Same old story. Those released on IBOND will never be heard from again till they commit their next crimes and once again they'll be released on IBOND.

Ken,
After reading your comment, which is upsetting, it is a shame the police don't hold these people or make them post something to insure they show up for court. With this in mind, I asked an police officer why are they so free with I-Bonds. I was informed that it is a law and they are mandated to release them on I-Bonds if the bad guy can't post cash, only felonies or warrants are mandated to be detained. On a good note, there are officers who hold these people for an entire shift before having them released on an I-Bond. I guess there is a little inconvenience for them, but until things change, that's the best they can do. Write your legislators and attempt to change things. I am in complete agreeemnet with you though Ken, what a shame....
