On October 1st, 2023, the Los Angeles County Superior Court instituted a new "policy" that eliminates the existing cash bail system for all but the most serious of crimes in the county. The zero-bail will apply to misdemeanors and specific non-violent felonies. The Los Angeles Superior Court officially dubbed this policy as Pre-Arraignment Release Protocols (PARP).”
August 7, 2023: Los Angeles Police Chief Michael Moore and LA County Sheriff Robert Luna, the top two law enforcement officials in LA, both appeared in a downtown courtroom Monday to testify against "zero bail," a policy of releasing arrestees before arraignment without forcing them to pay cash bail.
