Uber-bad Decisions?

California State Senator Ben Hueso may be rethinking his decision to vote against ride-sharing after being arrested on a DUI just hours after voting casting a vote which is considered against the ride-share industry.

Last Thursday night, just hours after he voted in favor of adding hefty regulations to the popular taxi-alternative services, he was picked up by the California Highway Patrol after he was seen driving the wrong way down a one way street.

Hueso was booked into the Sacramento County Jail on two counts of misdemeanor DUI.  He was released the following morning after posting $1,500 bail bonds.

Menlo Park Burglar Wanted For Grand Theft Box

It was the best of crimes, it was the worst of crimes...

Menlo Park Police say they're looking for a burglar who pulled off a rather anti climactic heist.  It all started several days ago when an unknown man broke into a local BevMo.

From there, he made a fast line to a box that (in theory) should have contained a $1,900 bottle of whiskey.  But it would seem the would-be thief was outsmarted by the store's manager, who had previously stashed the bottle in a safe,  locked area of the retail establishment.

The burglar did get away with the box, and …

If you've never been asked to help get someone out of jail before, the idea of needing to hire a bail bonds company can seem completely foreign.

San Diego Law Enforcement Holds Fundraiser For Slain Officer’s Family

A number of San Diego law enforcement agencies joined together last weekend to hold a car wash fundraiser to help raise money for a slain Escondido Police officer's family.

The officer was murdered several weeks ago by her husband in what appears to be a domestic violence incident.  Although the woman had only been with the Escondido PD for a short period of time, her supervisors said she was quickly becoming a leader among her peers.

Officer Laura leaves behind a small daughter.  Her husband, Freddy Rodas, has since been booked into an area jail where he's being held on murder …

Courts Rule In Favor Of Bail Bonds

There's been a great deal of media attention on New Jersey's battle with "bail reform", but there are a number of other battles taking place throughout the US.

Take Ohio, for example.  Just last month that state's Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional to prohibit commercial bail bonding by instead mandating defendants pay a 10 percent cash deposit directly with the court.

The ruling essentially opened the door for companies offering corporate surety bonds to do business.

A ruling in the state of Washington ended with a similar result.  Courts are no longer allowed to only accept 10% in cash; they must …
