OFFICERS SHOULD BE CAREFUL PERSON NOT ALLOWED TO BE DEPRIVED OF HIS LIB ERTY AND DENIED BAIL, EVEN IF DRUNK VIOLA TION MISDEMEANOR UN DER LATE LAW PASSED BY LEGISLATURE. No person is allowed to be ar rested and deprived of his liberty in North Carolina without being permitted to give bail, even if drunk. This principle is laid down in ! House Bill 1177, passed by the late General Assembly of North I Carolina, which says that every officer making an rrest or other-i wise restraining a person of his liberty is required to inform the person who is being arrested or| detained, of the charge against him, and except in capital cases, ' to have bail fixed at a reasonable sum and be permitted to give bail bond. The officer must permit the person arrested to communicate • with counsel and friends immedi i ately. • Violation of this act is a misd* 1 - : meanor punishable by fine or im ! prisonment or both in the discre i tion of the court. I! The digest or analysis of this " act has just been published by 1 Popular Government of Chapel ! Hill. It would seem to make it unlawful for both officer and magistrate t G arrest or detain a person for alleged intoxication, depriving hi m of the chance for bail, and deporting him to a dis tance to jail in order that those ' who are interested may l-vy fees. Popular Government does not make it clear that this law elutll be >x post facto in its operations, which means to go back an I resurrect for re-hearing those cases in which citizens have been deprived of their libcrtty for trivial offenses, disgraced by terms in jail and otherwise hu miliated that petty officers and J magistrates may replenish their pocketbooks.
