excessive bail

A quick definition of excessive bail:

Excessive bail is when a judge asks for too much money to be paid by someone who has been accused of a crime. This is not fair because it can be hard for the person to pay and it's not necessary to make sure they show up to court. The law says that bail should be a reasonable amount. However, some people may not be allowed to get bail if they are likely to run away or hurt others. The court has to decide if someone is safe to be let out on bail. The law also says that bail can't be used to punish someone more than they deserve. Sometimes, people have to wait a little while before they can get bail, but this is okay as long as it's not too long.

A more thorough explanation:

Excessive bail is when a judge orders an accused defendant to pay a very high amount of money to be released from jail before their trial. This amount is much more than what is necessary to ensure that the defendant will show up in court. The Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution protects against excessive bail, which means that the amount of bail cannot be unreasonably high. However, there is no absolute right to bail.

For example, if someone is accused of a minor crime like shoplifting, but the judge orders them to pay $1 million in bail, that would be considered excessive bail. This is because the amount of bail is much higher than what is necessary to ensure that the defendant will show up in court.

Another example is if someone is accused of a violent crime like murder and the judge denies them bail because they are considered a danger to society. This is not considered excessive bail because the judge is following the rules set out in the Bail Reform Act.

Overall, excessive bail is when the amount of bail is much higher than what is necessary to ensure that the defendant will show up in court. The Eighth Amendment protects against excessive bail, but there is no absolute right to bail.

I used to really like those built puffed bars (sounds like a vape lol) but their protein source is collagen and supposedly collagen doesn’t contribute to muscle building the way other forms of protein do

like it gets broken down into little amino acids but the jury’s still out on whether that actually contributes to increased collagen levels. some people say it stimulates the production of collagen but i dont think theres any conclusive evidence that it does that
shaquilleoatmeal
12:07
that collagen shit is probably all marketing just to target gym girls
babycat

I mean they say the bar has like 17g of protein and it’s pretty low cal and tastes good but I just don’t think you can call it a protein bar if the source is collagen

makes me so mad when I see collagen in skincare
shaq heck yeah family is the most important :) and yes collagen is worthless your body breaks it down into amino acids and it has zero unique value, plus collagen doesn't have all the essential aminos so it's worse than whey

despite WI leading in production, the bag says packaged in MA. IG cranberries are good for UTIs. Caned is more of a sugary jelly imo which is disrespectful of their tart distinct flavor profile
