New state law causes concerns (Oregon's new catch and release law)

Sheriff Chris Kaber is concerned for the security of Klamath Basin community. On June 14, the Klamath County Sheriff’s Office issued a press release warning the public of upcoming changes to pretrial release procedures in Oregon. A bill passed by the 2021 Oregon Legislature (Senate Bill 48) allows for the majority of those charged with low-level crimes to be released immediately after booking, often without bail.

“When someone is suspected of victimizing others, it is appropriate for them to be brought before the judge for their initial plea. That is best accomplished by holding them in jail until they appear before the court or requiring some form of assurance (bail) that they will appear before the judge at a later date," Kaber said in the news release.

The new law is meant to establish consistent pretrial release procedures statewide, as well as reduce reliance on security releases (bail) and detention prior to conviction. Pretrial release, detention and bail reform are nationwide movements that have been adopted by Illinois, California, Nebraska, Indiana and New York.

What the ‘criminal’ reform missed is the judges. Had they passed the law stating that a judge’s retirement is decremented 1% for every no-show that they released, this foolishness wouldn’t be necessary.
