This cost him $1200 he will never see again.

Many a crime would never occur if potential perpetrators knew for sure they would gain nothing and it would cost them just $1,000 every time.

Of course, that is not the case, though.

@Bewildered, you are absolutely correct, don’t know if we can turn it around or not. It would be nice if we could meet a protest with a protest, OH but wait we have to work for a living and not off the backs of others or live with our mommies and daddies. They need to keep their fingers crossed that we stay employed or the benefits stop.

Bond is strictly business – our justice system is designed to make sure the majority of people come up with the money to pay it.. Had the deputy punched him in the eye and face protesters (both paid and unpaid) would be lining our streets demanding justice for this poor abused black man. This mindset of “it pays playing the eternal victim” has been systematically been programmed into young people by our education system. It’s far too late to turn this ship around – we will see in another 20 years if we chose a desirable destination.

@DLow yes the bond is an attempt to make sure the suspect appears for court, but it’s also used to insure the safety of others, higher bond will keep them detained longer. And he has clearly demonstrated violence towards others.

The article should read, cantonment man life flighted to area hospital clinging on to life after putting his hands on a deputy, period. No bond needed at this time. I encourage everyone to go ride with your local agency and get a first hand look for yourself. And if you should happen to witness a crime follow it to the end go to court and watch and see the outcome. I think you’d be surprised at what you learn.

I agree that the bail is way too low. it sounds like several people could have died or been seriously injured. let the bail fit the crime first and income second.

@DLo—Of course it is not a fine, & that is not what they are saying. What they are saying is that the bond should be in line with what the “alleged” degree of committed crime is. The worse & more violent the “alleged” crime, the higher amount the bail bond should be, as that to me (& others) would be only common sense. The amount of bond whether high or low as proven in the past, does not always guarantee someone will show up in court. A very high bond though, just might keep a violent person off the streets until court date.

Every time someone makes bail, the chorus starts about bond is too low, BOND IS NOT PUNITIVE, IT IS NOT A FINE FOR COMMITTING A CRIME, IT IS THERE TO ENSURE THE ACCUSED SHOWS FOR COURT.

The Deputies have a bond chart that is provided from the Court. It recommends high and low bonds for charges. Hands are tied.
