On the other hand some of the peeps are a real menace to their communities. Cops generally know who they are and aren’t out looking just to bust balls. And seemingly minor crimes like trespassing are often suspicion of burglary or B&E.
My thinking is we need to trust the cops and the commiting magistrates, but conduct continuous reviews and release when needed to relieve pressure. Keeps deterrence while trying to keep numbers down. Thoughts?
