Here's the latest example of the public taxpayer funded "free bail bond stores" trying to stay unexposed. They just refused to let The American Bail Coalition's Executive Director attend their National Association Of Pretrial Services Agencies (NAPSA) upcoming convention.
It was at one such convention that I did attend where I heard one of their leaders announce to their largest gathering: "We must be free of these vampire bail bondsmen."
What they obviously do not want a private sector bail bond person hearing is details of their continued plan for bail's demise - fully in keeping with their Operating Standard Number Five: "There should be no compensated surety".
The one thing they fear the most? The light being shined upon them.
Ironic isn't it? "Fund us with your tax dollars, but don't look at us."
Your thoughts?

Hell hath no fury like NAPSA scorned.
