The bill prohibits a court, without the consent of the district attorney, from releasing a person on any unsecured personal recognizance bond if the person is accused of committing a crime of violence and the court finds probable cause to believe that the person has committed the offense, and:
The person has a record of conviction for a crime of violence within the prior 2 years; or
There are at least 2 pending criminal charges against the person that allege that the person committed a crime of violence and the court finds probable cause to believe that the person has committed the prior alleged offenses (repeat violent offender).
Existing law requires any monetary condition of pretrial release to be reasonable. The bill states that a reasonable monetary condition for a repeat violent offender is at least $7,500.
