Soon THESE CRIMES Won't Require Bail in Illinois

• https://www.theorganicprepper.com by Daisy Luther

Ironically, the new bill is called the SAFE-T Act. This reminds me of the "Patriot Act" and other bills with names that mean the opposite of the content.

Are we watching the Rule of Law crumbling right before our very eyes?

What crimes will no longer be subject to bail?

Part of this bill, the PreTrial Fairness Act, will do away with bail, as many people who are arrested can't afford it. As of January 1, 2023, the following  are just a few of the crimes will not require detention while waiting for trial:

Aggravated Battery

Aggravated DUI

Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding

Arson

Burglary

Drug-Induced Homicide

Intimidation

Kidnapping

Robbery

2nd Degree Murder

Threatening a Public Official

Nearly All Drug Offenses

They've replaced the word "bail" with "pretrial release" and it will no longer cost money. That's right – folks accused of violent crimes such as arson, battery, kidnapping, and murder will be A-OK to leave and come back later for their trial.
