If the bail had been set at $10K and he still posted bail, would he


have been any less likely to have run people over?

IMO, bail should be used as a tool to ensure people show up for their court date. Period. If someone is deemed to be a threat to society, then deny bail based on that. But I don't know how setting the bail at a higher dollar amount makes them less of a threat to society.

If Elon Musk went on a killing rampage and swore he would kill again at the first opportunity, would you feel good about his bail being set at $10 billion?
