Evil and stupid. Most of us would pay the $.43 for him rather than our taxes going to his room and board for however long these jackwads decide to keep him in jail. Talk about Les Miserables!Here’s another egregious example of unreasonable bail. A man saw a sign “2 for $3” on Mountain Dew. He left $2 on the counter and told them to keep the change and left. It turns out that they wanted $2.29 if you only bought one instead of 2. So did the store just take the $.43 (if you include tax) loss? Nope. They called the cops who found and arrested the guy and are holding him on $50,000 cash bond. Since he’s homeless, he doesn’t have that money. So now he sits in jail for a $.43 misunderstanding until trial, at which, if found guilty, he could serve 7 years.
This is not a “justice“ system. It is evil.

But if you break the law you pay the price, except according to this article it sounds like they broke the law by jailing him.
