Runaway criminal expats - Heads must roll in the Home Team

Disgusted to read that another violent ang moh FT is allowed by the FT-loving Home Team to run away and for the ang moh tua kee Home Team taking so long to investigate the matter. After another violent ang moh FT ran away in the middle of last year, why didn’t the appropriate squad in the Home Team (the police force or immigration department, or both?) take action to ensure it didn’t happen again, and to hurry the case along. Really, for two out of three suspects in an assault case to be allowed to run away while the case drags on, is a cock-up and outrage of major proportions. (BTW, looks like the mat salleh FT (from Oz) that got jailed is really, really very stupid. No brains to run away. So much for the “T” standing for “Talent”*? At least the other two violent ang moh FTs had the talent to run away.)

AVA never do its job!!!!!!!!! :oIo:

Bail is granted by a judge not the police force. The judge also makes the decision whether or not to impound travel documents. You can't blame the poodles for a judicial decision.

They could have to shoulder a portion of the blame only if they did not oppose the bail application.

That's during the period of investigation. Once charges are laid and you appear before the court, bail and the associated conditions are decided by the judge after hearing requests from the defense and any opposition to bail from the prosecution.

By all means blame the kangaroo court but I don't think the poodles are at fault in this instance.

Who can grant bail?
The Court, a police officer who is not below the rank of sergeant and other law enforcement officers are empowered to grant bail.

When can an accused be released on bail?
An accused may be offered police bail after his arrest and before he is charged in Court. Once the accused is formally charged in Court and until the case is concluded, the police bail granted may be extended or fresh bail may be offered at the first mention by the Court.

Once bail is granted, the accused would be remanded until the bail bond is executed. If the bail offered is not processed within the same day, the accused would be remanded (imprisoned) until his next appearance in Court unless someone agrees to stand bail for him.

If a person agrees to be the bailor, he would have to go to the Bail Centre during its processing hours. The accused would be released from remand once the bail is furnished.

How is the amount of bail decided?
The amount of bail is at the Court's discretion. When bail is offered by the Court, the Prosecuting Officer may suggest an amount for the bail sum. If the accused or his counsel is of the view that the amount is too high, he may make a counter-proposal. The Court may proceed to hear arguments from both sides before determining the amount.

Some relevant factors considered by the Court are:

· the nature and gravity of the offence(s) charged
· the severity and degree of punishment which the conviction may entail
· the character, means and standing of the accused
· whether the accused is a first offender or has a previous conviction, etc.

Seriously $25K bail is a joke for those rich Ang Mohs.
