Driver Denied Bail as "Substantial Risk to the Community"
So here’s the debate: should you deny bail based on a person’s risk to the community, or their flight risk? Historically/traditionally, bail was only used to guarantee that a person will appear at their court date. Should bail also be used as a way to protect a community, even if the person technically isn’t guilty until proven so (even though this particular case is fairly cut and dry…)?
