The state of Illinois wants to pass a law that does away with cash bail. Now I know someone is going to say”oh they are going to put the bondsman out of biz” no Illinois and a few other states like Kentucky don’t have. Bondsman. So what that means is if your bond is 1000.00 you have to pay the full amount. Not like in Tennessee where you pay a bondsman a percentage and he puts up the bond for you. So why is the “no cash bail” a bad idea? Well like I just showed you plus, bail is a constitutional right. If you do away with bail then they can hold a person on the belief that they are a danger to society. Example, ever heard of anyone ever telling a lie and getting someone locked up?
