    Bail is such an American concept. Break the law, but if you have money you can avoid some of the consequences, because of course rich people should be treated better

      I entirely agree with you, it’s a poverty penalty and should be abolished entirely -except for- the wealthy, who -should- be required to post bail to walk free, as a got-caught-being-antisocial wealth tax. :)

      So so many things about the American police state need to be fixed, really.
