Do you know the details of this particular case? Or are you just basing this on a headline you read?
In this climate of disappearing people who disagree with you, and targeting political opponents, I’m not sure I’m comfortable with locking everyone up without due process.
Not saying it’s the case, at all, but if you wanted to take someone down, planting cp on their computer is a sure fire way to do it. Particularly because of (understandable) knee jerk reactions like yours.

Illinois does it right. No bail. Either you are released pending trial, or you see a judge where you may be held pending trial.
New York State has bail. Why this guy was released without even having to post bail is beyond me.
Who is upvoting this shit?

I’ve recently been finding that lemmy isn’t much better than reddit.
It almost feels like a concerted effort to make this website shitty by injecting Trump defenders and fake leftists. Shit is fucking weird.
Bail is an abhorrent, very American, concept
Indeed, it favours rich and punishes poor people

Woooosh. Yes, they’re basing their dad joke on the headline and it’s enought for the joke to work well.
This really confirms that the judiciary is just another branch of the political parties.
Always has been.
