Missing Juvenile Rescued After Suspected Human Trafficking Arrest in North Harris County A missing juvenile was found safe and reunited with family after an investigation into suspected trafficking in north Harris County, according to Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman's Office. The investigation began on September 24th after Precinct 4's Patrol Division received a report involving a runaway juvenile. Detectives said information developed during the investigation led them to suspect the child was being trafficked by a known individual from a residence in north Harris County. Investigators obtained a search warrant for the residence and served it with assistance from Precinct 4's Special Operations Unit. The juvenile was not located during the initial search, but authorities identified 35-year-old Brandi Lowe at the residence. Precinct 4 alleges that further investigation indicated Lowe had posted the juvenile online for trafficking purposes. The Harris County District Attorney's Office accepted a charge of Promotion of Prostitution against Lowe, who was subsequently arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail. Her bond was set at $20,000 through the 497th District Court. Investigators continued searching for the missing juvenile and, on September 25th, developed information leading them to a second location. Another search warrant was obtained and executed, resulting in the juvenile being located and safely reunited with family. Authorities have not publicly released the juvenile's age or the locations of either residence. Precinct 4 says the investigation remains ongoing and additional arrests could follow. An arrest and criminal charge are not a conviction. Lowe is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

imposing an extreme bail is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution. Eighth Amendment
Verbatim
Plain English Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Plain English
The government cannot require excessive bail, impose excessive fines, or inflict cruel and unusual punishments. What this means for you
Bail is money or property the government can require you to deposit before being released from jail while awaiting trial. The amendment protects against amounts that are unreasonably high relative to the offense and the risk of flight. In practice, courts have wide discretion in setting bail, and "excessive" is judged case by case. Fines are monetary penalties imposed as criminal punishment. Timbs v. Indiana (2019) extended the excessive fines protection to state and local governments, and the Supreme Court has limited civil asset forfeiture under this clause when the value taken is grossly disproportionate to the offense. Cruel and unusual punishment is the most-litigated phrase in this amendment. Courts have applied it to forbid certain methods of execution, to limit prison conditions (overcrowding, lack of medical care, prolonged solitary confinement in some circumstances), and to prohibit the death penalty for juveniles, for people with intellectual disabilities, and for non-homicide crimes. The death penalty itself remains constitutional under current Supreme Court doctrine, though the methods and applications continue to be challenged.

just a note about the political ads blaming "democrat judges" for people being out on bail, bail is required to be set for people arrested. the amount of the bail depends on the crime, the history of the accused and the likelihood of the accused showing up for court appearances.
it isn't democrat judges or polka dot republicans etc.

and interesting....Dan Patrick has an ad talking about how he keeps violent offenders in jail without bail till their trial...one issue just might be he doesn't set bails or preside over such issues. but it sounds good, huh?Gray boxed for being political and/or controversial in a General Chat discussion.
