Illinois Eliminates Cash Bail: Public Safety vs Defendants' Rights
Illinois is set to become the first state to eliminate cash bail, a move causing widespread concern among law enforcement. The Illinois Supreme Court’s recent ruling favoring the elimination of cash bail has sparked intense debate, as it prioritizes defendants’ rights, potentially at the cost of public safety. Law enforcement officers are expressing fears about a possible surge in crime once this new law, part of the SAFE-T Act, takes effect on September 18. While those charged with a crime will no longer need to post bail, unanswered questions about the implementation of this change remain. Is Illinois prioritizing criminal rights over public safety? How will this affect the crime rate?
