The Bail Trap 11 years ago

Exactly. Equality.

He has no claim upon her (he can't force her to have children) and she has no claim upon him.

Not really his fault. Child support is an outdated system with zero relevance today. He is the victim.

If a woman is not prepared to care for her children, she doesn't need to have any. Equality under the law means that if she can't pay, she can give up custody of her children to the father or a relative or adoption.

Just a little quibble... if 100% of the bail bond is returned to the accused, how exactly does the bail bond company make money?

If the bail bond company can't make money on the deal, they won't offer their services...

Which would end up making it harder for the relatively poor to make bail...

How about this: Just get rid of bail entirely for low level offenses. When a minor crime is expected to be charged, bring the suspect in, fingerprint and identify them, give a court date, then... let them go home.
