  1. Notice once again the person involved is already out on bail for other charges. I am sorry, but you are stealing, have drugs and weapons in your possession, you are by definition a DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and should be treated as such at your bail hearing. Stop worrying about what defendants can afford, and start worrying about the safety of your constituents.
