The commander overseeing military operations in Los Angeles said that troops deployed to the city can temporarily detain individuals but cannot make arrests.
That’s fucking bullshit. Detaining people is absolutely a law enforcement operation.
I was arrested and bond was set ridiculously high and didn’t waive my speedy trial rights because I wanted to go to trial ASAP and get out of jail. The judge delayed it twice on me and I spent 270 days in jail until I found a bail bondsman who didn’t require any collateral because he believed someone who spent 270 days in jail instead of pleading out for time served wouldn’t jump bail. Charges were dropped shortly after I bailed out. I am not sure how they justified delaying my trial over and over but it was 100% bullshit.
