"But Grundy County Sheriff Ken Briley is raising concerns because the law will ban arrest for people accused certain misdemeanors. He cited trespassing as an example.

"Today, I can arrest him if you sign a complaint for trespassing," Briley said. "January 1st, I'm not going to be able to do that. The law says I have to write him a ticket and leave."

Sheriff Briley worries about the possible ramifications in his community.

"And if we can't arrest them and solve people's problems, we don't want people to take matters into their own hands," Briley said.

Grundy County State's Attorney Jason Helland is also raising his own concerns.

"When no cash bail applies to every jurisdiction, all 102 counties in the state of Illinois, I'm really concerned about seeing criminal activity that we've never seen in this area," Helland said.

But reform advocates say keeping people locked up simply because they can't afford bail is wrong."
