Posting Bail in Illinois Since there are no bail bondsmen in Illinois, those arrested can post bail directly to the court.

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.
Other counties, like Cook County, do not provide online access to criminal records. In this case, go to the Circuit Clerk's Office in the county where your case was filed. Ask the Circuit Clerk for copies of your court dispositions or use the public computer at the courthouse to look them up and print them out.
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.
