It's called the SAFE-T Act, and it’s aimed at reforming Illinois’ cash bail system.
A number of state’s attorneys and sheriffs are sounding the alarm about Illinois’ plan to end cash bail."Judges will have discretion in certain cases, like armed robbery is a case that is detainable. But for those other offenses you mentioned, second-degree murder, kidnapping, hate crimes, aggravated batteries, robberies – just to name a few – judges will not have discretion unless the person is a willful risk of imminent flight.
Those in support of the law say it’s wrong to keep people in jail simply because they can’t afford bail.that I have read and agree
DUH……Tell that F*t f*ck!
If a homeless man’s stabs someone in the neck on the Red Line, and the victim survives, the homeless man is free to go because of the no cash bail! Let that sink in….
I agree. Repeal it right now!!!
Uh duh lol over 200 have said this...from both parties.
Saf (4 crooks to) T(errorize Honest Citizens) Law. Gangbangers & lonewolf criminals r grateful to JB for green lighting expansion of criminal hunting grounds. Lib burb stroller moms easier to street rob, more submissive to muggers than city women, will surrender w/o resistance.
This ridiculous act by out of touch removed from reality politicians have emboldened criminals who already have Chicago locked into a 24 hour gun toting crime spray It will create an increase in crime knowing they can just get released they don't even need Kim Foxx for that now
'some' meaning 'all'
It actually becomes the basis for an ever expanding desire to oppress the People.
And cops lie.
Oh wow, getting on the corporate farmers bandwagon are ya
All of these colorful comments I hope you keep that same energy when it lands at your front door Kicking It In....
That's just common sense
You don’t say…? Why would anyone think that It’s one million percent going to make crime worse.
The very same people who sponsored this bill at 3:30 am on frigid winter morning and all the Illinois democrats who voted yes for their pro-criminal agenda, ask them why HB 5712 has been stalled since March?
What do you get when you cross SB 1609 and HB 3653?
I’m planning a camp out in Lightfoot’s backyard. Nice campfire, sing along. Toasting marshmallows. She can’t make us leave after Jan1. Who wants to join me?
It already is! Part of the Safe-T Act went into effect July 2021. I worked in the Cook County Sheriff's house arrest unit. This is what house arrest unit is dealing with now and no one is mentioning it at all!
All sane humans KNOW it will make crime worse.
I'm just surprised they didn't call it the Don't say Gay Act. Calling it the SAFE-T Act instead of the DANGER ENHANCEMENT ACT is misinformation.
of course it makes crime worse. We know its safe-t for the criminals. It mandates that they don't stay locked up until court date. This is for serious crimes. No bail. Everyone knows the truth. SAFE-T? Nice try🤣
Of course it will…it allows criminals to violate laws without any consequences. This isn’t rocket science.
Law enforcement officials lie about law enforcement policy regularly. And the capitalist media amplifies these lies.
😭🤣😭 Yea sure. Time to earn their pay. Let’s go.
Some law enforcement officials say the SAFE-T Act is going to make crime across Illinois better.
🙄Using PARANOIA & FEAR to scare people into NOT even reading the SAFE-T ACT is wrong. EVERYONE should READ IT! Stop listening to Republican lawmakers who DON’T wanna see mass shooters, gangs, crooked & racist cops be punished. They wanna keep blaming Democrats for crime. READ IT
OK this might be easier. Show of hands who thinks that this safety act is going to make things saver and cook county.
Some How about most
I’m pretty sure they’re ALL saying this.
No s h I t
Some? Don't be silly. Virtually All but a few
People this isnt the Democratic Party from 5 years ago…quit voting party lines. Look at the outlook of every blue city and state right now and it’s not good
My dog isn't for my safety, it's for yours. FAFO
We shall see. If it does change the law. Problem solved.
I'm ok with my ccl and making a mama or 2 cry and seeing the 8th grade graduation pic on the news.
Who voted for this policy, how can I find out who voted to make this a reality.
I have never committed a crime but thinking now that I might because of this law 🤨
“Some” I’m unaware of anyone outside of Fat Boy Pritzker that doesn’t think this
🥱
No cash bail is a bad idea. That is my humble opinion. We are also seeing the electronic monitoring system is not a good idea! Unfortunately nothing is perfect. Repeat offenders do not need bail. nobailforrepeatoffenders
you misspelled “vast majority”
Because they think poor people will reoffend? Then guess what a judge can revoke bail. The fear mongering of equity is really a tell
Some? Read it..all should KNOW it will make crime worse
And this is why I never watch because it just regurgitates Republican talking points whether they are true or not
Some?!?!
Only some law enforcement officials?
If by some you mean all.
$ for Bail is wrong wrong wrong.
No. It just levels justice -
Some? SOME? Failed attempt at gas lighting. Please name me one law enforcement official who thinks this is a good idea.
Media, like , is also responsible for pushing the propaganda last 2 years that helped get this Act passed.
Some? Vast Majority, Fake news
How about a pillow fight between the perps and the victims to determine bail
Excluding law enforcement from designing the law is like having environmental laws written by fossil fuel companies.
For sure. Crime will be at an all-time high. Victims will not be able to breathe easy. Knowing that there a assailants let free.
Some say it won’t make crime across Illinois worse. Maybe don’t just repeat Republican political talking points without thinking.
Terrible headline Fox 32 news, 99.9% of law-enforcement officials are concerned about this!
I still can’t believe the FOP endorsed Pritzker 4 years ago. Thanks for getting us into this mess! GLFOP
Here is the explanation .... vote DarrenBaileyIL
Hey Fox 32 which law enforcement officials say Safe-T Act is not going to make crime worse across Illinois? Some Law Enforcement Officials Fox 32?
Some...you mean ALL This incident could have been a lot worse. Once GovPritzker SafeTAct goes into the law Illinois (especially Chicago) will be a haven for criminals.
Agreed
Some? Uh, try lots, Fox. Lots and lots of them. Can you say burgeoning numbers? Don't worry if you can't. I can.
Law enforcement officers also think they can OD on fentanyl by simply touching it, so their opinions don't really mean much.
Some?
