This is a complete misunderstanding of the new law. You can still pay your own bail, but not others. Rich people can pay just fine, but communities can't come together to support each other and cover bail. This will hit hardest at strikers and protesters.

Well, that's something I learned today, thanks :)

The thing is that monetary bail and fining has always been icky to me because it basically creates a different, more lenient system for the rich while normal people have to suffer.

Yeah it sucks, it also creates an industry of high interest debt and bounty hunting.
