Rep. Weaver, a representative from Illinois, has voiced concerns about the implementation of cashless bail in the state. According to Rep. Weaver, "Residents in our state are finding themselves less safe." This statement comes six months after the full implementation of cashless bail and other provisions of the Illinois SAFE-T Act.

The concerns raised by Rep. Weaver are supported by a recent article from The Caucus Blog of the Illinois House Republicans, titled "Cashless Bail Fails: six months of diminished public safety." This article highlights the negative impact that the implementation of cashless bail has had on public safety in Illinois.
