00:00I would not do any bond when he hasn't even been charged.
00:02He doesn't even know if he is going to be charged.
00:05When this man was still not charged nearly one month after his arrest,
00:08the judge called the delay outrageous and wiped out his bond conditions on the spot.
00:12We will go on the record in the matter 26 GF 133 group file of Brandon Campo.
00:16Why don't we have anything charged almost one month to the day or two late?
00:21Because one of the charges lacks probable cause in the police report.
00:24Then don't charge that charge, but he should be charged by now.
00:27No, because I've asked for police follow-up to find the probable cause for that count.
00:32I thought you started something in Polk County where the day that they're arrested,
00:36they get probable cause, they get their initial appearance, they have a complaint filed.
00:40This should happen here too, because it's almost one month since this man was arrested,
00:45put on bail with significant cash of $1,000 with bail condition.
00:49If there's one count that is not yet enough for probable cause, then you can ask to amend the court.
00:55You know the statute, you know the rules.
00:58You can even amend an information upon preliminary hearing.
01:02Right now, this is ridiculous that it's almost one month since his arrest,
01:06since he was put on cash bail, that he has not been charged.
01:10If the court conducted a bond hearing within 72 hours of arrest,
01:14I could have told the court of this, but our county doesn't do.
01:16Our county should do that.
01:17When a person is arrested without a warrant and brought before a court,
01:21before a judge, a complaint shall be filed forthwith.
01:24This person was never brought before a judge.
01:26The probable cause was brought before the court with enough information for the court to determine probable cause.
01:32I don't charge based on probable cause, I charge based upon beyond a reasonable doubt.
01:36Then we cannot have bail.
01:38Then we cannot have bail or bond conditions.
01:40So people need to be let out immediately, forthwith.
01:43We can have bail conditions set based upon probable cause statements,
01:46and the complaints can be filed forthwith.
01:48We have the capacity to do that as long as law enforcement knows and they can prepare.
01:52All right, forthwith, within 48 hours, I will do bail.
01:55Within 48 hours, we will have the initial appearances in every single arrest,
01:59every single that comes in front of this court for bail and bond.
02:02I will speak with law enforcement of what the court's command is.
02:05I would not do any bond, zero bond, non-bond, because unless it's forthwith within 48 hours,
02:11nobody should have their due process rights taken away because we can't get a criminal complaint filed forthwith.
02:16I agree.
02:17It is unreasonable for people to be on a cash bond without seeing a court.
02:20Any bail bond conditions, any, because right now this individual,
02:25if I have him on bail bond conditions, this individual,
02:27and he's not getting a complaint filed a month and two days after,
02:32why should he risk to have bail bond jump violations when he hasn't even been charged?
02:36He doesn't even know if he is going to be charged.
02:39I agree.
02:39So, zero bail, zero bond, unless we have a criminal complaint filed forthwith within 48 hours.
02:45I agree.
02:45Done.
02:45Then that's what we're going to do.
02:47So, Mr. Campo, so you are forthwith discharged from all bail bond conditions.
02:52Now, immediately, cash will be returned to you, bond gonzo.
02:56Okay?
