All right, but the options being considered by the other poster was "cash bail" or "no bail." He was not talking about no-cash bail.

Imagine if a Democrat president raised taxes to have soldiers pick up trash and how the right-wingers in the government and media would respond.

“… About half of U.S. adults, 53%, say they approve of Trump’s handling of crime, the poll finds.
That’s higher than his approval rating on the economy, immigration and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine — which are in line with his overall approval rating [up from 40% to 45% in new AP poll]…”

The more people are focused on crime and the less on OBBB, inflation and tariffs, the better for Trump. Hence his sudden interest in a comprehensive crime bill.

A new poll shows handling crime is now a relative strength for President Donald Trump.

“… Trump also garners much stronger support from independents on crime than on other issues. Roughly half of independents approve of his handling of crime, compared with about 3 in 10 who approve of his handling of the economy, immigration and the Russia-Ukraine war.…”“… About half of U.S. adults, 53%, say they approve of Trump’s handling of crime, the poll finds.

When they say they approve of his handling of crime, are they referring to his handling of the crimes he commits or something else?“… About half of U.S. adults, 53%, say they approve of Trump’s handling of crime, the poll finds.

“… Until last year, a private real estate company controlled the retail inside the station. During the pandemic, as travel plummeted and crime spiked, Union Station — already suffering from declining retail and decaying infrastructure — suffered. Riders said incidents involving people in mental health crisismade them reluctant to spend time there.
For years, Union Station’s columned facade also was the backdrop for one of the city’s biggest homeless encampments, frequently referred to by advocates as a stop of last resort for some of the District’s most vulnerable residents. The National Park Service cleared the encampment in 2022, displacing dozens of unhoused adults, citing mounting concerns over public health and safety. Since then, the government has enforced a no-camping zone.
The station’s fortunes have improved. Amtrak seized control of the retail side of the building through eminent domain last year; new businesses have opened and it is again crowded with commuters, tour groups and shoppers.
… But occasional incidents continue. There was a fatal shooting in the station’s parking garage in February, not long before Duffy’s wife passed through.“

Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent
It was a sharp rebuke to the prosecutors who are dealing with the fallout from President Trump’s move to send National Guard troops and federal agents into Washington.
Prosecutors failed to put this Po'Boy threw the Grinder.

"... It remained unclear if prosecutors planned to try again to obtain an indictment against Mr. Dunn, 37, a former Justice Department paralegal. They could also forgo seeking felony charges and refile his case as a misdemeanor, which does not require an indictment to move forward. ..."Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent

It had previously been reported he was a DOJ attorney. I supported firing a DOJ attorney for this behavior (for conduct unbecoming), but firing a paralegal seems iffier to me.

Local DC cases are landing in federal courts. A judge says results are problematic
Hundreds of people have been arrested since President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown flooded the nation’s capital with federal agents and troops
Local DC cases are landing in federal courts. A judge says results are problematic
Hundreds of people have been arrested since President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown flooded the nation’s capital with federal agents and troops
"Citing “the most illegal search I have ever seen in my life,” a magistrate judge is upbraiding the federal government for the way it has handled arrests in the District of Columbia this month and says the possible effects — violations of rights and the potential for illicit detentions — are not legally acceptable.
“We don’t just charge people criminally, throw them in the jail for a few weeks and then bring them in here and say, ‘Oops, my bad,’” Judge Zia Faruqui said from the bench Monday. “I have never ever in my life seen something close to the illegality of this search.”
... Torez Riley was walking toward a Trader Joe’s in Washington last Monday when he was followed by a team of police officers and federal agents on patrol. The officers said they followed him into the store and found two unregistered guns inside his satchel. Riley was charged with being a felon in possession of firearms.
During a hearing Monday, Magistrate Judge Faruqui said he was “absolutely flabbergasted” that Riley was jailed for a week before prosecutors elected to drop the case. Faruqui, a former prosecutor, said it appears that the officers stopped Riley, a Black man, solely because his satchel appeared to be weighed down by something heavy.
“It is without a doubt the most illegal search I have ever seen in my life,” Faruqui said, according to a transcript. “A high school student would know that this was an illegal search.”
... On Monday, a prosecutor from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office said they decided that dropping the case against Riley was “in the interest of justice” after reviewing the case in greater depth. A spokesperson for Pirro’s office said she ordered the case’s dismissal after she saw video footage captured by police body cameras.
Faruqui made it clear Monday that he believes Pirro's office mishandled Riley's case. ..."

... “I have not seen a search that even remotely comes close to this. This would not pass muster for a first-year law school hypothetical exam to give both sides. It is blatantly illegal,” he said.
The magistrate judge's rebuke drew a sharp response from Pirro, a former Fox News host whom Trump appointed in May.
“This judge has a long history of bending over backwards to release dangerous felons in possession of firearms, and on frequent occasions, he has downplayed the seriousness of felons who possess illegal firearms and the danger they pose to our community,” Pirro said in a statement. ..."
