshot, but Godzilla do I want it.
Some states are switching to cashless bail by default because there's so many people rotting in jail for not having $100 to their name.
Good. They absolutely should switch
Bail is such an American concept. Break the law, but if you have money you can avoid some of the consequences, because of course rich people should be treated better
I entirely agree with you, it’s a poverty penalty and should be abolished entirely -except for- the wealthy, who -should- be required to post bail to walk free, as a got-caught-being-antisocial wealth tax. :)
So so many things about the American police state need to be fixed, really.
The guy who runs the place already said that there would be mugshots for all. I bet Trump smiles for the camera like fuckin' Tom DeLay did. Smarmy bastard.
