$200.00 unsecured bond? wow! Thats the issue. These commissioners are working against the police and creating and promoting more criminal activity.

1:07, I hate to say it, but you are an idiot. I think that the commissioner probably looked at the situation, looked at the guy's record, if he had one, and then made a judgement. Was the dude in the wrong, absolutely, and I'm not defending him, but I would think that the commissioner made a judgement call. I personally think it should have been more than a couple of hundred bucks, and if it had been me making that call, I would have made it a lot higher.

Also, he did leave the car running and presumably locked, and probably had proof that he was making a return, so that may have played a role in the decision. CPS will do a full investigation of the incident, and will decide if the child should go back to the father.

People are stupid. People are idiots. I'm not sure if you realize this but, when you label others with these derogatory labels, it comes across as you being the stupid idiots.

A lot of you need to learn to express your ideas and opinions with using personal attacks.

YOu are instantly denied any credibility when you do so.

Clean it up.
