The elimination of cash bail is on hold in Illinois - at least for now - and a local law enforcement official is weighing in on the ruling from the first of the year.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers told Regional Radio leading up to the Illinois Supreme Court's ruling, which came on the heels of a ruling in Kankakee County, it had law enforcement agencies across the State wondering what everything meant for them.

According to Chief Lowers, law enforcement now moves forward with the status quo and hopes going forward, the dialogue is a little more thought. He calls it a relief statewide.

Chief Lowers contends the new regulations do not follow the Illinois Constitution. It is estimated the Illinois Supreme Court will take the issue up again around March.
