Five Days for a Traffic Ticket

Five Days for a Traffic Ticket

Published 2 days, 22 hours ago
Description

A man named Okeno Grant spent five days in jail for a traffic ticket over a child restraint violation — a case that should’ve been resolved in minutes, not days. The police held him without bringing him before a judge, sparking outrage from his lawyer, Sayeed Bernard, who called it a blatant rights violation. The absurd excuse? They needed a special vehicle to transport him — a bureaucratic mess that exposes deeper flaws in how minor offenses are handled. Though Senior Judge Desiree Alleyne granted him $10K bail, the damage is done — and the real fight is ensuring no one else suffers this kind of injustice.
