There is case where the suspect is not hazard, but they can run a way so the bond use to cover the cost of bringing them back to court.

We already pay the people who would do that work whether anyone runs or not.

Tax is not enough to pay for everything. Given how hard it is to get money from criminal, punishment for running away is better be paid upfront.

Everything, and I mean every resource I think you'd reasonably use to catch a non-violent suspect, has ALREADY been paid for.

It better be paid by the suspect and not tax payer.

It's already paid for by the tax payer. It's the existing police force. Literally nothing new will be provided for with bail money.

Bail money also go to the police and juridical. Remove bail mean more tax will require to cover the lost revenue from bail.

You're aware that the bail is given back if they don't run, correct?

Bail serves no purpose except to cuase poor people to lose their jobs for a crime they have not been convicted of.

So it a great incentive for people to show up, and we do not have to hide more police to chase after those.
