Just wondering if anyone can justify the cost to the taxpayers for all of the incarcerations and court appearances? And the time police could have spent solving real crimes….Forgive me for not understanding how this punishment benefits anyone? Literally making tax payers responsible for paying for these crimes. What about 100 hours of community service???

So a person doesn’t show up for court 3 times. They get out on bond, pending their next court appearance. If they didn’t come the first 3x….
None of this makes logical sense.
