text: Bail isn't a constitutional right. A right to a fair and speedy trial made up of your peers is I and the right to defense for yourself is. And you miss the point. If there is evidence of wrong doing and it's a slam dunk case open and closed then what is unfair for the accused? they're guilty and there should be efforts to get these people to trial FASTER that's the point, and to have people manipulating the system to stay out on bail and avoid trial is just as unfair. Do you really believe the majority of people are wrongly accused because that's how you sound? If they are innocent then they will have the B.S. behind them quickly. And just so you understand if it is against their constitutional rights then you are imagining something which I am not implying. How many accused have another run in with the law to any degree while awaiting trial, I'm guessing more than not.
