San Jose police at odds with county over new jail citation, bail policy

“We’re basically saying go ahead and come to Santa Clara County, commit a crime, don’t show up to court and by the way when I catch you, we’re going to let you go, it’s ridiculous.” -Sgt. Paul Kelly

Cindy Chavez Santa Clara County officials are releasing criminals back onto streets with this new policy! The County did not even consult with any of the police departments when issuing the new policy that would give out citations instead of arrests for any non violent crime with a bail amount under $15,000.
