12:47 am
wife beth chapman, they were in new jersey a week ago, they went to lobby legislature, we wanted to hear from drug policy alliance, when they heard we were telling june's story they backed out, they would say if they were here, they pointed out that people were killed before by criminals who are out on monetary bail. they fully support bail reform, and want people to hold back and wait reserve judgment, have more time go by before they make their own judgment. >> thank you, rob for joining us, you can't deny the point that people who have paid monetary bail, gotten out and committed crimes, but how many people need to die before you look at fact that this system has let criminals, hardened criminals in in cases with years of records, to show, out on the streets? >> yeah, it happens on money bail. but difference is, money bail, as you know a lot of people
12:48 am
don't understand, as a bail bond company, if i bail you out of jail, i get your family involved, they cosign for you, they will aid in monitoring of you. they will cut okay they have money on-line. they are going to make sure you stay on the straight and narrow, they talk about electronic monitoring, in mercy county they ran out of electronic monitoring by the end of january, christie goes on the air talks about how initially he said everyone is being monitored. no, they are not, some is called in 1 a week once a week, some i? >> self monitoring. >> right. that is a problem. if a guy misses court, a client missed court we -- now we get him, you know keep this in mind, we'll track him, and bring him back at zero cost to taxpayer, most courts want to see my monitoring record, when i have him check in or gps. if we can't show that we
12:49 am
monitored them we get fined. i guarantee that no one is going after preprial trial service -- pretrial services. >> problem that at least the defenders of this said they were trying to solve was you had people on petty crimes being held because they could not come up with 150 that problem is solution, seems to made the problem worse. but what do stye that part of the argument in terms of need to reform bail it stands to reason, if a guy can't come up with a hundred bucks, it was a driving issue that seems a little bit ridiculous to house him in jail. >> i say, is bail reform does not address municipal court cases, numbers they came up with their study, 12% of people in jail, county jail, in under 2500 dollar bail or less, there are no county bails set at 2500,
12:50 am
that is set at 2500 are municipal court fines and bails that 12% remains. you still have as an example. you go out and you. >> does not even solve a little bit. >> you go out, you are caught with a second degree of drugs, they type you in, a magic number comes out, and they say you are free to go, but if you owe a fine, you are not free to go. >> when asked need about bail reform, i was a u.s. attorney, nothing to see here, herer withe perfect. >> the federal system has so few cases they have the time to keep people and do their investigation prior to charging them. at a county level, you can't do, that you can't expect federal
12:51 am
system to work at county level, it is never going to happen, there is too much volume, i want to jump back. you talked about indigent people not able to get out of jail. most bail bonds men, all i would venture to say, don't want indejen peoplindigent people to. in new jersey there are counties with a program called slap it has different names, meaning one meaning super attended labor assistance program, if you are in a county jail, you owe fines or you owe jail time because you failed to pay. they have a program where you can go out under the direction of one correction office, you can work on county roads, and county ball feels on county property. they work off their time. they work off their days, they work off their fines, we don't
12:52 am
use that enough here. >> who benefited from this? a couple of judges that came out, the governor is aggressively for it you would think that the way they painted it, people opposed some people allege racism that this is about keeping minorities behind bars. at least from my stand point, not racism, i am going to charge same amount of money, whether you are black, white or green, i am charging same amount of money for you to get out of jail. >> bill. >> i think we can raise when it comes to inner-cities there are many more african-americans living in areas, we look at national statistics with drug arrests, a disproportionate amount are arrested for same crimes than whites do, there are
12:53 am
more issues, there are dynamics. >> flip side of bail reform, if you have committed or alleged to commit a higher crime you are no way getting out of jail, have you your right to put up a bail removed, your constitutional right is removed, you sit in jail for a year or two. >> dog the bounty hunter and beg made that point. does the court have right to deny bail? >> they can only deny bail in crimes with that capital punis.
