@Maxsmom :
In most places that bond is low but for Harris County looks different.

@Maxsmom : " He was booked into the Harris County Jail with a total bond set at $115,000." This is what the article said. Maybe I missed something. That said....you are right. Soooooo many getting an absurdly low bond. No deterant whatsoever.

@Maxsmom @AtascocitaDotCom
Yes, this is a great thing to see.
Great job by our boys in blue for getting him behind bars.
Is this the guy you want on the road with your wife, mother, children, etc. we're coming through the neighborhood while you're at the playground with your family. Good riddance.

@Man1 : No I wouldn't want him out on the road with the rest of us. So glad they got him.

No deterant whatsoever.

@TortieMama : Bonds can't be punishment. You're innocent until proven guilty in court. To say a bond is a "deterrent" for future crime is a violation of the Constitution.

Imagine someone placed on a $10,000 bond and is found not guilty 2 years later.

Punishment comes later, or Innocents get caught up. It sucks from time to time.
