[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1610947, member: 12952"] [SIZE=6][B] Baltimore imposes bail bonds of half a million dollars in legal crackdown [/B][/SIZE] Republican governor extends 24-hour detention-without-charge limit ‘to protect public safety’ while courts impose sky-high bail bonds for minor offences The tough treatment meted out to the more than 200 people arrested after unrest in the city was implemented by the governor as part of a state of emergency that also involved a 10pm to 5am curfew on Tuesday, enforced by 1,500 national guard troops. Court records show that many others arrested during the civil unrest on Saturday had been charged and given bail amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In one example a 21-year-old black woman was levied $150,000 related to five charges including reckless endangerment and throwing missiles at a vehicle. The fee was not met and she was sent to jail.
