Zero cash bail takes effect in Los Angeles County amid ongoing concerns over crime
Fox News
Los Angeles County's zero-bail system went into effect on Sunday, sparking criticism from law enforcement and local residents concerned about a rise in crime.
Now, the zero-bail system, officially known as Pre-Arraignment Release Protocols, is facing criticism from supporters of law and order who argue it removes accountability from the justice system by allowing most suspects arrested for allegedly committing a crime to be quickly released from custody instead of remaining in jail as they await charges and trial unless they are accused of the most serious of crimes.
