Imagine you jaywalking pun de road and yuh feel a tap pun yuh shoulder. Yuh get haul down to de station and when yuh family turn up fuh bail yuh, de bail amount more than de cost of a bicycle. Is better yuh did get charge fuh jayriding. At least de popo could have hold on to yuh bicycle.

De popo turning bail on its head. Is no longer about ensuring you return to the station. It is about sending yuh family to de bank or pawnbroker. Bail now soaring higher than Exxon’s profits.
