The peace officer has to agree to release the arrested individual prior to the court appearance if the accused is not a real and substantial risk to the safety and security of the person, particularly any victims or witnesses of the offence, or if they are unlikely to repeat the offence.
I think we have evidence of the mass over-incarceration of certain categories of people, many of whom don't go on to be convicted.
It seemed to me that her evidence, with all of the analysis and empirical work behind it, shows that it does need.... I want an operational impact. That is, of course, what is intended here, so I would stand by the proposal.
