What is a Bail Bond?
Bail Bond is a type of surety bond used to secure the release from custody of a person charged with a criminal offense. Under such a contract, the principal is the accused, the obligee is the government, and the surety is the bail Bondsman.
Most people are familiar with Bail Bonds. Someone arrested on a criminal charge may be held until trial, unless they furnish the required bail. The posting of a Bail Bond acquired by or on behalf of the incarcerated person is one means of meeting the required bail. When a bond is issued, the bonding company guarantees that the defendant will appear in court at a given time and place. The Government entity (state or federal) in whose court the defendant must appear, is protected by the bond. If the defendant fails to appear, the bond amount becomes payable and is forfeited as a penalty by the surety insurer issuing the bond. Bail Bonds usually require collateral (cash, a deed, or other property) to protect the surety.
Bail Bonds are issued by licensed "Bail Agents" who specialize in their underwriting and issuance. Bail agents act as the appointed representatives of licensed surety insurance companies.
Your Rights to Bail
Under current law, a defendant has the right to bail unless there is sufficient reason not to grant it. The main reasons for refusing bail according to the Bail Act 1976 are that there are substantial grounds for believing that the defendant (1) will flee; (2) will commit further offences while on bail; or (3) will interfere with witnesses. Conditions may be applied to the grant of bail, such as living at a particular address or, rarely, paying an amount into court or having someone act as surety. Release on bail is sometimes referred to as "police bail," where the release was by the police rather than by a court. The alternative to being granted bail is being remanded into custody (also called being "held on remand").
How Do I Get A Bond?
There are four ways in which a person may be released from custody:
A. You can use Bondsmen this means that you will pay a fee and need to use some form of collateral;
B. You can post cash for the full amount of the bond with the court or jail;
C. You can use real property (such as a home) with the court;
D. Lastly, the judge can decide to let the defendant go on there own recognizance.
What Do Bondsmen Accept As Collateral?
Each bonding office will have their own standards but, for the most part they will take:
A. Cash
B. Credit cards
C. Real estate
D. Stocks
E. Bonds
F. Local Checks (during business hours)
Can I finance the bail bond fee?
No. We do not offer payment plans.
Payment:
1. Cash
2. Visa
3. Master Card
4. American Express
5. Personal, Cashier's, or Traveler's Checks
6. Electronic Bank Transfers
Can I leave the state or country while I am out on bond?
You will have to get permission from the bonding office in writing before attempting to do so. If the court has given you direct instructions not to leave the state or country you must then get permission from the Bondsmen and the court before leaving. Otherwise you are subject to arrest!
What happens if the defendant misses their court date?
When the defendant misses a court appearance, a bench warrant is issued for the person's arrest. The defendant's name is then entered into a nation wide data base (NCIC) as a fugitive. The defendant's Bail Agency is obligated by law to arrest individual as well. This will cause the indemnitor to incur further costs.
