President Donald Trump wants to eliminate “cashless bail” in the nation’s capital and across the country. But what exactly does that mean, and what is the controversy all about?

Red States have cashless bail. Is he going to pick and choose like sending troops into blue states with less crime than red?

Let trumpf explain what it means WITHOUT assist from a staffer. Let everyone watch the chaos. He has no idea what he is signing. Validity of his signature is a very big question.

But this type of bail bond is acceptable? "Knight Specialty Insurance Co., the entity that underwrote Trump’s bond, is part of a group of companies run by Los Angeles-based billionaire Don Hankey, who is No. 128 on the 2023 Forbes 400 list and No. 317 on the 2023 Forbes billionaires list."

Some of you are confused about when bail comes into the criminal justice system. You can’t get bail once you’ve been sentenced to prison.

It means that all the "for profit" prisons run by his donors will make billions as most people won't be able to afford full cost of bail and will have to wait for trial in jail Remember, #trump himself didn't pay his full bail when he was charged, either.

It will lead to more poor people pleading to anything just to get out of jail to try and keep their jobs, keep their families together or to keep social services in place with are cut off after 30 days of incarceration.

Trump is pushing to eliminate cashless bail. Cashless Bail means that a person who has been accused of a crime, but not yet convicted, shouldn’t be held in jail based on what’s in their bank account. Just as he did, so now nobody can do it. But also the prison system appears very lucrative nowadays

Cashless bail is a confusion of terms. The ignorance of Demonology, Media or both.

Dr Quinn @saqz007.bsky.social

It is a indeed a contradiction of terms, since bail means money or property valued in monetary terms.

Controversy is whether he can or not. It's a local matter not subject to Executive Order. At another point, it's pure Demonology actively used in Demon cities. Crime wo expense. Pathetic. No bail SB cashless. This is where Demonology turns ordinary Americans. Off.

Trump is a six time bankrupted & seems morally bankrupt to do the right thing for America. The GOP needs to use their balance of power on all these dictator executive orders wrecking the world economy stop Military private ICE police taking over US cities. This doesn’t even resemble America anymore.

What it means, as usual, is that the poor, again, usually minorities, will be disadvantaged in the legal system. Meanwhile more well to do white folks will continue to have access to bail.

He can do that if Congress passes a law abolishing cashless bail for those charged with federal crimes. But he cannot do it to every state.
