I got several ideas, let me mention just one to you, that I think is a great idea. Something that's happening very much here in Harris County. If you are out on bond for a felony and you are arrested for another felony, you must be denied bond. That is a law that I will work with state legislators to get passed to make sure that this is another way that we get dangerous criminals off of our streets. (06:59–07:08)
