Bail is designed to ensure you show back up for proceedings, and to protect the community if you present a danger to others. If you don't present a danger to others and you aren't running anywhere, then personal recognizance makes sense. It's an imperfect system but the solution is to give personal recognizance bail to more people not fewer.

Ok, I have no problem with him being released. I have a problem with him skipping the line and being out in an hour or two. Even serious white collar criminals spend a night before even seeing a judge and making a plea.
