It’s not about the amount of bail but rather the price of a bond.

If the bond costs 10% then you can’t pay bail if it’s set to 10 million or even a million or even lower for most people, if it’s capped at say $100 something that even some US states do then it’s not as much of a problem.

If you look at the US bondsman industry it’s focused on the states not with the highest average bail set but those with the highest prices on bail bonds.
