Emergency $0 Bail Schedule Ends Tomorrow
Press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office:
The California COVID-19 emergency $0 bail schedule will end tomorrow, June 20.
The Judicial Council of California voted June 10 to end the emergency schedule and the Chief Justice rescinded her statewide order extending time for defendants to be arraigned so that defendants would again be required to be arraigned within 48 hours.
“The Humboldt County Correctional Facility will continue to adhere to the State Judicial Council in accordance with the local Humboldt County Superior Court,” Humboldt County Correctional Facility Captain Duane Christian said. “We will continue to set bail as determined by the courts and facilitate adhering to the 48-hour time frame for individuals to be arraigned.”

??Its about time. ????
I want a new system…. “Extra 0 bail”. Letting people with multiple pending cases for violent crimes out on bail for their most recent violent crime for only a few thousand (stolen) bucks is fucking stupid…
If the criminal is out on bail for any crime, any arrest for a new crime should automatically make them ineligible for bail. They had their one chance and blew it. They should be allowed to rot in jail. Also, penalties for any crime committed while out on bail should be doubled, just like traffic fines in construction zones and safety corridors.
