A person's bail was previously based on the severity of the claims against them

Twelve counties sued the city on Friday in a last-minute attempt to block the law

Law enforcement officials have blamed the law for recent store robberies

Los Angeles' controversial zero-bail policy went into effect on Sunday after a judge ruled that the old cash system discriminated against minorities and the poor.

A person's bail amount was previously based on the severity of the allegations against them - but critics argued this benefited those who could pay.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Reason 1001 for staying clear of the city and county of Los Angeles, fortunately I have very little reason to go to either any more.
