I'm not sure how being for getting rid of cash bail, which is basically the federal system as others have pointed out, has any bearing in a case where somebody was out on bail in a child support case.
The failure in the Brooks case seems to be that there were a couple of jurisdictions that didn't put Brooks's other legal problems into their system, lack of communication and not using the systems that did exist to see Brooks had other holds put on him.
But, squishy R's are still looking for whatever figleaf they can find to pull the lever for the Republican and still sleep at night.

Seems so simple, and likely something that most would agree to if they took the time to really think about it.
The only place where the bail system is working for public safety is from the some of the mistakes. The problem is that the cost of the system is way too high for the benefit.

And, as I understand it, not appearing to court on e.g. a felony is another felony.
