"50 Cent Slams L.A.'s Zero-Bail Policy: Declares City 'Finished'"

Rapper 50 Cent criticizes Los Angeles County's zero-bail policy, which was reinstated for people suspected of nonviolent misdemeanors. The policy, implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce jail overcrowding, has faced opposition from those who believe it leads to increased crime rates and failure-to-appear incidents. However, data shows that failure-to-appear and re-arrest rates remained consistent or dropped during the policy's implementation. A judge issued a preliminary injunction against the cash bail system, calling it a constitutional violation, and a permanent plan is being developed.
