So….
….the bail issue is real. You make a good point about the catch & release nature of arrests right now. It's to the point now where many types of crimes are cited out in the field. It's not even worth booking them at the station jail because they'll be released before I even complete the report. No-bail warrants require us to hard book the suspect, but they still get released quickly most of the time.

You need to get out a little and stop relying solely on what you can Google.
