The SAFE-T Act, particularly its provision to eliminate cash bail, has led to confusion within the criminal justice system. This has made it challenging for judges to detain defendants and issue warrants effectively.

"Defendants are missing court appearances," a statement highlights the need for amendments to the act. The focus is on addressing these issues to ensure that the judicial process functions smoothly.

The call for reform comes as stakeholders seek solutions to improve the current situation and restore clarity in legal proceedings.
