Are the choices of the accused before their trial. We are only discussing; low level flight risk, for non-serious crime; victimless crimes only, that are eligible for bail. The government wants a guarantee that the person will show up at their trial, this is reasonable, but there is going to be a delay between when someone is accused and the trial. This is unavoidable. Everyone should agree with this, no-fault of anyone. We recommend, an alternative solution; because these people are supposed to be considered innocent, until proven guilty, Aren’t they. So throwing them in jail, if they can’t make bail, is wrong, if they can’t afford it. This group of people should be given home detention, with electronic tagging, RFID or a GPS tracking device, to let them go free, until they are convicted. This technology is in use today for prisoners, either in or out of prison, that have been proven guilty. So why not let the accused, that haven’t been convicted use the same technology, before their trial. There should be a difference between being punished by being in jail, and waiting in jail for a trial to determine if they need to go to jail.
