A judge has a right to impose pre-trial release conditions. Yes, I was a pr-trial release officer in Fl for 6 yrs.

I understand that it is common to ignore the constitution and invoke "pre-trial" conditions. Imagine if all political dissenters were accused of a crime and then given "pre-trial: conditions. That would be and effective tactic against dissent. Now imagine if their trail was postponed indefinitely. The police state would have power over any citizen they wished, suspending the 2nd amendment and tracking associations etc. And all it takes is a government prosecutor to file egregious charges and willing to abuse their position. This is almost commonplace with the social services cps crowd.

You probably did your job well, even according to the desires of your superiors, but you were a cog for cause of tyranny. The framers would not be impressed with our safe guarding of liberties they pledged their lives their fortunes and their sacred honor to pass to us.

You’re looking too deep into this. The judge uses the reasoning if ensuring public safety for doing this. A prime example is domestic violence. Nobody knows what the hell happened, but the judge will invoke his authority to order a no contact order. If someone(z) doesn’t folks that order, a writ of attachment is then ordered. I know it doesn’t sound cool, but a judge can articulate pre trial sanctions for the safety of the community..

Btw, thanks for calling me a cog for expressing facts. Pre trial restrictions are a fact. Thanks for showing your ignorance. It is what it is... I wouldn’t want a drunk driver out on bond to continue driving drunk. Would you? I would like some oversight and trust in the first appearance judge to have some discretion on the bond conditions.
