That\u2019s basically the rule, as I understand it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for cashless bail, Raskin questioned why Harris, Moore and Rep. Chuck Edwards, a Republican from Flat Rock, who joined his fellow Republicans, believed that cashless bail was wrong, reminding them that it\u2019s used across the federal system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey all use a cashless bail system,\u201d Raskin said. \u201cWhen a person is brought forward on an arraignment before the court \u2026 the court asks one simple question, which is: Is this person a flight risk, or do they pose a danger to themselves?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said someone shouldn\u2019t be held unnecessarily because they can\u2019t afford to pay $5,000.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin also said that the cash bail system is a multimillion-dollar business and very active in politics. He said bail bondsmen don\u2019t want to see local governments adopt the federal cashless bail system because it would cost them money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m surprised that there are members of Congress who are demonizing jurisdictions simply because they prefer to employ a policy that exactly mirrors federal law,\u201d Raskin said. \u201dTo say that that\u2019s somehow soft-on-crime strikes me as just bizarre, unless the entire federal system is soft-on-crime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raskin said he\u2019s fine with requiring the Department of Justice to compile information that\u2019s already publicly available.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/charlotterelocationguide.com\/?p=158\">Well-known Charlotte chef opens new gourmet burger and fries joint.
