Dozen cities sue to stop no cash bail in LA County

The system, which would eliminate cash bail for most people arrested for non-violent or non-serious crimes, goes into effect on Sunday, Oct. 1.

The zero-bail system, officially dubbed by the Los Angeles Superior Court as Pre-Arraignment Release Protocols, or PARP, largely eliminates the existing cash bail system for all but the most serious of crimes. Most people arrested on suspicion on non-violent or non-serious offenses will be either cited and released in the field or booked and released at a police or sheriff's station with orders to appear in court on a specific date for arraignment once they are actually charged with a crime.

People arrested in connection with serious crimes such as murder would not be eligible for zero-bail release. "It's really dangerous for us to conflate bail with accountability," Mitchell said, adding later: "Bail means I have the resources to pay my way out of jail."
