The bail process is quite simple to understand. The court and jail will set the amount for bail and your bail bondsman will pay for it. Once this is done, you are free to leave jail under a promise to appear before court at a specified date.

Of course, knowing more about the finer details of the bail process allows for faster processing. With that in mind, here are a few tips you should take note of:

Tip #1: Note Down Jail Information

Your bail bondsman will require certain information before bail can be posted. Be sure to take note of the city, state, and full name of the jail you are in as your bail bondsman will need to locate you. Similarly, you will need to supply your full name and booking number (if you know it).

The most important information you should give straight away are the location of the jail and your full name. From there, your bail bondsman will call the jail to learn your booking number and how much the bail is.

Tip #2: Collateral is an Option

Under California Law, bail services charge 10 percent of your total bail as their fee. For example, a $5,000 bail will have a charge of $500. Trusted services for bail bonds in Los Angeles, such as JR’S Bail Bond, have no hidden charges.

Bail fees are an unexpected expense. Sometimes, you may not have the money to pay the fee. The situation only gets worse for those unprepared for unexpected situations. In such cases, know that many services will accept collateral such as jewelry and stocks. Additionally, many trusted services are more than happy to set up a personalized payment plan to help make paying off the bail fee easy on the wallet.

Tip #3: Keep Your Schedule Free

Don’t forget that you are free on bail because you have promised to show up on your court date. Be sure to keep your schedule free and appear in court during the specified date. Failure to do so will land you in even hotter water as the court will issue a bench warrant for you. Additionally, skipping bail significantly impacts your ability to secure bail in the future.

Defining Bail

Although capital offenses are primarily non-bailable, under California law, suspects accused of capital crimes have the right to undergo a bail hearing to determine their eligibility for bail, as well as the bail amount. If bail is granted, the accused often posts the amount with the help a bail bonds service.

In Knight’s case, however, the judge has set bail at $25 million with a bond equivalent to eight percent, or roughly $2 million. Such a large amount stemmed from prosecution evidence supposedly implicating the defendant in over 30 incidents of grave threats and extortion. In addition, the court has deemed Knight a flight risk.

The Need for Bail

While Knight’s case may be an exception given the high profile of the accused, anyone can find themselves in a bind about posting the bail amount determined by the court. The LAPD reported that local crimes recorded in the first quarter of 2015 were 26% higher than the same period last year. This may affect people from lower-income communities caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. If your loved one is facing the danger of jail time while awaiting trial, consider going to Orange County bail bonds providers such as JR’s Bail Bonds for a solution.

Jail time is never easy for anyone, and the inability to post bail has caused serious consequences in the lives of many people. This has led to lost jobs, as well as depression and other mental and emotional issues. In addition, being out on bail gives an accused enough time to prepare for this defense on his appointed day in court.

Orange County bail bonds services seek to help local defendants avoid such situations by giving them the opportunity to post bail. If you want to secure your loved one’s temporary freedom, lose no time in consulting such services, and help your loved one cope through a difficult situation.

Looking Back

Records provided by a federal court in St. Louis, MO, revealed that the six accused – Ramiz and Sedina Hodzic, Mediha Medy Salkicevic, Jasminka Ramic, Nihad Rosic, and Armin Harcevic – were all indicted on charges of providing material assistance to terrorists and conspiracy to provide material assistance to terrorists. According to another Dispatch article, the assistance reportedly comprised cash solicitations to buy surplus military equipment that will be shipped to contacts in the Middle East with other cask sent to relatives back in the Balkans.

Rationale for Bail?

As terrorism-related accusations are serious, your lawyer must cite any weak points in the prosecution’s case in order to be granted bail. An Orange County bail bond company can assist your loved ones with paying the bail as a start, but must check that the money came from legitimate income streams.

In a decision penned by U.S. Magistrate Judge David Noce, Armin Harcevic was released on $1-million bail while ruling that Sedina Hodzic can go after paying $250,000. Both defendants, however, were slapped with numerous conditions including house arrest. Previously, Harcevic’s record only had some work-related misdemeanors.

You deserve every option under the law to seek legal redress, especially when grave charges like terrorism are thrown your way. Make it work with a bail bonds company today.

Flagdown

Nelly’s coach bus was pulled over by state troopers while travelling in Putnam County just outside Nashville on the way to Los Angeles. The officers said the bus did not have a U.S. Department of Transportation and International Fuel Tax Association sticker, and went to search the vehicle right away upon smelling marijuana.

Evidence

Observers said the haul included five meth rocks, around 100 small Ziploc bags, a small amount of marijuana, assorted drug paraphernalia, and a number of handguns. Although Nelly was slapped with drug charges, his counsel insisted that the items came from other people who alighted from the bus before it was flagged down.

Paying Off

It’s up to the accused to pay the required bail bond, with commitments to be present at the court date. Nelly’s bail bond was set at $10,000 and he is scheduled to appear at a hearing on June 19, 2015, a FOX2NOW report stated. Although $10,000 may be considered small given the singer/actor’s income stream, things will be different when applied under LA County’s 2015 Uniform and Bail Schedule:

• Health and Safety Code 11357a – $35 fine for carrying less than 28.5 grams of marijuana
• HSC 11360b – $75 and court date for transporting no more than 28.5g of marijuana
• HSC 11364.1 – $250 and court date for possession of opium drug paraphernalia
• HSC 11377 – $1,000 and court date for possession of controlled substance (e.g. meth)

Although it was unknown if the seized firearms were loaded, numerous California Penal Code provisions mandate bail of at least $10,000 and a court appearance.

Being in the proximity of banned substances can be tough to explain away in front of a judge. That’s why you must seek bail to plan your defense and honor a commitment to be in court at the appointed date and time. Consult a Los Angeles bail bond expert today.

Where the Troubles Began

The Baltimore riots were sparked by the death of Freddie Gray after his arrest by the Baltimore police last April 12^th. Protesters like Bullock maintained that the police were “hunting and killing, not serving and protecting”, and found themselves the subject of the news in Baltimore. The now iconic picture happened outside the Baltimore Orioles baseball stadium, and Allen was photographed with another young man, whose name was not identified.

Allen was previously convicted of several minor offenses as a juvenile, often for theft and fighting. The charges against him now are his first as an adult, and he is now facing eight criminal counts, including malicious destruction of property and rioting.

The bail set by the court amounting to over $500,000 was almost twice the amount of bail set for each of the six police officers charged for the death of Freddie Grey. “It is just so much money. Who could afford to pay that?”, Bullock’s mother, Bobbi Smallwood, said.

Most People Can’t Afford Bail

In New York City, a Human Rights Watch report shows that only 37 percent of defendants who were offered bail could afford to post the bail amount. Many did not have the resources to pay even bail amounts of less than $1,000.

Those living on or below the poverty line face a great disadvantage, and in many cases, are left with no other recourse than to simply wait for their day in court in jail. For people like them, hope comes from companies like Jrs Bail Bond who have committed themselves to serving the underprivileged segments of society, and are determined to make bail bonds in Orange County as accessible as possible to anyone who needs them.

Aftermath of Jail

In New York City, a man named Miguel Padilla found himself in jail after driving with a suspended license. To get him out of New York City’s Rikers Island, his fiancée did everything to get the $1,000 cash bail needed, to no avail. Padilla pleaded guilty to the charge to get a shorter sentence and to be free as fast as possible. He spent a total of five days behind bars. After getting out of jail, however, he found himself jobless and at risk of not finding a job because of his new criminal record.

More People, Longer Days

According to a recent study by the Vera Institute of Justice, there is a steady increase in the number of people finding their way into jail because they can’t afford the bail amount set by the court. These people are increasingly spending more days behind bars, reaching up to 23 days. Three-quarters of them are spending these long days in jail either because of nonviolent crimes, or they are simply too poor to afford bail.

“We are punishing people for their poverty,” said Nick Turner, executive director of the Vera Institute. Not only are they facing problems due to their inability to post bail, but they’re also looking into a bleak future after a loss of income and a criminal record. Los Angeles residents can avoid this with the help of Los Angeles bail bonds professionals like those at Jrs Bail Bond, who are committed to serve the underprivileged.

Securing bail bonds in Los Angeles may involve costs, but dedicated agents can help those charged find the means to pay these costs. In the process, these agents are also helping those who may have unwittingly found themselves at brush with the law get on with their lives as painlessly as possible.
