door. who can blame him for making a quick getaway. >> deborah: and that's "inside edition" for today. i'm deborah norville. thanks for watching. we'll see you next time. e's log committed every single day. >> the battle over bail reform. lawmakers with let's call it good intentions to keep nonviolent criminals back on the street and out of behind bars if they couldn't come up with a couple hundred bucks for bail. >> repeat offenders probably commit 50 crimes to the one you catch them for. there's lots of crimes being committed every day and were catching just a small ratio of those people. >> the system that failed individuals but it profited bail bonds people. >> our brother here's obviously not a bill bondsman. >> your freaking out about something that has nothing to do

with it. >> your bunch incompetent fools and not to be fired. >> all my daughter's birth pictures were in the third-flo third-floor. >> may be right. >> one of the most controversial things happening in new jersey is the battle over bail reform. lawmakers with its color good intentions to keep nonviolent criminals back on the street and out of behind bars if they couldn't come up with a couple hundred bucks for bail. the result of the reform according to many in law-enforcement some victims families have led to an unprecedented release of violent criminals back onto our streets in new jersey. i'm joined by dog the bounty hunter, welcome back to chasing news, chapman, good to have you. mike donovan, you are part of a lawsuit that is suing governor christie. i want to get you in a minute but i want to introduce june

rogers. your son christian rogers was gunned down to a 26 result. you say this was entirely preventable. the man accused of killing your son was arrested by state police just four days before allegedly taking your son's life. i'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for your courage. your back in new jersey talking to lawmakers in trenton say that something has to be done. this whole bail reform nonsense, were not opposed to reforming the bail system but letting violent criminals out on the street has gone too far. >> absolutely. the hug a thug program has gone beyond what it planned to do. >> we met with an assembly man who pass the law who is a great speaker after we met with you. and beth, about had a heart attack because she said listen, do you think he made the right decision that and give me a heart attack, and he said, beth,

we did not. and she said may have a letter that says that? and he said absolutely. >> the basically came out said it wasn't working out and what they were sold was not how it turned out. they're guaranteed it would be nonviolent, the below line misdemeanors and that is not what was happening. >> the idea was that it was somewhat arrested for nonviolent crime that couldn't come up with a couple hundred bucks was i can to spend months if not longer waiting for a trial. >> ray. people are pleading guilty just so they could get out. look, repeat offenders probably can't commit 50 crimes to the one you catch them for. we are catching just a small ratio of those people. >> but go out and say people who are victims of these crimes have no right, no voice and they should be heard whatsoever is absolute lunacy.

>> my, your group is behind this lawsuit. your funding and. >> that's correct. >> ours is the largest pro bono law firm in the country. we started it, i fund it and it acts as a private attorney general. we go all over the country and we sue governments who abuse the constitutional rights of their citizens. nowhere is that clear than in the case of june and her family whose over the ultimate loss because of area politicians. >> remember the assembly push this through saying this was a mistake, of the talking about rewriting a bill, could it be done another way that lawmakers get back together and say this is how we change it so it doesn't happen again? >> when we're here last time we were trying to run down sweeney. >> senate president. >> and the arrogance of not just chris christie, but also sweeney prevented us from even fixing the.

>> joining us now as alex from the new jersey civil liberties union. welcome. >> thank you alex, you've heard about this bill on the objections to it, violent offenders on the street, crimes being committed in at least one case an allegation that this bill has caused the death of a young man. >> i think that's a really reckless position to take. it ignores the reality of the old system that we have. under the old system people got arrested, they posted bail and they needed to do time. the only difference between the system and the system in terms of public safety is not people like jewels black can be detained without bail. mr. black is currently detained, that was even possible last december. so let's not pretend the old system was a fair one or one that protected public safety. what we need to remember is

there a 1500 people in jail in new jersey and they couldn't post 2500 bucks. the system that failed individuals in public safety but it profited bail bonds. >> my brother here's obviously not a bill bondsman. because if you would've called any bill bondsman in new jersey we would've looked up his record. because he had 20 address, 20 priors, a lot what drugs and guns we would said who's cosigning, your mother, your dad, your uncle, your brother? we check with the neighbors and we would make sure that bond was secure. if you are caught owning, possessing or somebody tells us you have a gun we will revoke that bond put you back in jail. >> do you think maybe there's a point not being discussed, that there's a responsibility when you involve a bill bondsman to hold someone accountable. stumbled has a stake in the sky showing up? >> is not just showing up.

here's the problem with my friend mr. dog. if he had known this guy a road posted bail. question is what happened the last 27 times? >> i have the same question of the aclu. as he said, jewels black committed this crime on april 9. four months after the law went into effect. if it were correct and i have to disagree with you alex, they had the discretion under the old law to hold him and they knew he had 28 times been in jail. at least 12 gun charges. he had been caught with a 9-millimeter four days before. that was so important because they had the ability to hold him but the faulty product that we are so said he was low risk and release him from liability. second full to his 1500 people in jail is a fake number. it's a false statement. i'll tell you why.

>> hold on one second. >> i want to hear everything you have to say alex. >> because a lot of people were not being held solely for a minor misdemeanor. they have probation violations, hold some of the counties, other detainers. >> you're saying the 1500 number may be true, but this idea that it's only because of not being able to post bond. >> when they whittle it down is actually like 42 people were being held. >> how do you address that? how to answer that? why is the aclu not behind some kind of reform that would address the small number of people? >> it's not all or nothing. the only people think it's all or nothing are those who profited from the old system. they can call fake news all they want. the statistic has been cited from the supreme court.

>> what you're doing instead is taken away or private industry opportunity and have done is you've created a situation that allows the child of june rogers to be murdered. at the end of the day, when law-enforcement and the attorney general backlash because the necklace stay on that limb with you, what ultimately happened as more people like new jersey weed man will be detained and not able to post bond and not come out as al at all. >> what about the constitutional rights to have bail? >> there is a constitutional right to have bail, there's a constitutional rights not have excessive bail. what these guys want is a constitutional right to continue to pay your way out of supervision. >> we need to wrap it up. i appreciate your passion on this issue. we want to have you back. i want to continue this conversation because i suspect this is not over.

the question is, what is this bill reform? do the politicians really have blood on their hands? you decide, let me know. at the show up at chasing news. thank you. >> after -- senator bodman and his communications rector did their best to avoid questions about his upcoming corruption trial in september. the senior senator faces a ten count indictment accusing him of doing favors for a wealthy eye dr. and in return, menendez receiving lab us gifts such as trips to the dominican republic via private jet. more than a week ago the senators high-profile attorney, abby filed a motion to have all charges dropped.

>> senator, your attorney recently filed a motion to have the charges dropped or kenny? >> will wait for the judge. looking forward to the opportunity to ultimately be exonerated. >> the motion filed by the attorney stems from rulings and other similar corruption cases involving a politician. the supreme court ruled that a lawmaker can't be convicted unless they had engaged in quote, the formal exercise of government power in return for the gift. that doesn't include a politician setting up meetings and making phone calls. yeah, what the supreme court defies says official action many argue is vague. the big question is, can senator bob menendez hold onto his seat until next january? the appointment will be determined by who becomes new jersey's next governor. even if menendez is convicted it takes two thirds of the vote for the senate to expel a member. we will know more as a senator appears before the judge in

september. we will keep you posted as a goes to trial. >> on june 14, jennifer, cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy visited the eatontown letter vehicle commission to use her old photo thinking they would understand what happened. instead she her, you have to take that thing off. referring to her

in october 2015 i covered a story on a woman named joann, she was undergoing chemotherapy for cancer when she got a letter from the motor vehicle commission that said her license was expiring and she needed a new one. joanne was losing her hair to the chemotherapy was in a fragile state. she complied and went to the motor vehicle office thinking she could use her old license photo because of her appearance. she didn't want her current appearance to define her for the next four years. the clerk told her no and furthermore, according to joey said she was embarrassed. >> when i got there i told my had cancer and i look sick and don't want my identification to look sick. so can i use the last 1 inch said this our policy. >> flash forward to today, motor vehicle commission has not change their tune on the subject with her attitude according to

40-year-old jennifer brick, new jersey. on june 14, jennifer was also cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy and visited the eatontown what a vehicle commission. and she tried to do the same thing, to use her old photos thinking they would understand what had happened. not that far away are long ago in 2015. >> i left there and i was so shocked and hurt and angry and upset. i had all these feelings flowing through me. >> instead she heard this in front of everybody according to jennifer, you've got to take that thing off. now, the motor vehicle commission employee was referring to her headscarf. she said she was mortified she broke down in tears in front of a full room of strangers. >> she said you have to take that thing off. and we went back and forth about three different times and i

repeated myself, i have breast cancer, on ball, i have no hair and she was adamant about me taking my scarf off. >> jennifer did not have any other option, or did she. what she did was a little different than what joe dan joanne did. joanne tried to get legislation to her legislation, jennifer filed a lawsuit. >> i shouldn't be subjected to the kind of embarrassment humiliation that i was subjected to. so that is the goal of the lawsuit. to try to get the motor vehicle commission to change its policies and procedures so that training is provided for employees. >> now she filed the lawsuit for what happened because according to state law, medical patients can actually use their driver's license photos if their company

by medical letter by their dr. >> you think that with facial recognition technology, which is why you can't smile in your picture, that it would matter what's on your head. thank you. >> high-speed chase. >> check out this home is like a regular one except timing. it's in colorado and there's about 45 more these at the colorado tiny home festival. so normal american home is about 3000 square feet and these homes are between one and 400 square feet. the homemakers hoped ultimately expand the tiny home industry. >> things have gotten wild in times square. they called rude.
