50 Cent Claims ‘LA Is Finished’ After Return of No-Bail Policy

50 Cent is weighing in on a Los Angeles judge's decision to green light a no-bail rule.

Under the policy, those accused of crimes like theft, drug use, shoplifting, battery, and vandalism will not be arrested. Those who are already in jail for similar offenses will be released without having to post bail before their arraignment. (People arrested for crimes like domestic violence and or ones involving weapons are not included in the policy.)

"LA is finished," the rapper wrote on Instagram alongside a video of a Fox 11 report on the decision.

He added, "watch how bad it gets out there.SMH 👀"

This isn't the first time L.A. has had the zero-bail policy. The city also carried out the regulation during the coronavirus pandemic to avoid overcrowding jails.

L.A. County Superior Court Judge Lawrence Riff reinstated the policy in May, and it's in effect for 60 days. It serves as a response to class-action claims from six plaintiffs who said their inability to pay bail caused them to miss work, lose medical care coverage and be away from their families while in jail. They also alleged that the previous policy leaned more favorably toward the wealthy.

"Enforcing the secured money bail schedules against poor people who are detained in jail solely for the reason of their poverty is a clear, pervasive, and serious constitutional violation," Riff said in his decision, which spanned 64 pages.

Added the judge: "Pretrial detention of presumptively innocent people based upon their poverty is neither intended nor permitted to operate as a form of punishment, but that is, plaintiffs say, what is actually happening every day."

He touted the new policy as "constitutionally sound, effective, concrete."
