  1. If he and Kenosha have wised up they will adhere to his job duties as listed in this article which states setting bail in criminal cases as a commissioner does not have statutory authority to set bond, bond conditions or non monetary bond conditions as the cr203 unlawful overreach of a commissioners authority as set clearly in state statute only gives a judge authority to set bond, deceptively called signature bond, bond conditions or any other non monetary conditions. Very smart if Kenosha is looking to keep their bond rating from tanking.
    The clock has struck truth so tread lightly ye who rule and level up or you will be held accountable by a higher authority, earthly or otherwise

    1. It would be nice if it was true about officials/ judges/commissioners etc…being held accountable. It seems like it rarely happens.

  2. Noticed at end of article he will set bail conditions, WRONG, commissioners do not have authority to set bail conditions as bail is monetary and once a defendant has met that condition that is the monetary condition to assure appearance in court, no other requirement is lawful for a defendant but to appear as the bail paid has met this requirement.
    Any other conditions violate the rights of a defendant being innocent til proven guilty and when he or she does appear state statute provides that the clothing they choose to wear is not what their appearance in court means, the statutes do not allow courts to twist appearance as what they choose to wear, if they want to wear shorts, that is their right according to state statute

    1. Except for the non-monetary conditions of bond which accompany the monetary conditions of bond which are defined by statute. Go back to the couch in your parents basement.

      3
      1
      1. Monetary conditions of bond you say?
        Are you serious? What is your reading comprehension level? No such thing as monetary conditions of bond as that is known as bail, dumbass. Bail and bond are completely different and do not work together. You are either released on bail which is money or bond which is a promise with money, comprende?
        A defendant released on bail can never be charged with bail jumping because they never jumped bail they paid it but they charge defendants very frequently for it although Wisconsin has never convicted anyone for bail jumping in a trial as they know it is illegal
        How bout this for telling you what is coming as truth, not put down the meth or ass clown as you anonymous ass clowns working for the criminal justice system cartel in Kenosha are to big of cowards to let it be known who you are
        My name is Paul Anthony Jensen I have an open case misdimeanor for 1 year 9 months currently
        Case 24cm1301 over 250 documents filed in court file here is the future for Wisconsin counties criminal justice reform over next 5 years:
        1)Exposure of judges not lawfully being assigned to cases which means not a legal court
        2) cr203 scam of conflating bail and bond and if a commissioner or judge can do
        3)charges for bail jumping which are illegal for a defendant on bail cannot jump bail since he is not on bond but paid the bail
        All 3 of these will be acknowledged by Wisconsin supreme Court and unlike other precedents that a county gets ruling reversed on and they keep the charade up, this will be different as every time they try to keep breaking the law as public servants they will be held accountable
        How’s that for a bold proclamation of what is to come
        And whether I sleep on my witch mothers couch in the basement or the GD rest area on i94, 1 thing is certain, these changes are coming

        2
        3
  3. Oh and do I need to state the obvious, any public servant who oversteps their lawful authority is governed accordingly under Wisconsin state statutes criminally under subchapter 946.12, misconduct in public office; a class I felony and upon conviction subject up to 3 years and 6 months in prison and up to a 10000 dollar fine
    Tread lightly ye public servants and when your puppetmasters ask you if anyone in your given position has ever been held accountable in over 150 years you would be wise to laugh at them and remind them that order is restored throughout human history on this earth, whether it be 150 years or 1500 years one thing is certain, divine restoration and the wicked eating the fruit of their ways is not just coming, it’s here, in last 10 years how many public servants have been charged and convicted for misconduct in public office compared to the previous 100 year
    Hmm, I wonder what is going on? Almost as if an almighty sovereign creator is stirring up man to bring a reckoning on nephlihm man. Follow state statutes and do not violate a citizens civil rights and you won’t have to look over your shoulder for the state or feds when they come to clean up this cestpool of previously name Southport known now as kenosha
    It’s about to be famous for all the wrong reasons
