It's already paid for by the tax payer. It's the existing police force. Literally nothing new will be provided for with bail money.

Bail money also go to the police and juridical. Remove bail mean more tax will require to cover the lost revenue from bail.

You're aware that the bail is given back if they don't run, correct?

Bail serves no purpose except to cuase poor people to lose their jobs for a crime they have not been convicted of.

So it a great incentive for people to show up, and we do not have to hide more police to chase after those.
