Most bond agreements include travel restrictions, confining you to a specific geographic area such as your county or state. These limitations are designed to ensure your availability for court dates. If travel is necessary, you must seek prior approval from the court or your bail bondsman.
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.
Assault is verbal in nature, while battery is physical. For example, if you tell someone you will slap their face, you have committed assault. If you do actually slap the person's face, you have engaged in contact with the person and committed battery.
Words alone do not constitute assault. Harmful words paired with threatening gestures or advancements on a person may be considered assault. Battery is the act of knowingly provoking physical contact with another individual or causing them bodily harm. Pushing or shoving someone can be considered battery.
Simple assault—with no aggravating factors—is a class C misdemeanor in Illinois. A person convicted of simple assault faces up to 30 days of jail time and a $1,500 fine. If no jail time is ordered, the judge must order 30 to 120 hours of community service.
California's statewide Penal Code also provides minimum bail amounts for certain crimes. If a county hasn't adopted a schedule, the statewide figures apply. For misdemeanor assault, for example, the Code mandates $10,000 minimum bail.
