"We at the ACLU of Ohio oppose Issue 1 unequivocally," Patrick Higgins, the ACLU of Ohio's policy counsel, told Fox News Digital.

Instead of promoting public safety, reliance on cash bail allows the wealthy to purchase their freedom while other legally innocent people sit in jail before their trial date."
