How prop 25 good overhaul californias mail system. Good evening. First our top story, devin fehely with the argument for and against prop 25. And the Current System of to be barcus to be exact same crime, and one can afford bail in the other cant, the person who can afford bail will languish in jail for weeks and possibly for months. Intellect people that just does not sound or feel fair. But opponents of prop 25 say we could replace that system with something that is even worse and far less there. Prop 25 would completely eliminate californias bail industry. No longer with someone accused of a crime have to pay money to get out of jail while they await trial. And opponents say it is a change that is long overdue. How are they going to find five, 10, 15,000 to bail someone out . That is part of the problem. Right now people are sitting in county jail because they cannot bail out. Reporter the passes of the county would have to create a Pretrial Services division. The job would be to assess two things. First, the risk of failure to appear. Basically, what is the likelihood that someone is going to show up for their court date . And second, what is the risk to Public Safety if they are released . That assessment will help prosecutors, the judge and Defense Attorneys figure out if someone should be released. Money would no longer be a factor. The current cash bell system is exploitative, it is predatory, essentially takes tons of money from low income families, largely families of color across california on a daily basis. It ends our right to put a bail. It says that prop 25 is well intentioned but deeply flawed. And may lead to even greater inequities in the criminal justice system. They say the risk assessments that is the centerpiece of prop 25 is going to be performed by a computer. The program that depending on how it is designed and the factors it looks that may end up being biased and is going to tory in its own right. To assume the judge will say g, the algorithm says this is a flight risk but im going to let this person out because he seems agonizing man, that is not going to happen. The algorithm will determine peoples lives, unlike the judge, right now, unlike a prosecutor, there is no way to write against the algorithm. Reporter supporters say the Software Programs commonly used to assess risk are in perfect. And will need to be monitored and fixed if they are not auctioning as intended. The greater injustices they say is people being stuck in jail, because they cannot afford bail. I see prop 25 as an opportunity to remove the bail industry off the board. If you leave them place, you leave people and in bondage, to the criminal justice system. Supporters prop 25 say they expect to reduce the number the number of people in jail across the state. The no campaigns has been funded by the bail bond industry says there is a principal at play. The people have a right to bail. And this attempt at reform will leave more, not fewer come people locked up. They dont like the idea that somebody cannot post a bail and stay in jail come that is a back door that why crete a front door and allow the state to incarcerate people who are presumed innocent . Two years ago come the past a reform and then governor signed it, but before it became law, opponents gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot, that is how got prop 25. A yes vote would eliminate californias bail bond industry, a no vote keeps the Current System. In san jose, devin fehely, kpix5. A strange story out of Valley County today, a fire inside an official ballot box. Dozens of ballots now damaged. Last night authorities discovered smoke coming out of the box, in baldwin park.

Compared to this four years ago. Nearly 10 times the number of ballots have been returned at this stage, compared to 2016. So again between early returns, registration numbers second to decline, all indicators are pointing to a very strong turnout this november. You mentioned the official dropbox boxes. What is happening with the unofficial ones . Well, the problematic unofficial unauthorized drop boxes that last week seem to have been taken down. So that is good news. We want to continue to remind voters of the multiple options they have to return their vote by mail ballot come you know, by mail, that the u. S. Postal services, or to any official dropbox in their county, up to and including election day. Or drop it off in person. If a voter chooses or decides they need assistance in returning their ballots, the voter has the power to decide who they trust to help them in returning their ballots.

Reporter the older tests are more sensitive, and can detect smaller amounts of covid 19 virus in the body it turns out that may not be as effective when it comes to controlling the outbreak.
