Rather than spending $100 a day to keep someone in jail, he said, the bill would allow more people to wait for their trial at home with their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How the Current Bail System Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When someone is arrested for a crime and booked into jail, a court usually sets a bail amount. Those amounts vary from county to county. The median amount in California is \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrw.org/report/2017/04/11/not-it-justice/how-californias-pretrial-detention-and-bail-system-unfairly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$50,000\u003c/a>. The bail is like collateral -- it's meant to make sure the defendant comes back to court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get out, one option is to give the court the full bail amount. When the case is over, you get that money back (even if you're found guilty).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"nTCUmO9JYT0hw1DLKq0bBfByfpbWqHVp\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since most people don't have thousands of dollars to plunk down, private bail companies -- which are backed by \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/report/selling-our-freedom-how-insurance-corporations-have-taken-over-our-bail-system?redirect=SellingFreedom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">large insurance firms\u003c/a> -- offer a service. You pay them a nonrefundable fee -- about 10 percent of the bail amount -- and they promise the court you’ll show up. If you don't, the bail agent is supposed to find you or else pay the court the full bail amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. and the Philippines are the only two countries with a for-profit \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/05/03/how-bail-works/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bail system\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of bail reform say the bail system is not really working the way it's supposed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They point to people like 27-year-old Gabriell Molex, a mother of two who was already homeless and living out of her car when she was arrested in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11471744\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11471744 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/File_000-4-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"Gabriell Molex, 27, spent more than a month in jail waiting for trial.

Rather than spending $100 a day to keep someone in jail, he said, the bill would allow more people to wait for their trial at home with their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How the Current Bail System Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When someone is arrested for a crime and booked into jail, a court usually sets a bail amount. Those amounts vary from county to county. The median amount in California is \u003ca href=\"https://www.hrw.org/report/2017/04/11/not-it-justice/how-californias-pretrial-detention-and-bail-system-unfairly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$50,000\u003c/a>. The bail is like collateral -- it's meant to make sure the defendant comes back to court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get out, one option is to give the court the full bail amount. When the case is over, you get that money back (even if you're found guilty).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since most people don't have thousands of dollars to plunk down, private bail companies -- which are backed by \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/report/selling-our-freedom-how-insurance-corporations-have-taken-over-our-bail-system?redirect=SellingFreedom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">large insurance firms\u003c/a> -- offer a service. You pay them a nonrefundable fee -- about 10 percent of the bail amount -- and they promise the court you’ll show up. If you don't, the bail agent is supposed to find you or else pay the court the full bail amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. and the Philippines are the only two countries with a for-profit \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/lowdown/2016/05/03/how-bail-works/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bail system\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of bail reform say the bail system is not really working the way it's supposed to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They point to people like 27-year-old Gabriell Molex, a mother of two who was already homeless and living out of her car when she was arrested in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11471744\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11471744 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/05/File_000-4-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"Gabriell Molex, 27, spent more than a month in jail waiting for trial.

Many were freed immediately, Solov said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whether we agree with the law or not, our job is to enforce it,\" Solov said. \"It's the right thing to do. If someone's in custody and they shouldn't be in custody anymore, we have an obligation to address that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego County led the state with the most number of petitions reported in the first two months after the law passed. It has reduced sentences or convictions in nearly 400 cases, Solov said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mendocino County, where pot farming is big business and violent crimes are often tied to the crop, District Attorney C. David Eyster said he fights any case not eligible for a reduction, such as applicants with a major felony in their past, a sex offense or two previous convictions for the same crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he would also fight a reduction if someone is caught cultivating weed while committing an environmental crime, such as stealing or polluting water. Otherwise — in a quirk that has some in law enforcement baffled — someone caught with two plants or 2,000 would both face a misdemeanor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is one of those areas where size doesn't matter,\" Eyster said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it came time for Schlauch's hearing this winter, he showed up an hour early at the Van Nuys courthouse. He was anxious but optimistic as he paced the hallway clutching a folder with letters praising him for doing volunteer work with veterans, working with children with disabilities at a martial arts school and earning a nursing degree long after his run-in with the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It had been more than two decades since he was sentenced to nine months in jail. He only served about a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case was so old that the court file was incomplete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A prosecutor rifling through papers wondered whether he was eligible for relief. He had 8.5 pounds of marijuana, she said. The file noted psychedelic mushrooms also were found, and she questioned whether the discovery of guns made him a threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schlauch, 58, was never charged with a gun offense. He said the registered weapons were unloaded and locked in a safe. His only conviction was for possession with intent to sell marijuana, Margolin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge flipped through the fat penal code book to review the new law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't see any reasonable risk of danger. It seems like he's entitled,\" Judge Martin Herscovitz said. \"The petition is granted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It barely took five minutes to lift a weight he had carried so long. He never had to say a thing or show he had turned his life around. He bounded from the courtroom, elated.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You would have thought they should have had seminars to get them up to speed, so we don't have to go through the process of arguing things that are obvious, but we're still getting that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has not been the case in San Diego, where prosecutors watched polls trending in favor of marijuana legalization and moved proactively to prevent chaos, said Rachel Solov, chief of the collaborative courts division of the district attorney's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They learned lessons from the 2014 passage of Proposition 47, which reduced several nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors in the county researched which convicts serving time or probation were eligible for sentence reductions and notified the public defender's office so they could quickly get into court. Many were freed immediately, Solov said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whether we agree with the law or not, our job is to enforce it,\" Solov said. \"It's the right thing to do. If someone's in custody and they shouldn't be in custody anymore, we have an obligation to address that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego County led the state with the most number of petitions reported in the first two months after the law passed. It has reduced sentences or convictions in nearly 400 cases, Solov said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Mendocino County, where pot farming is big business and violent crimes are often tied to the crop, District Attorney C. David Eyster said he fights any case not eligible for a reduction, such as applicants with a major felony in their past, a sex offense or two previous convictions for the same crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he would also fight a reduction if someone is caught cultivating weed while committing an environmental crime, such as stealing or polluting water. Otherwise — in a quirk that has some in law enforcement baffled — someone caught with two plants or 2,000 would both face a misdemeanor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is one of those areas where size doesn't matter,\" Eyster said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it came time for Schlauch's hearing this winter, he showed up an hour early at the Van Nuys courthouse. He was anxious but optimistic as he paced the hallway clutching a folder with letters praising him for doing volunteer work with veterans, working with children with disabilities at a martial arts school and earning a nursing degree long after his run-in with the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It had been more than two decades since he was sentenced to nine months in jail. He only served about a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case was so old that the court file was incomplete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A prosecutor rifling through papers wondered whether he was eligible for relief. He had 8.5 pounds of marijuana, she said. The file noted psychedelic mushrooms also were found, and she questioned whether the discovery of guns made him a threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schlauch, 58, was never charged with a gun offense. He said the registered weapons were unloaded and locked in a safe. His only conviction was for possession with intent to sell marijuana, Margolin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge flipped through the fat penal code book to review the new law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't see any reasonable risk of danger. It seems like he's entitled,\" Judge Martin Herscovitz said. \"The petition is granted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It barely took five minutes to lift a weight he had carried so long.

"content": "\u003cp>A new social network has grown quietly in recent months. It's called Gab, and its users are invited to #SpeakFreely — an appeal attractive to many members of the far right and others who feel their views are stifled by mainstream sites like Twitter and Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gab.ai was born not long before the election, a brainchild of a young CEO in a \"Make America Great Again\" hat, taking on what he calls \"the Big Social\" with a motto \"Free Speech For Everyone.\" While Facebook and Twitter are attempting to clean up offensive content and misinformation, Gab CEO Andrew Torba argues the efforts result in censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For whatever reason, we're shying away from individual liberty, individual responsibility to this nanny-state, Big-Brother-esque forum or model of the internet, which is really scary to me,\" Torba said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsBQfEZvJeY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent conversation\u003c/a> with a commentator on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Gab makes the case for people to be able to post whatever they want, as long as it's legal. That means the site's \u003ca href=\"https://gab.ai/about/guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">user guidelines\u003c/a> prohibit very few types of posts: illegal pornography, threats of violence or terrorism, confidential information of users without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after Gab launched, a \u003cem>Wired\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/09/gab-alt-rights-twitter-ultimate-filter-bubble/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article described\u003c/a> the site as \"an artifact from a dystopian universe where the alt-right completely took over Twitter.\" The alt-right has been associated with racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard Spencer, the white nationalist and a major \"alt-right\" figure, was suspended from Twitter \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/16/twitter-suspends-prominent-alt-right-accounts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in November\u003c/a> along with several other alt-right figures. \"To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do,\" Spencer said in a follow-up \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiADHzBOqZ0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube video\u003c/a>. \"There's obviously Gab, which is an interesting medium. ... I think that will be the place where we go next.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wave of news stories followed. \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/arts/the-far-right-has-a-new-digital-safe-space.html?_r=2&mtrref=undefined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described Gab\u003c/a> as \"a digital safe space for the far right.\" A \u003cem>Salon\u003c/em> reporter \u003ca href=\"http://www.salon.com/2016/11/05/inside-the-twitter-for-racists-gab-the-site-where-milo-yiannopoulos-goes-to-troll-now/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asked Torba\u003c/a> about Gab's logo — a green frog dubbed Gabby: \"I suspected it was a reference to Pepe the frog,\" the reporter wrote, referring to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/05/11/527590762/what-pepe-the-frogs-death-can-teach-us-about-the-internet\">the Internet cartoon character\u003c/a> that's been associated with the alt-right, neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Torba says the Gab frog is a religious reference, a symbol of exodus and rebirth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, in the fall, Gab was invitation-only. Thousands of people were said to be on the wait-list. \"Gab is less than a month old, so it may well flame out like \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/01/peach-is-so-hot-right-now-heres-why-the-internets-obsessed-with-it/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peach\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/05/ello-artists/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ello\u003c/a>,\" \u003cem>Wired's\u003c/em> Emma Grey Ellis wrote in that September feature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Gab.ai opened to the public.

You can follow people and repost or comment on anything anywhere. Posts are restricted to 300 characters and can be upvoted by the community. Gab has developed an Android app, but Apple has so far rejected the social network from its app store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are permanent categories like \"Cuisine\" or \"Sports\" and sort of trending ones, called \"Live Topics,\" like \"Julian Assange\" or \"Seth Rich\" (\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/05/19/529086029/sweden-drops-rape-case-against-julian-assange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">both reflecting\u003c/a> the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/17/528804792/unproved-claims-reemerge-around-dnc-staffer-s-death-here-s-what-you-should-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest news cycles\u003c/a>). Before Gab got rid of trending hashtags, #MAGA, #gabfam and #Trump were the virtually permanent mainstays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no bans on hate speech or harassment (and language does fly freely). The users have the option to \"mute\" whatever people or terms they want. In the wild, without muting or following particular people, a random scroll through categories on Gab is a roller-coaster of posts: Some benign ones (a chicken recipe, a prayer in support of President Trump, some links to music clips), then a startling one (a photo of a group of Klansmen, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/leo-frank-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leo Frank\u003c/a> lynching), then back to regular internet lore (a dog video, a \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> skit). Throughout it all, there's a tremendous amount of debate over news, with a heavy dose of conspiracy theories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even when you have a bunch of people that are anti-politically correct and, you know, 'things were better in the 50s' or whatever the case ... people you might call alt-right, there's a much bigger group of people that aren't that,\" says Ryan Donker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I originally saw him posting in the science topics on Gab and later followed him on Twitter. His online handle is @TruckDrivinRyan — he drives 18-wheelers for a living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a local driver doing port work, I have a lot of down time. Most of my day is sitting at the port waiting for a box to be taken off or put on,\" Donker says. \"It's times like that when I'll go on the internet, goof off with people, read up on interesting things, get into arguments — whatever I can do to pass the time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donker describes himself as libertarian. He says Trump is better than Hillary Clinton, but he does not always agree with the president. Donker is also openly gay. His partner is an immigrant. On Gab, he says he's faced off with a few haters — but that's what he likes about it: He says here, people are laid bare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, this social media starts as a place to be free and open and share a bunch of thoughts and ideas all willy-nilly is the way it should be,\" Donker says. \"I don't want you to feed me — I want a buffet, where I can pick what I want.

That means the site's \u003ca href=\"https://gab.ai/about/guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">user guidelines\u003c/a> prohibit very few types of posts: illegal pornography, threats of violence or terrorism, confidential information of users without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after Gab launched, a \u003cem>Wired\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/09/gab-alt-rights-twitter-ultimate-filter-bubble/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article described\u003c/a> the site as \"an artifact from a dystopian universe where the alt-right completely took over Twitter.\" The alt-right has been associated with racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gab has developed an Android app, but Apple has so far rejected the social network from its app store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are permanent categories like \"Cuisine\" or \"Sports\" and sort of trending ones, called \"Live Topics,\" like \"Julian Assange\" or \"Seth Rich\" (\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/05/19/529086029/sweden-drops-rape-case-against-julian-assange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">both reflecting\u003c/a> the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/17/528804792/unproved-claims-reemerge-around-dnc-staffer-s-death-here-s-what-you-should-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest news cycles\u003c/a>). Before Gab got rid of trending hashtags, #MAGA, #gabfam and #Trump were the virtually permanent mainstays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no bans on hate speech or harassment (and language does fly freely). The users have the option to \"mute\" whatever people or terms they want. In the wild, without muting or following particular people, a random scroll through categories on Gab is a roller-coaster of posts: Some benign ones (a chicken recipe, a prayer in support of President Trump, some links to music clips), then a startling one (a photo of a group of Klansmen, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/leo-frank-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leo Frank\u003c/a> lynching), then back to regular internet lore (a dog video, a \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> skit).

He says Trump is better than Hillary Clinton, but he does not always agree with the president. Donker is also openly gay. His partner is an immigrant.
