It seems like the $&#! for brains, ruling class of Illinois is declaring open season on themselves with a no bag limit. This might be interesting.

NO CASH BOND COMING TO ILLINOIS
https://www.winwithyoung.com/no-cash-bond-coming-to-illinois/
Starting January 1, 2023, a person arrested will no longer have to post cash to get out of jail in Illinois. Public Act 101-0652 eliminates the use of cash bond.

Normally, when a person is arrested for a criminal offense, examples are DUI, theft, assault, etc, the individual would have to provide a certain amount of money to be released from jail. This money is called “bond”. Further, a person would typically only have to provide or post 10% of the bond amount. So, if a judge sets a bond at $5,000.00, a person would have to post $500.00 to be released. Once the case is over, 90% of the amount that was posted would be refunded to the person, or used for the court fines

On January 1st, 2023, Illinois jails will turn many prisoners loose

An Illinois criminal justice reform law will do away with the cash bail system on January 1st, 2023, which means suspects charged with certain felonies — including second-degree murder, aggravated battery, and arson — will be released without bail.

“Approximately 400 criminal defendants will be released back into your community,” warned Winnebago County State’s Attorney J. Hanley.

“Anyone sitting in jail right now with all these pending charges, they’re going to be let out,” Johnson County Sheriff Peter Sopczak said. “The gates are open and they’re going to be let out onto the streets.”
