Bail hearing procedures allow for hearsay evidence. That allows, most commonly, a place for one police officer to provide hearsay evidence while giving testimony at that bail hearing. Some of the language in the bill obviously proves the fact that all of those pieces could obviously require the prosecutor to call each and every individual officer to prove each and every individual fact. That obviously would cause strain on policing resources, requiring more police witnesses, more documentation, certified documentation, affidavits, and the like. Obviously the police would be supporting the prosecutor for that bail hearing.
