Illinois is passing a law that some would say will make history. Illinois is looking to be the first state in the United States to abolish cash bail. And the consequences of passing such a law have many believing the state could mirror the horror movie “The Purge”. In the film, citizens were given 24 hours to commit all the crimes they wanted.
On January 1st of 2023 the ‘SAFE-T’ Act will commence in the state of Illinois. This act will get rid of the cash bail system in its entirety. The name SAFE-T is an acronym for ‘Safety, Accountability, Fairness, and Equity-Today’. Those that instated the act believe it will reduce arrests and limit those put away based on the crime.
Non-Detainable Offenses
There are 12 non-detainable offenses where the new law would end cash bail. The law includes second-degree murder, arson, drug-induced homicide, robbery, kidnapping, aggravated battery, burglary, intimidation, aggravated driving under the influence, fleeing and eluding, drug offenses, and threatening a public official.
The Safe-T Act would allow criminals a pre-trial release for the crimes listed above. And if prosecutors fail to show “clear and convincing evidence” that the alleged could be a threat to a specific individual. Unfortunately, the consequences of the Safe-T Act make an impact on how fast arrested criminals must be dealt with. Because prosecutors would only have 48 hours to decide whether the alleged criminal should be released. Investigators believe that 48 hours isn’t enough time to collect valuable evidence from surveillance cameras, laboratory work, and forensic research.

Unbelievable...Chicago needs this like they need lightfoot as mayor.
Wuh?
Right on.
Amen! Sure glad I don’t live in Illinois.
The country is rocketing it’s way to hell!
>>So I can walk on second degree manslaughter.
Only if you’re the right skin color. This law is not intended to be equally enforced.
Apparently trespass will be fine and dandy with no LEO response if someone is in your home or business. Unless you do something to the trespasser. Then you end up in the hoosegow.
Good Grief!!
Knowing some areas and people in Illinois, this is going to get a lot more criminals goodified.
“So I can walk on second degree manslaughter.”
He!!, second-degree murder!
“Those that instated the act believe it will reduce arrests and limit those put away based on the crime.”
It won’t do anything to reduce crime though, which is what criminal laws are supposed to do.
