| Message | Bail is set when you are accused of a crime. Those who are rich can post bail and start planning their legal defense. Those who are poor cannot post bail and are extremely disadvantaged by this system. This legislation will eliminate bail for minor offenses so all people can plan their legal defense while free. |
