I'm certain there will be people to disagree with how judges decides who stays in jail and who goes home.
People are in an uproar seeing as how several people accused of child abuse were allowed low bail (still in jail though) in NM.
The ACLU also has it's doubts.

Based on the vague words in the new law, CA has lots of work to do to get this new process going by next year.

California will become the first state to eliminate bail for suspects awaiting trial and replace it with a still murky risk-assessment system under a bill signed Tuesday by Gov. Jerry Brown. Based on the council’s framework, each county’s superior court will set its own procedures for deciding who to release before trial, potentially creating a patchwork system based on where a suspect lives. Most suspects accused of nonviolent felonies will be released within 12 hours of booking, while those charged with serious, violent felonies will stay in jail before trial. The new law gives judges wide latitude to decide what to do with other suspects based on their likelihood of returning to court and the danger they pose to the public. |
