Judges Need New Standards Allowing Denial of Bail for Those Who Pose an Ongoing Threat to the Community!
SJR 11 Requirements for Denial of Bail, CA (Constitutional Amendment) would allow voters to correct language from a misunderstood constitutional amendment that passed in 2020.
As it is now, our court system routinely forces judges to release individuals back into the community who have been charged with violent crimes including murder, rape, child abuse, and more. We've seen too many times that this 'catch and release' system ends in further crimes committed.
SJR 11 would allow judges to deny bail for people who are in custody when releasing them puts the public in danger. Please use the form provided to send a note to legislators asking them to let voters fix the NM Constitution and improve public safety.
