overly bureaucratic is an odd way to phrase " had actual kangaroo courts until the actual courts steppe din and shut them down ".

Too often the issue is the institution, not the job. Camden county replaced their entire police department and is faring much better.

Few people say seriously - no cops ever -

many people say 'the institution of the phila police department is un-recoverable'

Same with the PPA. It's not that having reasonable parking restrictions is bad, it's that the PPA itself is a criminal organization.

subsidizing Amtrak and industry because the ROWs are all whacky tbh.

right city diner is there

Oh yeah I mean, there would definitely be places like diners that still exist, probably just with a lot less shiny siding and neon lights.

i mean ok, but then there's definitely not going to be any cool diners next to subway stops.

Ah... yeah i just re-read it and still cant quite get it

Feel like modern medicine should have caught that one...

maybe there is a chinese notary in chinatown or similar you can go to?

thats ok, the junkie construction worker who backed into my radiator didn't do any damage either, and so felt non obligated to leave a note.

These are all fancy bars, Try "Brothers 2" or rosewood bar, or fireside tavern on oregon

just double replying

"An MDJ may not assign cash bail solely because a defendant faces serious charges.16 The rules further require that an MDJ conduct a careful individualized assessment of the arrested person and look at multiple factors, including the person’s community ties and history of employment.17 If an MDJ determines that cash bail is necessary to ensure appearance, they must then assess the financial ability of the defendant and should only assign a reasonable bail amount “no[] greater than is necessary to reasonably ensure the defendant’s appearance and compliance with conditions of the bail bond.”18 Under Pennsylvania law, MDJs may not impose cash bail for the sole purpose of incarcerating someone until their trial date.19 Pretrial detention must be the carefully limited exception to pretrial releas"

So clearly this is a case of "DEJURE" versus "DEFACTO" law/proceedings. Bail is absolutely used to prevent people from exiting jail before trial - the ALCU document pretty much proves that point with figures.

So either we should change the law / constitution or follow the law, and also maybe we need to ring up hollywood and have them stop making up random shit in procedural shows so we can all understnd how it works lol

oh... our laws are weird as shit. then why is it 800K and not 5K? surely a underage minor doesnt have access to capital?

I always forget this:

but regardless, you get a bail hearing.

As far as I know - Not in some cases, in all cases the preliminary hearing happens first, usually several hours after being charged and arrested. Literally the first thing that happens after they arrest you is put you in front of a judge and the DA and they set or deny your bail...

I think they meant to imply, there's not some sort of hearing AFTER you post bail. If the DA felt like they were too dangerous to get bail, they had ample time to make that case.

There is 100% a hearing. It's called your preliminary hearing where someone from the DA's office and a judge determine you bail. That's the absolute first thing that happens in any proceedings.

can't wait for a surveillance society that gives police more power because a very very small minority of philadelphians are fucking things up for everyone.

The problem with all of these isn't when the state gets it right, and keeps a murderer locked up - but that it consistently and egregiously gets it wrong.

yeah I don't know why this is controversial. Bail exists to ensure you show up to court, if you are not a risk. Risk is determined by judges and with input given by the DA and information provided by the police - later the defendants lawyer can petition to reduce it or review it or whatever.

it's a higher bail because someone is a flight risk, not because they're more dangerous. higher Potential sentencing outcomes = higher bail.

born to shit, forced to wipe

I feel like Eddie Dean could have said this as well

banishment

I don't disagree. There's a reason 3rd world countries are the way they are and enlightened ones are, well enlightened.

3rd world countries are barbaric and cruel because the economic situations force them to be so. Once their economic conditions improve a lot of problems are solved.

if you have bands of armed 14 years olds running around, you're heading in the direction of 'chopping arms off is a good response'.

because they're 14 year old

system is broken

we are doing it, i just got off the phone with Local 99 impervious surface pavers and they donated 600k to mayor icedwine's private charitable trust.

looks like parking lots are back on the menu boys
