Yep, that will work out well ...

San Francisco's new district attorney ends all cash bail for criminal cases:

https://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/San-Francisco-ends-cash-bail-for-all-criminal-14998371.php

Quote
District Attroney Chesa Boudin, who took office two weeks ago, said Wednesday prosecutors will use a “risk-based system” and weigh whether a defendant might flee or pose a threat to public safety.

Curious about how this "risk-based system" works.

Quote
“Mr. Boudin is in the process of building the largest criminal justice revolving door imaginable, and San Franciscans will pay a heavy price for it,” said Tony Montoya, president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association. “Relying solely on an arbitrary math equation regarding who remains in custody and who gets out early will endanger residents and police officers but it sure will make career criminals and gang members happy.”

Math equations are not arbitrary, but that's a minor point.   If you think San Francisco has a crime problem now, just wait.

Crap in the middle of the street, shoot up in front of a bus load of kintergarten students, assault and rob a nun? You're gold. Go forth on the promise you won't be a naughty boy again. In fact, we won't even bother picking you up for that.

Commit a rape, a murder, etc.? Well, you're still golden, but we might hold you for a few days. But, no matter how long we hold you, we still won't give you up to ICE, those fascist, Commie goat goat ropers...

They are if they involve scores based on arbitrary social points. We're talking about a system for deciding who gets released on un-bail. As a former math geek, I can't think of any way that can be reduced to a properly mathematical equation that's not derived from subjective criteria and assessments.
