Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 03:49:16 GMT

The ACLU and a Stanford legal clinic are suing the Santa Clara County Superior Court, alleging it forces poor people wanted on low-level warrants to be jailed just so they can get in front of a judge who will likely decide they don’t belong in jail.The lawsuit filed Monday contends that the South Bay is out of step with a multitude of other California county courts that allow people wanted for non-violent arrest warrants to voluntarily appear in court, without first going to jail, to sort out their warrants as well as their eligibility for remaining free.As a consequence of the Santa Clara County court policy, the lawsuit asserts, people with arrest warrants who can’t afford their bail amount must surrender and be admitted into jail before they can get assigned a court date and have the chance to argue for why they should be out of custody while their case is adjudicated.The suit lists Nikolaus Jackson O’Neill Rogge and the civil-rights group Silicon Valley De-Bug as pla...
