IN RE: OPPOSE H, B, 4207- REIMBURSEMENT FOR IMPRISONMENT
IF ACQUITTED OR FOUND NOT GUILTY
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Bill 4207 provides that who is arrested and
imprisoned and later ac:: or found not guilty of the crime charged must be
reimbursed fo-,- '.::s of earnings for each day held and that the court, on motion,
shall order payment from the county general fund; and
WHEREAS the County Executive strongly opposes this bill because arrests
that are not made by the Oakland County Sheriffs Department should not be the
obligation of the county but of the local unit making the arrest, and further, in
his opinion it is bad legislation because it does not permit a revie , ')y any agency
or ludic:Tol process which he believes would set a very bad precr--`
