Bill passed by Republican-dominated state senate may exacerbate deadly overcrowding in Fulton county jail
Oh man. Wait until suddenly, a bunch of “Patriots” get arrested and need bail.
why does this sound like a constitutional problem? can they tell people what to do with their money?
no question its pure evil.
can they tell people what to do with their money?
I mean… yeah.
But not if the people are corporations. Then it’s free speech.
They’re not banning people from providing money for bail, they’re banning people from collecting money to pay bail without their local sheriff’s permission. That’s broadly legal for the same reason it’s legal to have a law against fraud, it’s just shitty behaviour.
seems weird a sherriff can tell a bunch of people how they can collect money considering they arent doing it illegally.
i can see scrutinizing illegal sources of cash, but making a legal path suddenly illegal only for the purposes of bail sounds untenable.
Won’t that prevent Trump from using his pacs from paying his bills?
