Trump signs executive order ending cashless bail

President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending cashless bail on Monday. "One of the executive orders has to do with cashless bail -- that's when the big crime in this country started," Trump said before signing the order. He said that when a person kills someone, and they are released on cashless bail, they are just told to return to court, but they don't. "They thought it was discriminatory" to require bail after killing people on the street, Trump said. The executive order charges the attorney general to identify cashless bail jurisdictions in order to withhold their federal funding. "So important -- this isn't Republican or Democrat, Trump said, signing the order. "By the way, most Democrats agree with this. We got to bring our country back."

During the last Presidential Admin, we saw exactly how dropping bail worked out. Crime rose like flood water.

If there's enough evidence to make an arrest, the person arrested needs to sit their ass in jail until trial, or put some skin in the game to ensure there's money for resources to track them down should they not show for court.

I didn't think it was possible either ... but it has happened.

On Feb. 2, a grand jury in Manhattan Supreme Court indicted Clark for murder in the second degree, assault, two counts of robbery and grand larceny.
The suspect was arraigned Thursday on the superseding charges. At the hearing, Manhattan prosecutors requested that Clark be remanded without bail.
But in a shocking move, Judge April Newbauer released Clark on his own recognizance.

But since you asked

Key findings of this study include:
Individuals released on Zero Bail were subsequently rearrested for a total of 163% more crimes than individuals released on bail.
Arrested individuals released on Zero Bail reoffended at an average rate that was 70% higher than arrestees who posted bail.
The average recidivism rate for those released on Zero Bail was 78% over 18 months, while the average recidivism rate for those released on bail was only 46%.
Individuals released on Zero Bail committed new felonies 90% more often than those who posted bail.
Individuals released on Zero Bail committed new misdemeanors 123% more often than those who posted bail.
Individuals released on Zero Bail were rearrested for two or more new crimes 148% more often than those released on bail.
Individuals released on Zero Bail committed new violent offenses 200% more often than those who posted bail.

Same thing JPW did. Bragged about his doctorate and few nights later was talking about his gig as a short order cook.

I don't judge people by what they do for a living or by how much money they make, but it isn't a good look when they have to lie because of insecurities or whatever.

This isn't true. There are lots of layoffs but the people laid off, but people in larger SW firms aren't laid off.

Google even had layoffs, and in 6 months most everyone was hired back in different rolls.

I personally have never been laid off, the day may come but I suspect I will retire before that.

RE:Like Microsoft and their 100 day rule; look it up clowns.

The 100 day rule is for Temporary employees, IOW the "employee" worked (W2) for someone else NOT Microsoft.

Its not a LAYOFF, its the end of the term the IRS has said is max allowable before the person is an employee.
Also you would know this going into the position.

Google has something similar for TVCs, there's a matrix the only exception is if you are going to get hired by the FAANG, then you wouldn't need this period.

Indeed. All kinds of workers get laid off all the time.

It's worth knowing if you get fired for cause, like not showing up, or showing up drunk, or not doing your job, you won't qualify for unemployment benefits.

So, try to avoid being that kind of worker, or you won't get unemployment when your number comes up in the Great Trump Depression that Republicans voted for to own the libs.

Not long after I did those things I got laid off.

#51 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-08-25 11:49 PM

Cashless bail refers to criminal justice policies in which judges can release people arrested for crimes without requiring them to pay money, thereby preventing people from being held in jail solely due to their inability to afford cash bail.

The primary goal is to ensure pretrial release decisions are based on factors like flight risk and public safety rather than a defendant's wealth.

Ask for a refund on your law degree.

Cashless bail is for smaller crimes like misdemeanors. It is only for people who show up for their court dates. You miss a court date, goodbye cashless bail.

It's not for serious crimes, flight risks, or anyone who misses court dates.

Cash Bail on the other hand is for rich people so they can keep committing crimes regardless of how serious the charges are. It's kind of like giving convicted pedophiles work release...like Trump and Friends did with Epstein and Maxwell.

You need to do some research, we're not talking about traffic tickets - as long as you sign the citation, its pretty much always been cashless bail. Felonies are up to review and can become cashless in a handful of states, namely Illinois. In states who are drowning in a deficit, it becomes more attractive to allow criminals to walk away until trial rather than put skin in the game. New York is another one, and this mayoral candidate likely to win, wants to put criminals into therapy sessions rather than jail. Good luck with that.
