Cash bail means you give the court money as a promise that you will show up for your trial / hearings / arraignment whatever. Don't show up? Court keeps the money.

The CRT crowd claims that it's racist because only white people have money. Eliminating Cash bail means that a bank robber / wife beater / rapist / drunk driver can stand in front of a judge and say "yeah, sure... I'll show up to face the consequences of my actions in a few months". And then when they don't show up (because why the fuck would they?) the court issues a warrant for thier arrest.

There are no pros to a civil society. The only pros are to those seeking to undermine any form of a society where laws matter and there are consequences for breaking the law.

Simple, short of having cash bail: Pros: not having to lock up every accused person that is a flight risk (costly) Cons: allows profiteering from the bail loans game (mitigated by transfer of risk to bail bondsman which allows poor people to access same rights as rich people)

Of not having cash bail: Pros: ? Cons: either all accused will need to be locked up or let free, grave injustices rampant both ways

Important point- just because people violate, abuse or misuse a law doesn't make the law wrong, but underscores the need for putting people in that will properly recognize and enforce it. Changing a valid functional law doesn't change criminal behavior. Making clearer or stronger penalties for the law breakers and their accomplices may be the better remedy.
