Loosening the cuffs: Bail Elimination Act takes away cash bail for misdemeanors and non-violent felony offenses | Warsaw's Country Courier

Loosening the cuffs: Bail Elimination Act takes away cash bail for misdemeanors and non-violent felony offenses | Warsaw's Country Courier: Aggravated vehicular homicide. Manufacturing methamphetamine. Heroin sales.

These are all crimes that come Jan. 1, the police will no longer be able to make a custodial arrest for. Officers, instead, will have to issue desk appearance tickets for the charges and the suspects will be on their way out the door, back onto community streets without pretrial detention.
