Bail Vs Bond In Georgia

Q: How long does it take to bond someone out in Georgia?

No - if you signed the bond it doesn&#039;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.

Description

The Bail Bond Agreement in Georgia outlines the terms and conditions under which a bail bond is executed on behalf of a defendant. It highlights the distinction between bail and bond, emphasizing that bail refers to the money paid for release, while a bond is a written agreement to ensure the defendant's attendance in court. Key features of the form include the obligation of the applicant to pay a premium to the bail bonding company, indemnification clauses protecting the company and surety from liabilities, and requirements for cooperation in ensuring the defendant's appearance in court. Filling out this form involves providing accurate information regarding the applicant, defendant, and the bail bonding company. It also requires understanding the implications of non-compliance, such as surrendering the defendant or covering any additional costs incurred. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in criminal law, as it facilitates the bail process while ensuring all parties are legally protected. Users should be aware of their financial responsibilities and the process for recapturing defendants should they fail to appear in court. Additionally, the document provides a framework for the ongoing relationship between the applicant and the bail company, clearly stating the consequences and obligations upon signing.

Those conditions normally involve refraining from using or possessing alcohol, firearms, and drugs (unless prescribed by a physician) while out on bond, not violating any other laws while out on bond, and in cases of violence, having no contact with the victim in the case.

Defendants out on bond are often required to remain within a certain geographic area, usually within the state or county where the case is being prosecuted. Travel outside of this area is typically prohibited unless explicitly permitted by the court.

In Georgia, after an arrest, you are entitled to a bond hearing within 72 hours (not including weekends and holidays). During this hearing, a judge will decide if you should be detained or released pending trial. If you are not charged with a crime within this period, you must be released.

In some cases, the defendant may be considered a threat to public safety and denied bail. This is usually seen in cases where the defendant is accused of a hate crime, terrorism, or stalking, or if the defendant has a history of making threats or violence against others.
