When Justice Fails: What SB 562 Means for You and Your Family

May 7, 2025

It was just after midnight in Fresno when a man was arrested for assaulting his neighbor with a deadly weapon. By sunrise, he was back home—released without paying a single dollar in bail.

No trial. No accountability. No warning for the community.

This isn’t fiction. It’s happening all over California under the growing push for zero bail policies—and now, it’s about to get worse.

Senate Bill 562 (SB 562) proposes to make zero bail not just common—but mandatory. That means repeat offenders, violent criminals, and those with lengthy rap sheets could be released almost automatically after arrest.

If you think that sounds dangerous… you’re right.

Where SB 562 Leads Us

Imagine your daughter walking to school, past someone who was just arrested for robbery. Imagine that same person, with a history of violence, released hours later—free to roam because the state believes holding them would be “unfair.”

SB 562 ties the hands of judges and law enforcement. It removes the ability to consider prior convictions, public safety risks, or even how likely someone is to flee.

This isn’t about justice. It’s about cutting corners at the cost of community safety.

Public Safety Shouldn’t Be a Roll of the Dice

At Espinoza Bail Bonds, we’ve served California for decades. We’ve seen firsthand the role bail plays in keeping neighborhoods safe—ensuring people show up to court, giving victims peace of mind, and providing families a way to stay involved during legal proceedings.

With SB 562, that structure vanishes.

The promise of accountability becomes optional.
And the people left picking up the pieces? Families. Victims. You.

If someone you care about is arrested, don’t rely on a system that puts paperwork over protection.
