Otherwise you are just saying poor people who can not afford the bail are more dangerous than people with money who commit the same exact crimes.
This statement is more an attack on the bail system itself than addressing the point Mason was making, that being that Harris advocated for an organization that actively assisted violent criminals to post bail.
Quote:A poor person has the exact same right to be free on bail as a wealthy person. The criminal justice system is not supposed to punish people just for being poor.
So, then your solution is to remand all people accused of a violent crime at the detention hearing?
