The phone rings at FBI headquarters. “Hello? I’m calling to report my neighbor, Clifford. He is hiding marijuana inside his firewood!” “Thank you very much for the call, sir.” The next day, FBI agents descend on the neighbor’s house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They swear at the neighbors and leave. The phone rings at the neighbors house. Hey, Clifford, did the FBI come?” “Yep.” “Did they chop your firewood?” “Yep.” “Great, now it’s your turn to call. I need my garden plowed.”

Yeah, he’s an exceptional guy. Hopefully, with technology giving people a voice unlike anytime in history. People having more access to information ~ and real world examples, be it historically or currently. It’s only a matter of time until a new~better system is created. Realistically only a handful of people have dramatically & directly influenced each society/ humanity. Previously you’d have to be born in power, like King Sejong ( A Korean king, that created the Korean language, and had its people and kingdom (government) drop “Chinese”) Or be born at the right time, Alan Turning ~ The father of problem solving computing. ( Who wouldn’t have received funding nor the team if it wasn’t for WW2. And because of his sexual preference, would’ve never been taken seriously. Or, you’d need to have to extraordinary willpower & foresight, such as MLK. Even though he’s gotten a lot of flack, Dennis Rodman impacted the world, by going to a closed country. It may have been minor, but no one else did what he did. Sadly, scumbags like Steve Jobs greatly slowed down the process of human society. Forcing so much $ to be wasted unnecessarily for private gain. Most of the great minds in computing & programming, saw it as a great equalizer. Hopefully there is someone out there, wealthy and powerful enough, to see how greatly society could benefit from making devices, cheaper, more accessible. So more ideas can get out there. ( Bill Gates has done an incredible amount of work globally.) If a business, decides to design smart phones, laptops, computers, to be cheaper, easily upgradable, that would be a huge business. Which ‘could’ lead to better solutions, options being found, supported & taken more seriously.
The public defender seems like a very caring, compassionate man. The way he talks you can tell he is a very kind person, nice to see someone like that taking up such an important role.
Never had warrants against me. Never had to post bond for a criminal offense. Yet, I had two of these bounty hunter idiots come on my property looking for someone I'd never heard of, called me a liar and threatened me when I told them I didn't know the person. When they started toward me, they found I was armed and changed their attitude. My impression? They're dirtbags who can't get an honest job.
Dude, I'm furious. Watching those idiots trying to open the door & threaten to shoot his dog in the head made me want to arm myself. And then to be brought to a bails bond place to be disrespected by some out-of-touch power-hungry psychopath. Holy shit, it's a private company not the state. OPEN FIRE!

I was arrested over a decade ago and thrown in jail for days my nails was 50k, I paid 5k to get out and another 3500 for a lawyer and the case was dismissed before my lawyer even did anything for the case. Needless to say I didn’t get a refund from the bail company or the lawyer even though he didn’t do anything . The whole system is corrupt and it’s a huge money grab.

I lost hope in the justice system. I went to court for the first time ever in my life at 24 years old. I was issued a citation to appear in court because the police said I fled from an area of crime I was never visiting/loitering. I went to court they offered a plea of guilty for 8 days. I pleaded not guilty. I sat and sat in jail for at least a month. I had my own place to live and gainfully employed in Seattle. Caught the ferry from kidnap/kitsap county to king. I was so tired of rotting in jail not hearing in anything. I had bills to pay, wearing on my mind, I kept to myself because I had nothing in common with the inmates. Even the guards knew this is not a violent person so they moved to a more relaxed pod. I saw people in there for murder and violent offenses and two weeks later they were sentenced. Me nothing felt abandoned. I called my public defender and said I want to plea guilty. From that phone call two days later I was out, Nothing I could do. I got home looked at my ferry ticket, my work schedule and my paperwork incident pissed off and crying because it was proof I wasn’t even there. Can’t flee from a crime when I’m in different city at work. If the cops came over and they want me for a crime then here’s a proof of perjury. 48 years old today and still my only charge. For the first couple of years out I was scared to interact with the public, I even wanted to be a sheriff once with wcloe Washington certificate law enforcement. Not so much anymore.
He was a wise old cat, too bad he's probably one of the few thinking that way. It really does suck when you realize a problem but are helpless to solve it.
Juan Araujo this foo. We’re not going to release possible murderers, rapist, etc with no incentive to actually appear in court. If they are innocent they get out.
You clearly dont understand the purpose of bail money...sure the amounts the judges set are ridiculous in america, but you got to have some kind of incentive for people to face their charges and a mean to punish them if they dont
I'm sorry, what did you expect? Do you see the type of clientele they serve? Should she offer tea and crumpets? Sing Kumbaya? Brush their hair out of their eyes and make them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? The bondsmen have to be meaner and more rotten than their worst client or they'll be eaten alive.
You presume the people they work with are angels. You need to be tough and streetwise to do well in that business. "Nice" people would get steamrollered.
@@obfuscated3090 You have to outright be a scumbag to BE in that business at all. Because everyone with a brain can quickly realize it's all a way to extort money from everyone, especially the poor. If you do a crime that is not a major felony, there is no reason to force someone to pay bail money to get out until the trial.
@@obfuscated3090 The people that want to go into the bonds extortion business know this. To me, bails bonds men are as greasy and scumbaggy as the worst tow truck driver.
21:45 Exactly. She basically said "I'm going to make sure you don't get bail for this, have fun getting raped". Wtf is wrong with people. The idea that rape is an accepted part of serving your time (or in this case being locked up while innocent until proven guilty) is so awful to me and shows how corrupting it is to be a part of this system. P.S. paying your taxes doesn't make you a hero. Also, after 40 years of austerity I doubt people in government are just casting their eyes around looking to add more costs to public services. The reason people want to end private bail and are willing to accept an extra cost (minus the cost of all the people who sit in Riker's cuz they can't get bail) is because this system is wrong. Somehow it seems natural that a publicly funded criminal justice system would be willing to fund its operation and management without outsourcing its basic functions to for-profit companies just to potentially save some money.
@@seressor And if you don't have the money or collateral to put up then sit in jail for a year! Simple simon! This one dude's case where it was a paperwork problem and may be cleared up easily doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. If they set bail and it's going to trial and you can't make bail, you sit in jail, while officially innocent. That alone puts severe pressure on people to plead gulty just to get out. The private bail providers versus cash bail are two separate, yes, but intertwined issues.
@@seressor very simple winning your case correlates more with financial wealth than it does with innocence. Also if innocent until proven guilty it’s unlawful to hold people and even if it wasn’t you can’t do it based on wealth either for some crimes everyone stays in till sentencing or everyone gets to go. Very simple to understand how this purposely targets the poor not the guilty if anything it can create the guilty out of the poor and free the guilty because they are rich. It’s even a criminal system more of a war on the poor
If you have an adress in Germany they just set you free again and write you a letter when to appear at court. Even when you are sentenced they set you free again and write you a letter when to and where to appear at prison. Putting people in jail is not common. Sure, a suspected murderer is put in jail or people running a system/scheme they could dissolve...
And it's literally illegal according to the 8th amendment to charge someone more then they can afford in bail. They break the 8th and 10th in a single blow. Disgusting.
Wow, that boy refusing a plea and being innocent and yet still serving 3 years; his life was stolen even before suicide. And he may have committed the act of taking his life but in my opinion he was murdered by a corrupt system that is the American juridical system. RIP Kalief Browder.
In 2009, Browder was charged with third-degree grand larceny. Police testified that he had crashed a stolen bakery truck into a stationary car while joyriding. At the age of 16, he was charged as an adult, which conformed to state law at the time. He pleaded guilty but later said he was only a bystander. Browder was registered as a youthful offender and placed on probation.

I've had to deal with a bail agent before. They kept coming to my home looking for this chick who used live there. I tried and tried to explain the two guys and even went to the company explaining she doesn't live there. I bought the house. It's mine. The only female who lives there was my 3 year old daughter at the time. She's six now. I got tired of it. So I was coming home seeing there vehicles there again. I got out of my car. Took a video. Sent it to the owner. Said good luck in court. They paid for my house twice over and hes no longer in business.
my bail bondsman was very nice (10% of $1500 is only $150,like whatever), he was prompt and helpful, friendly and comforting, told Mom how pretty I am... what struck me in court was that half the people were in jail. literally ALL of *those* people were black. ALL the Hispanic and the white people (just me and one other guy... makes me think minorities might be getting TARGETED or something) were able to tap into our family networks and come up with at least 10% of whatever the bond was set at. I spent 2 hours in a pretend jail, where they didn't make us change our shoes or clothes or anything, it was a quick processing thing, just paperwork. makes me feel like we were on a different planet from the poor people, who came in SHACKLED. very sad.
“A circle of love” and then she proceeds to swear like a sea witch at the guy, telling him he doesn’t care for his family and other BS. What total creeps these bail bonds people are. It should be outlawed.

Why would any sane or rational person say "I hope you drop the soap in prison" with the intent and tone that she had? Ladies and gentlemen she does doesn't "love" anyone that she sentences to jail time. She's trying to see how far she can project her own problems and personality onto other people to see how they react. I actually find her to impulsive.
Got arrested, bailed out, hired a lawyer, plead down on time, and did my week in jail. From my misdemeanor arrest to my court date, it took 1.5 years. While in there, I met dudes who have been in jail for weeks or months on misdemeanors, where they had already served the max penalty, because they couldn't pay their bail or they couldn't get in contact with someone to sign for them. The bail system makes absolutely zero sense and only serves to make poor people poorer or to unfairly punish them because they have no other option. At the very least, DAs and judges should agree to release people who have already served the max sentencing guidelines on misdemeanors before they go to court. It makes no sense for someone to get a first time failure to appear or possession, sit in jail for months because they can't make bail, and then get time served for the week or month they actually needed to serve.
It makes no sense to commit crimes, and then complain bail is unfair, or jail sucks. It is likely "unfair" and certainly sucks...you'd think people would do their best to avoid it!
@@strangevisions5162 it would save tax dollars and reduce the amount we spend on inmates BEFORE they are even sentenced. People will serve their "time" well before they see a court date. All that extra time between the max sentencing for an alleged offense, the most someone can serve, and the court date is just taxing the State/City more than needed. Unless they're making money off people's imprisonment 🤔🤔🤔
FonchCakes I think they have a valid and legit business, its not them who make the laws. without them think about how many more people would be in jail...

22:00 What a monster. She's the CEO? Listening to that wench berate a guy that has NOT been convicted of a crime was painful. Missing an appointment with a bail bonds office doesn't mean you automatically are a criminal and don't deserve basic human respect. And at 21:40 she referenced some 'circle of love' BS. Of course, some people in America will never understand this problem with bail bonds. Never mind that the rest of Western Civilization has figured it out and nearly all of the other countries have better crime statistics than we do in America. It is indeed about the money... the money lining the pockets of this immoral industry based on an immoral practice of placing an actual price tag on your freedom. NOBODY should be locked up before they are convicted without some pre-trial system evaluating whether or not they are a risk. Innocent until proven guilty. 'Poor' does not equal 'unworthy of freedom.' Between the bail bonds industry and civil asset forfeiture, nobody in America can claim our system is not corrupt nor can they claim it is NOT specifically targeting poor people.
It doesn't excuse her absence of human decency and professionalism. Calling him names and cussing him out is simply not called for and doesn't accomplish anything productive whatsoever. Did he screw up? Yes. Is he a convict? NO. He still deserves respect until such time as he is convicted and even then he still has rights. Wishing sodomy on someone, with her "I hope you bend over for the soap" comment, is simply disgusting and shows how poorly this woman conducts herself. Wishing harm upon someone is just immoral. He said he didn't show up because he went to court and they had changed the courtroom. She just dismissed that and wanted to hear herself condemn the man for his error, a behavior consistent with someone in love with their position of power over someone else. Not everybody can easily navigate the screwed up bureaucratic mess that is our 'justice' system. If you have ever been in trouble with the law you would know the complex mess that suddenly consumes your life. A lot of people cannot handle it well or keep it all organized. Having a drug problem doesn't make him worthless. And missing her little meeting to clear up a warrant when he said he DID go to court instead doesn't make him worthy of getting harmed in prison or having his bail revoked. She asked him "why did you get arrested" as if being arrested means you are automatically guilty of a crime and thus makes him NOT a good citizen. That is ass-backwards especially given that drug enforcement laws necessarily result in the arrest of people that may not have done any harm to anyone but themselves. In any case, until he is convicted, he is presumed innocent. But she has completely reversed that ideal to support her presuppositions about him based on a procedural error. Her god-complex has gotten out of control and she seems to enjoy yelling like a lunatic because she feels so powerful.
She seems like a bitch and I’m not defending her actions, however, what type of attitude do you expect in that business? You want her to sit them down to eat tea and crumpets? She’s a typical New Yorker, that’s just how they operate up there.
I had 5000 bail, sat in jail for few days until they lowered it and I bailed myself out. I then proceeded to go to court for a year and eventually beat the charge. "Innocent until proven guilty" Why am I being kidnapped and held against my will then?
Circle of love.. that woman is single handedly the worst thing for bail bondsmen that’s happened yet. During this episode she lost all credibility for her practice
Putting " innocent until proven guilty" people in jail for non violent crimes should be outlawed anyway. You don't lock someone up and punish them for something you haven't proven they've done yet. It can and does ruin the lives of countless innocent people far too often.
I agree to an extent but even nonviolent offenders do need to be off the street sometimes. We need a better system but I'm not sure the best way to do it.
It’s not the bail bondsman I have a problem with it is judges who set the amount of bail. Another factor is two people who commit the same crime and the bail amount is set to different terms, I have watch judges lower bails to someone they favor over another who they don’t like. Yet I thought judges are not to be bias. You make 90,000 a year your bail set for 5,000 and you make 30,000 a year your bail set for 100,000 thousand. Meanwhile poor pay more for the same crime as an upper middle class pay less. How is a poor person who can barely afford a flight ticket out of this country with a passport, more of a flight risk??? Meanwhile you work for the mayor office? Don’t drink and drive again. Here a slap on your wrist, I’m sure you got 300 dollars in your pocket to pay 5,000 dollar bail. Car title on the line, sign here and just come up with rest of the ten percent. Make sure you go to court.
always found the american justice sytem weird, it really makes no sense how you can get stuck in jail even if you are later found innocent in court just because you couldnt pay your boond, that really doesnt sound like the land of freedom to me. Where i live they can only put you into Jail untill your court date for 4 Reasons. 1. you tried to flee 2. there is a flight risk 3. a risk of you destroying or supressing evidence 4. a risk of you commiting further serious offenses while out on the street. The bar for those risks is set really high so usually only people who commited serious crimes have to stay in jail until court. Everyone else gets a letter of when to apear for your court date, if you dont apear then you get an arrest warrant.
Money corrupts everything it touches. Also it seems a bit hypocritical to me for bail woman to say how they aren't the bad guys, and they're all fair, and yet call one of her clients a wortless dirtbag who deserves jail on a non violent drug charge because he's poor.
+MrAnimeopera "We're involved with that human behavior, with a circle of love." ..."I'm gunna make sure the judge doesn't set bail on your risky ass. I hope you bend over for the soap when you get in there." ...
+MrAnimeopera that woman is gross. She lied so people wouldn't think bad of her for making money of this fucked up system and she treats the people that feed her like scumbags. If I had to pay a bail and couldn't afford it I would try to look for a bondsman like the first guy, that is from the community and treats them well. That woman is just a despicable human being.
I love how the CEO of Empire Bail Bond's best defense was that she paid taxes. Like that just makes you ok, not good. You aren't a saint for doing everything every one else does.

I live in Mansfield ohio. I got pulled over in 2009 and had a syringe in my car. I was a heroin addict at the time and it was mine. I went to jail and was let out on my signature. I moved back here in 2020 and had a friend who got pulled over for the same thing. I told his mom not to worry he'd be out in the morning. Come to find out times had surely changed. His bond was $10,000. He had to pay a bondsman $1000 to get out for drug paraphernalia. I was disgusted. His family is poor so he sat in jail for 2 months until he got probation and got out. During that 2 month he lost his job and got behind on child support so six months later he was back in jail for failure to pay child support. Thank you Mansfield ohio!

Thomas Dietz - WPM1C it’s easier to respond after hindsight ,to be a productive member of society the opportunities must be available,Also from the age of 7 through to the teenage years are the character shaping stage ,basically you become what your environment impresses upon you .yes we have the innate ability to know right from wrong but when you see your elders being oppressed ,you automatically do not want the same ,it is natural that one is filled with anger .same machine that has indoctrinated a generation needs to invest to undo this anger and low self esteem we have .
Thomas Dietz - WPM1C I agree but that also can be counter productive in the sense that you can be to extreme when doing what you see is a good parent in the times we are in .perefect example is my partner who grew up in a village and achieved all the best grades at school ,horse riding and by the age of 16 she had walked up every mountain in England and by 17 she would set off on adventures in the rural areas with a map and her dog who to her was her best companion.These escapades at a young was not for fun but to free her self from the perfect upbringing her parents and society .Both her parents where ex army and gave her the best upbringing in the form of education and security but they lacked empathy love and how to form social relationships .instead to them success meant a house a good job and money ,but we are not in those times and opportunities are not in abundance like then .As my partner got older she felt she had not seen life outside the perfect world and long story short got herself in a lot of problems when she moved to the city due to her naivety and good nature.Basically in life everything is balance.good bad .light and dark etc.These times effect every body and yes their are opportunities to do good .

Apparently you have a problem with context. So I'll spell it out for you as I would for a child. The original comment was a joke on the bravery of paying taxes. The last public income tax return of Trump (2016) he only paid $750 despite at the time being on the Forbes 500 list of richest people in America. So yes I have a problem when a "billionaire" pays less in yearly taxes than I do in a month! And I don't care if that person is Bezos, Musk, Gates, or Trump they should all pay their fair share or at least more than a person making less than 50k a year!!! And I could even give Trump a pass on before he was president and was merely a citizen abusing the system to avoid paying taxes but once he was president he only not didn't close those loopholes he made them much bigger to allow for the rich to avoid paying even those meager sums.

You do realize 95% of people have no subscribers or content. Don't get mad because you know I am right. A bail bondsman is going to advertise where people get arrested. That is only common sense.
Like the black gentleman said, all they are doing is perpetuating the demoralization of a community. Opportunities know that when a rat is down and out, they will run and lineup to kick him.
Listening to the bail bondsman defend herself, reminded me of a time i was working in a bank, and I asked this lady that did payday loans, without any judgement but purely out of curiosity, if they genuinely gave out loans at such steep rates- and this lady completely blew up on me. it's sad what lengths people will go to justify themselves
I got a flier in the mail one time and it said I could get a loan up to 10,000 no questions asked in huge letters. I started reading the really fine print and noticed something that seemed rather odd to me. The interest rate was 375%. I even broke out the magnifying glass to be sure I wasn't seeing a decimal point anywhere. At that interest rate paying just the minimum amount they say you can pay each week would end up costing you well over 60,000 over the life of the loan.
that’s hilarious. You worked for one of the most crooked businesses in this country and you’re asking a payday loan business about their rates. NSF fees are disgusting. Billion dollar business. What’s the interest rate on a 30 dollar NSF fee on a bounced 10 dollar pizza hut check. What a hypocrite you are.

@@salvyballacc because most of the time they don't make them put anything up as collateral since most of the time these people don't even have anything to put up. So they end up losing that 90%.

All the bail bonds people we worked with were always willing to help my parents out like that but steal from them which is what is basically happening when the client runs then yes they turn into complete a-holes.

Let's remember where bail bonds men originated from, they where originally people who hunted run away slaves and would bring them back to thier owner or kill them if the owner wanted
That is not entirely true. I was a bail bondsman for about 10 years, and I can tell you that it started in Europe and England in order to help ensure defendants would return to court for trial and to also bring in another source of income for the crown and local governments. Yes "bounty hunters" were used to capture and return escaped slaves, but those men were not in the same profession, technically, as a licensed bail bondsman. Do your due diligence before spouting nonsense like that, especially when you're trying to paint an entire profession as slave hunting racists.
....half a million bail bond for turning yourself in...that just gives a horribly wrong message to those who want be truthful and own up to there mistakes.
The police and law enforcement are not there to protect you or help you. They are there to punish and to protect property. 500k and half a year in jail just to await trail for damaging a $300 piece of glass. Who are the police there to protect?
@@jtaylor3609 Police protect citizens. That's why there's no crime. Oh, wait. There is crime. And cops extort money to protect repeat criminals, to keep you from killing them, so after someone steals your $100 TV, cops can steal $60,000 a year from you to jail them.

It makes no sense, to set bail to have the, justice? To walk down the street and sleep in your own bed. How does that make any sense? The cancellation, of bail, would be justice.
kgbme you can't hold someone because they are unable to pay, but someone that commits, the same crime, gets to go home, cause he's or she is better off, financially. That's unconstitutional mate... And not how its suppose to work, bail works where I live cause if I don't post bail, the longest I wait is a weekend, before I see a judge. Other states and counties, could be months or years. The courts can make a evaluation and determine how you are granted freedom, until your court date if their worried about people running, ever heard of house arrest?

I've spent 6 months in jail for driving without a license and then plead guilty just to get out because I was in a different state. I've had my license my hole life just didn't have it on me the day I got pulled over. Never been charged before. It's a fucking misdemeanor first off but they held me on property bond because I was a flight risk not being a resident of that state. When I went to court charges were supposed to be dropped but they had a copy of my Maine license not my NY one and it kept coming up no good. So I had a choice, spend 6 MORE months in jail waiting to go to court or plead guilty and get out. I plead guilty. That's how this system works and when I tell someone who's never been through it they don't believe me. I lost 6 months of my "freedom" for a fine! Have a driving without a license charge on my record forever and I've had my license since I was 16 years old! Never even one damn speeding ticket! In a way I'm glad it happened to me, I was living the "American dream" before that, now I'm wide awake!

In Latvia you dont need to carry with you driving license. You just need some kind of ID so that police can check your data when they stop you. Before that it was like 5 USD fine if you dont carry with you driverse license.
I totally agree with doing away with all bail in every state. It should be based on threat assessment as to if you get out of jail or not. I was arrested for my first time and given a $50,000 bond for a first offence. I couldn't even afford the 10% for the bond company, so I stayed in jail, lost my job and after 9 months, they dropped the charges. TOTAL B.S.
> It should be based on threat assessment as to if you get out of jail or not. It is, if you're assessed to be a threat, you will not be allowed out on bail.
@@ChrisStavros Yes, but you still need to pay, which makes no sense if you haven't been sentenced. In fact, if we follow this twisted logic you should be paying to be in jail since jail is housing you, giving you food etc. Not get out since that's pretty much free.
I know it's hard to give up your freedom, but if no one bailout the retaining centers would get overwhelmed that they would have to release you without bail.

Or be born at the right time,

Even though he’s gotten a lot of flack, Dennis Rodman impacted the world, by going to a closed country. It may have been minor, but no one else did what he did.
Sadly, scumbags like Steve Jobs greatly slowed down the process of human society. Forcing so much $ to be wasted unnecessarily for private gain. Most of the great minds in computing & programming, saw it as a great equalizer.
Hopefully there is someone out there, wealthy and powerful enough, to see how greatly society could benefit from making devices, cheaper, more accessible. So more ideas can get out there. ( Bill Gates has done an incredible amount of work globally.)
If a business, decides to design smart phones, laptops, computers, to be cheaper, easily upgradable, that would be a huge business. Which ‘could’ lead to better solutions, options being found, supported & taken more seriously.

I was issued a citation to appear in court because the police said I fled from an area of crime I was never visiting/loitering. I went to court they offered a plea of guilty for 8 days. I pleaded not guilty. I sat and sat in jail for at least a month. I had my own place to live and gainfully employed in Seattle. Caught the ferry from kidnap/kitsap county to king. I was so tired of rotting in jail not hearing in anything. I had bills to pay, wearing on my mind, I kept to myself because I had nothing in common with the inmates. Even the guards knew this is not a violent person so they moved to a more relaxed pod. I saw people in there for murder and violent offenses and two weeks later they were sentenced. Me nothing felt abandoned. I called my public defender and said I want to plea guilty. From that phone call two days later I was out, Nothing I could do. I got home looked at my ferry ticket, my work schedule and my paperwork incident pissed off and crying because it was proof I wasn’t even there. Can’t flee from a crime when I’m in different city at work. If the cops came over and they want me for a crime then here’s a proof of perjury. 48 years old today and still my only charge.

P.S. paying your taxes doesn't make you a hero. Also, after 40 years of austerity I doubt people in government are just casting their eyes around looking to add more costs to public services. The reason people want to end private bail and are willing to accept an extra cost (minus the cost of all the people who sit in Riker's cuz they can't get bail) is because this system is wrong. Somehow it seems natural that a publicly funded criminal justice system would be willing to fund its operation and management without outsourcing its basic functions to for-profit companies just to potentially save some money.

I tried and tried to explain the two guys and even went to the company explaining she doesn't live there. I bought the house. It's mine. The only female who lives there was my 3 year old daughter at the time. She's six now. I got tired of it. So I was coming home seeing there vehicles there again. I got out of my car. Took a video. Sent it to the owner. Said good luck in court. They paid for my house twice over and hes no longer in business.
Is what they do illegal?
my bail bondsman was very nice (10% of $1500 is only $150,like whatever), he was prompt and helpful, friendly and comforting, told Mom how pretty I am... what struck me in court was that half the people were in jail. literally ALL of *those* people were black. ALL the Hispanic and the white people (just me and one other guy... makes me think minorities might be getting TARGETED or something) were able to tap into our family networks and come up with at least 10% of whatever the bond was set at.
I spent 2 hours in a pretend jail, where they didn't make us change our shoes or clothes or anything, it was a quick processing thing, just paperwork. makes me feel like we were on a different planet from the poor people, who came in SHACKLED. very sad.
so you sued them for money and you used it, cool

“A circle of love” and then she proceeds to swear like a sea witch at the guy, telling him he doesn’t care for his family and other BS. What total creeps these bail bonds people are. It should be outlawed.

That's exactly what i was thinking when she said"I hope you drop the soap" than yelling at him like she's his mom. She really needs to chill with that
@@chrissy3684 It's not just that she needs to chill, her business needs to go down. What she is doing is manipulation(she knows it) she doesn't care about the inmates well being. I get it, they are convicts, however not all of them are violent convicts, so what would be her excuse for talking to them in that way? Why would any sane or rational person say "I hope you drop the soap in prison" with the intent and tone that she had? Ladies and gentlemen she does doesn't "love" anyone that she sentences to jail time. She's trying to see how far she can project her own problems and personality onto other people to see how they react. I actually find her to impulsive.
"I bleed Baltimore" is a reference to the bonding agency bleeding the people's money from them.

Got arrested, bailed out, hired a lawyer, plead down on time, and did my week in jail. From my misdemeanor arrest to my court date, it took 1.5 years. While in there, I met dudes who have been in jail for weeks or months on misdemeanors, where they had already served the max penalty, because they couldn't pay their bail or they couldn't get in contact with someone to sign for them. The bail system makes absolutely zero sense and only serves to make poor people poorer or to unfairly punish them because they have no other option. At the very least, DAs and judges should agree to release people who have already served the max sentencing guidelines on misdemeanors before they go to court. It makes no sense for someone to get a first time failure to appear or possession, sit in jail for months because they can't make bail, and then get time served for the week or month they actually needed to serve.
It makes no sense to commit crimes, and then complain bail is unfair, or jail sucks.
It is likely "unfair" and certainly sucks...you'd think people would do their best to avoid it!

Missing an appointment with a bail bonds office doesn't mean you automatically are a criminal and don't deserve basic human respect. And at 21:40 she referenced some 'circle of love' BS.
Of course, some people in America will never understand this problem with bail bonds. Never mind that the rest of Western Civilization has figured it out and nearly all of the other countries have better crime statistics than we do in America. It is indeed about the money... the money lining the pockets of this immoral industry based on an immoral practice of placing an actual price tag on your freedom. NOBODY should be locked up before they are convicted without some pre-trial system evaluating whether or not they are a risk. Innocent until proven guilty. 'Poor' does not equal 'unworthy of freedom.'
Between the bail bonds industry and civil asset forfeiture, nobody in America can claim our system is not corrupt nor can they claim it is NOT specifically targeting poor people.
you do realize that douches family paid 15 k for bail, and he fails to show? I would be pissed off.
putting a lot of finances aside for this douche and doesnt do what the bail requirements said that he has to do. Thats some fuckery.
It doesn't excuse her absence of human decency and professionalism. Calling him names and cussing him out is simply not called for and doesn't accomplish anything productive whatsoever. Did he screw up? Yes. Is he a convict? NO. He still deserves respect until such time as he is convicted and even then he still has rights.
Wishing sodomy on someone, with her "I hope you bend over for the soap" comment, is simply disgusting and shows how poorly this woman conducts herself. Wishing harm upon someone is just immoral. He said he didn't show up because he went to court and they had changed the courtroom. She just dismissed that and wanted to hear herself condemn the man for his error, a behavior consistent with someone in love with their position of power over someone else.
Not everybody can easily navigate the screwed up bureaucratic mess that is our 'justice' system. If you have ever been in trouble with the law you would know the complex mess that suddenly consumes your life. A lot of people cannot handle it well or keep it all organized.
Having a drug problem doesn't make him worthless. And missing her little meeting to clear up a warrant when he said he DID go to court instead doesn't make him worthy of getting harmed in prison or having his bail revoked.
She asked him "why did you get arrested" as if being arrested means you are automatically guilty of a crime and thus makes him NOT a good citizen. That is ass-backwards especially given that drug enforcement laws necessarily result in the arrest of people that may not have done any harm to anyone but themselves. In any case, until he is convicted, he is presumed innocent. But she has completely reversed that ideal to support her presuppositions about him based on a procedural error. Her god-complex has gotten out of control and she seems to enjoy yelling like a lunatic because she feels so powerful.
Right on Em
She seems like a bitch and I’m not defending her actions, however, what type of attitude do you expect in that business? You want her to sit them down to eat tea and crumpets? She’s a typical New Yorker, that’s just how they operate up there.
I had 5000 bail, sat in jail for few days until they lowered it and I bailed myself out. I then proceeded to go to court for a year and eventually beat the charge.

Putting " innocent until proven guilty" people in jail for non violent crimes should be outlawed anyway. You don't lock someone up and punish them for something you haven't proven they've done yet. It can and does ruin the lives of countless innocent people far too often.
I agree to an extent but even nonviolent offenders do need to be off the street sometimes. We need a better system but I'm not sure the best way to do it.
It’s not the bail bondsman I have a problem with it is judges who set the amount of bail. Another factor is two people who commit the same crime and the bail amount is set to different terms, I have watch judges lower bails to someone they favor over another who they don’t like. Yet I thought judges are not to be bias. You make 90,000 a year your bail set for 5,000 and you make 30,000 a year your bail set for 100,000 thousand. Meanwhile poor pay more for the same crime as an upper middle class pay less. How is a poor person who can barely afford a flight ticket out of this country with a passport, more of a flight risk??? Meanwhile you work for the mayor office? Don’t drink and drive again. Here a slap on your wrist, I’m sure you got 300 dollars in your pocket to pay 5,000 dollar bail. Car title on the line, sign here and just come up with rest of the ten percent. Make sure you go to court.
always found the american justice sytem weird, it really makes no sense how you can get stuck in jail even if you are later found innocent in court just because you couldnt pay your boond, that really doesnt sound like the land of freedom to me.
Where i live they can only put you into Jail untill your court date for 4 Reasons. 1. you tried to flee 2. there is a flight risk 3. a risk of you destroying or supressing evidence 4. a risk of you commiting further serious offenses while out on the street.
The bar for those risks is set really high so usually only people who commited serious crimes have to stay in jail until court.
Everyone else gets a letter of when to apear for your court date, if you dont apear then you get an arrest warrant.
Money corrupts everything it touches. Also it seems a bit hypocritical to me for bail woman to say how they aren't the bad guys, and they're all fair, and yet call one of her clients a wortless dirtbag who deserves jail on a non violent drug charge because he's poor.

Everything you stated reduces the probability of you getting arrested. But doesn't guarantee it. The point of this video is "Why are we locking up people that haven't been convicted of any crimes?" The system we have now is garbage. It needs to be thrown out and replaced with something more efficient.

I live in Mansfield ohio. I got pulled over in 2009 and had a syringe in my car. I was a heroin addict at the time and it was mine. I went to jail and was let out on my signature. I moved back here in 2020 and had a friend who got pulled over for the same thing. I told his mom not to worry he'd be out in the morning. Come to find out times had surely changed. His bond was $10,000. He had to pay a bondsman $1000 to get out for drug paraphernalia. I was disgusted. His family is poor so he sat in jail for 2 months until he got probation and got out. During that 2 month he lost his job and got behind on child support so six months later he was back in jail for failure to pay child support. Thank you Mansfield ohio!

Thomas Dietz - WPM1C it’s easier to respond after hindsight ,to be a productive member of society the opportunities must be available,Also from the age of 7 through to the teenage years are the character shaping stage ,basically you become what your environment impresses upon you .yes we have the innate ability to know right from wrong but when you see your elders being oppressed ,you automatically do not want the same ,it is natural that one is filled with anger .same machine that has indoctrinated a generation needs to invest to undo this anger and low self esteem we have .
Thomas Dietz - WPM1C I agree but that also can be counter productive in the sense that you can be to extreme when doing what you see is a good parent in the times we are in .perefect example is my partner who grew up in a village and achieved all the best grades at school ,horse riding and by the age of 16 she had walked up every mountain in England and by 17 she would set off on adventures in the rural areas with a map and her dog who to her was her best companion.These escapades at a young was not for fun but to free her self from the perfect upbringing her parents and society .Both her parents where ex army and gave her the best upbringing in the form of education and security but they lacked empathy love and how to form social relationships .instead to them success meant a house a good job and money ,but we are not in those times and opportunities are not in abundance like then .As my partner got older she felt she had not seen life outside the perfect world and long story short got herself in a lot of problems when she moved to the city due to her naivety and good nature.Basically in life everything is balance.good bad .light and dark etc.These times effect every body and yes their are opportunities to do good .

And I don't care if that person is Bezos, Musk, Gates, or Trump they should all pay their fair share or at least more than a person making less than 50k a year!!!

I got a flier in the mail one time and it said I could get a loan up to 10,000 no questions asked in huge letters. I started reading the really fine print and noticed something that seemed rather odd to me. The interest rate was 375%. I even broke out the magnifying glass to be sure I wasn't seeing a decimal point anywhere. At that interest rate paying just the minimum amount they say you can pay each week would end up costing you well over 60,000 over the life of the loan.

@@RabelFibal1 innocent till proven guilty. Let’s say you have a full time job and pay rent. One day you are driving and get pulled over cop comes up and says license and registration please. And then thinks your acting suspicious and want to search the car. The car is searched and they find an 8ball under your seat. Of a car you just bought a few weeks ago. You are of course arrested and taken to jail. And now you are sitting in jail and now you worry about what’s gonna happen. Well if we’re in a different county you could make bail and you lose your job. Then you go to court and they find you not guilty and is set free. Well guess what no work no house.

Let's remember where bail bonds men originated from, they where originally people who hunted run away slaves and would bring them back to thier owner or kill them if the owner wanted
As did the police.
True
basically bounty hunter
That is not entirely true. I was a bail bondsman for about 10 years, and I can tell you that it started in Europe and England in order to help ensure defendants would return to court for trial and to also bring in another source of income for the crown and local governments. Yes "bounty hunters" were used to capture and return escaped slaves, but those men were not in the same profession, technically, as a licensed bail bondsman. Do your due diligence before spouting nonsense like that, especially when you're trying to paint an entire profession as slave hunting racists.
False. It predates the United States by centuries.
Never showed whole process. Do you get your money back. How it works average bail bond etc
....half a million bail bond for turning yourself in...that just gives a horribly wrong message to those who want be truthful and own up to there mistakes.
The police and law enforcement are not there to protect you or help you. They are there to punish and to protect property. 500k and half a year in jail just to await trail for damaging a $300 piece of glass. Who are the police there to protect?
@hahagotcha!!!! Spoken like a rich man.
@@jtaylor3609 Police protect citizens. That's why there's no crime. Oh, wait. There is crime. And cops extort money to protect repeat criminals, to keep you from killing them, so after someone steals your $100 TV, cops can steal $60,000 a year from you to jail them.

Toto Thedog why should you have to buy your freedom if you haven't been convicted of a crime? Do you believe that or where you just trying to correct him?
afield 2212 well obviously, I was correcting him, in what world does bail equal justice? Bail is to get your freedom back, to have the freedom to walk down the street and sleep in your own bed. It makes no sense, to set bail to have the, justice? To walk down the street and sleep in your own bed. How does that make any sense? The cancellation, of bail, would be justice.
kgbme you can't hold someone because they are unable to pay, but someone that commits, the same crime, gets to go home, cause he's or she is better off, financially. That's unconstitutional mate... And not how its suppose to work, bail works where I live cause if I don't post bail, the longest I wait is a weekend, before I see a judge. Other states and counties, could be months or years. The courts can make a evaluation and determine how you are granted freedom, until your court date if their worried about people running, ever heard of house arrest?

@@whitechapel2195 Bounty Hunters can't arrest shit. They have 0 constitutional authority to detain ANYONE. The only reason why people comply with them is due to disinformation and fear.

Jersey has done away with monetary bail. So they go off a point system now. Basically goes off your crime and how many times you missed court prior. If you missed court more than twice you prob won’t get out. If you’re a man and take care of your shit you’ll be out. Which is great.

I've spent 6 months in jail for driving without a license and then plead guilty just to get out because I was in a different state. I've had my license my hole life just didn't have it on me the day I got pulled over. Never been charged before. It's a fucking misdemeanor first off but they held me on property bond because I was a flight risk not being a resident of that state. When I went to court charges were supposed to be dropped but they had a copy of my Maine license not my NY one and it kept coming up no good. So I had a choice, spend 6 MORE months in jail waiting to go to court or plead guilty and get out. I plead guilty. That's how this system works and when I tell someone who's never been through it they don't believe me. I lost 6 months of my "freedom" for a fine! Have a driving without a license charge on my record forever and I've had my license since I was 16 years old! Never even one damn speeding ticket! In a way I'm glad it happened to me, I was living the "American dream" before that, now I'm wide awake!
Mike Hunt I don’t even know why it’s a big problem with driving without your card they have computers in there car they can look that shit up like wtf I got arrested in Sioux City Iowa for a .2 of weed MF crumbs my bond was 2500 I made bond the next day and I still had to serve time in the county jail which was bullshit they really charged me for crumbs of weed smh

@mynameis mynameis I identify as purple. Lol white
I totally agree with doing away with all bail in every state. It should be based on threat assessment as to if you get out of jail or not. I was arrested for my first time and given a $50,000 bond for a first offence. I couldn't even afford the 10% for the bond company, so I stayed in jail, lost my job and after 9 months, they dropped the charges. TOTAL B.S.
> It should be based on threat assessment as to if you get out of jail or not.
It is, if you're assessed to be a threat, you will not be allowed out on bail.
@@ChrisStavros Yes, but you still need to pay, which makes no sense if you haven't been sentenced. In fact, if we follow this twisted logic you should be paying to be in jail since jail is housing you, giving you food etc. Not get out since that's pretty much free.
I know it's hard to give up your freedom, but if no one bailout the retaining centers would get overwhelmed that they would have to release you without bail.
