“No cash bail means that criminals are able to go out and be able to commit their crime and harass and attack the same people that are the reason why they were in jail in the first place,” said Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.).
One hundred of the 102 state’s attorneys in Illinois are opposed to the state’s new cashless bail provisions, which are set to take effect next year for crimes such as second-degree murder.
The state’s new criminal justice reform law — the Illinois Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today (SAFE-T) Act — is a 764-page omnibus bill that was passed by the state Senate at 4 a.m. on the last day of a lame duck legislative session and passed by the state House less than 24 hours later. Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the measure into law in January 2021, but provisions such as abolishing cash bail and not allowing trespassers to be removed from properties by police will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2023.
Some county and village boards, such as Boone County and Orland Park Village, have unanimously approved resolutions to repeal or change the SAFE-T Act.
According to a press release from the Orland Park Village Board, a suburb of Chicago, cash bail will be abolished for crimes such as “kidnapping, armed robbery, second degree murder, drug induced homicide, aggravated DUI, threatening a public official and aggravated fleeing and eluding.”
Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau (R) told “Just the News, Not Noise” TV show on Thursday that the cashless bail isn’t the only issue with the law.
Soros soros soros soros$$$he supported everyday useless DA . How is this not treason? sedition? Why isn’t the fbi raiding his offices and his tentacles of luciferan funding sources?
got to hand to these demons they sure stick together to push the LIES DECEPTION CONFUSION and hate!! With laws like this they want you dead.. or so pissed that the street revolution or vigilantes start placing these scumbags in ditches.!
It’s the move they need from us to justify the marxist slaughter that would follow.
All of those snot nosed state’s attorneys and liberal judges, should be fired!! I only hope it is their family that suffers at the hands of those thugs being turned loose.
7:38 you need to re-read the article. It said that 100 of the 102 State’s Attorneys OPPOSED the cash bail system.
Entropy.
We can slow it down (but we AREN’T) but we cannot stop it.
Regular citizens need to arm themselves. “We, the People” will soon be on our own against the lawless parts of our society.
DEMOCRATS.
Thank them.
For nothing but the destruction of the USA.
