We agree? Wow!
The pre trial probation thing makes some more work for us, but also more money too. If someone pees dirty, we get an order to revoke the bond, so we got to find them and haul them in. After sitting for a while, normally another bond is set and we bond them again.
Kind of a double edged sword. But if the defendants followed the conditions of their bond, they wouldnt be in that position. So the extra cost and jail time is self inflicted.
Ive noticed that alot of them, if they are addicted to something that causes severe withdrawals, after being in the system, will check into a detox and treatment center to ease the pain. If they are smart, they will get cleaned out and it makes the system worthwile for everyone. Society included.
