  1. The Basics of Bail Bonds

  2. The Basics of Bail Bonds • You're never ready for such sudden emergencies: a late-night phone call from a frantic family member or relative explaining that they've been arrested and taken to jail. Your initial thoughts are on how you can get them back out of prison as soon as possible. A bail bondman is also the fastest and simplest way to help bail out a friend or family member. It's crucial for you to learn how the bail bond process works from start to finish, and you can learn what to anticipate along the way. Also Read Los Angeles County Bail Bonds

  3. Arrest and Booking • When somebody has been detained, they will be brought to the detention centre for booking. The procedure would consist of fingerprinting, photos ("mug shots"), a background check and a nationwide warrant search. They will be checked for any guns or contraband, and all personal belongings will be collected and kept until they are released from jail. This procedure may take 2-6 hours to complete, based on how busy prison staff are dealing with other arrestees. • The defendant's bail fee will be decided once the court procedure has been finished and they will be able to arrange for the bail to be made. They would have access to a phone call to a relative or family member, a judge, or a bail bondman.

  4. Setting Bail • Several factors will be taken into consideration as the amount of bail is decided by the defendant. The judge would look at the past history; a convicted offender is likely to be granted a greater rate of bail than anyone who has no criminal background. The seriousness of the crime is another main consideration as a judge determines the amount of bail. The more serious the defendant's allegations are, the higher their bail amount. A judge will also determine if the individual is considered a flight risk, meaning that they are not likely to reappear for court.   Bail amount could be held higher for those the judge fears would not return to court.

  5. Bailing Someone Out • Bail amounts are set high for a reason-to make sure that the suspect returns back to face the charges against them. This amount may be tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most people don't have the resources to pay for such a huge sum of money. They may need to put up their home for protection in order to ensure the release of their loved one. If you want to pay the entire price of bail, you may have to transfer cash or contact the cashier directly to the prison or courtroom. If the defendant attends their legal hearings, this money will be given to you after the case has been settled. But it could be months or even years before you see your money again.

  6. The choice most people prefer is to deal with a bail bondman. It may be the most affordable option for you. Each state shall lay down regulations on how much a bail bond can be charged. In most states, the cost of bail bonds is 10%. For eg, if the defendant's bail is $20,000, you'll spend $2,000 to bail out your friend or family member. Thanks to state regulations, this amount can not be increased or reduced by the bondsman for any reason whatsoever. Few agents will be able to negotiate with you on payment plans for the bail bond premium, but they can not charge you any extra costs or that the overall cost.

  7. Indemnitor Responsibilities • When you decide to sign a bail bond deal with a bondman, you will become the "indemnitor." That implies that you agree to be financially responsible for the contract. • You must ensure that all scheduled court appearances pertaining to their case are made by the defendant. Make sure that the bail bondman and the court are kept up-to - date with the contact information of the defendant. • If the defendant escapes, or "jumps bail," you will be liable for covering the entire amount of the bail, as well as all extra legal charges and penalties, plus all expenditures incurred by the bondman by going after the defendant. This might include the cost of a bounty hunter. • It's a difficult moment when someone you worry for is in jail. You want to be sure that they are released as easily as securely as possible. If you want to take responsibility for bailing them out, though, you need to make certain that the defendant is willing to do what has to be done to meet their charges in court. • 805bail.com provides 24/7 Bail Bonds Santa Barbara Ca.
