RE: App That Crowdsources Bail Lets Anyone Help Disrupt America’s Mass Incarceration
The system is out of control and geared toward generating revenue. Imagine paying a lawyer $5000 to fight a $200 fine. What would you do?
Edit: choose carefully; if you pay the fine the arrest record stands and could cost you more than $5000 in the long run. On the other hand, hiring the lawyer is no guarantee that you'll win your case.
