I have long thought that the practice of bail is completely archaic. Either you are too dangerous or too much of a flight risk to be released, or you are not. The amount of money you possess doesn't have anything to do with those things. Bail should be applied around common sense.

That said,

    look at other ways of guaranteeing an appearance in court.

good luck.
