Bailing someone out of jail who has a history of untrustworthy behavior can create headaches. You're essentially agreeing to put up 10 percent of a bail bond that could be tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of dollars. If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.
No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
After an arrest in Pennsylvania, a criminal defendant is taken before a Magisterial District Judge (MDJ) who sets the bail amount. If the defendant pays the bail amount or uses a bail bond service, he or she will be released from jail while awaiting further developments in the case.
Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation. When someone is arrested, they have a first appearance soon after.
If there are no other reasons, then my recommendation would be for you to ask his attorney to submit a Writ of Habeas Corpus to the court. This writ is a petition to the court that basically demands that they bring your boyfriend to court and allow him to have a bond assigned to him, as it's his legal right.
Bail operates as collateral. It is a financial guarantee that you'll appear in court. A bond is posted by a bail bond company to secure your release. You can use a bail bond company if you cannot afford bail.
