Reply to comment by DRZ36 in Three arrested with 100 pounds of fentanyl in Mattapan apartment, DA says by FuriousAlbino

And your position is if the police accuse someone of a violent crime, they should sit in jail indefinitely unless they pay the government a bribe?

First of all, it’s not a payment to the government. It’s returned if you show up to court. Second, bail is an imperfect system and there are better alternatives that work in some circumstances, but it’s certainly better than locking up everyone until trial
