    And knowing that they have a free reign to continue acting poorly (jail is a deterrent for obvious reasons) they will encourage more such behavior.

    sounds anecdotal

    It IS anecdotal. But it is also logical.

    When it is at the top of the local news every night it is a trend and not just a one-time anecdote.
    My opinion is that eliminating cash bail is a disaster for the safety of a community.

    When every local station is reporting the same thing -- including WRAL which has an obvious left-wing bias -- it is not a bias question.

    We don't restrict peoples' rights on the consequences of restoring those rights (cue mass shootings & the 2nd & minimal voter fraud on lax voter ID laws).
