United States President Donald Trump claimed on Monday that crime rate started to climb in American cities ever since the introduction of "cashless bail," and called for an immediate end to this system.
"The WORST criminals are flooding our streets and endangering even our great law enforcement officers. It is a complete disaster, and must be ended, IMMEDIATELY," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Cashless bail, also known as non-monetary bail, is a system that allows defendants to be released without having to pay a monetary bail. The defendants can be released based on their own recognizance, or a promise to appear in court, or they can be made to pay in case they do not show.
