Jumping Bail

In Texas, Judges Waive Bail for the Indigent, Distorting the Constitution [More]
It's not like he's opening a cage and letting out a maneater.  In this case, it's apparently for driving without a license, for which an arrestee "would otherwise be released"?

I guess my main problem with this is how would it be equal protection to make me pay? That and requiring a license in the first place and taking people hostage who don't comply, which is a whole 'nother set of arguments.

    David,

    One of the BEST blogs to get some real inside information on this is Grits for Breakfast. Seriously.

    The tag 'Harris County' will help.

    While there, see all the police misconduct accounts ... a whole lot of misconduct in Texas evidently.

    But if you don't drive on state roads, you don't need a state license.

    Just sayin'. ;)
