Yeah yeah but remember this is a game, it's meant to be 3 things, f; u and n. FUN. Or as I call it, Fun Until Neglection. Meaning it's fun until your ready for a break from the game world. Making a "trail and bail" and "day in prison" takes the player out of the main game and puts them in a less enjoyable situation. However if the day in jail was playable, and you got to run around making a nuisance of yourself inside of the prison facilities then yes maybe it could be an option, but even then it does take you out of the main gameplay.
I think that, yes, the action taken need to be changed so you can bribe police and such to some agree, but from the trailer we can see they have changed a lot so far, for example the "cops grouping" where cops work together. Possibly with the A.I. so extreme we will see bribing and corruption more often.
