While it may seem surprising, in most cases the police do not need a warrant arrest you. It all comes down to probable cause — if the police have probable cause to believe that you have committed a crime, they can arrest you without going to a judge for a warrant first.
For instance, a California judge might post bail at $50,000, letting the defendant secure their release for just $5,000. However, judges may not grant bail in some situations. When this happens, it can result in a “no bond” situation.
An arrest warrant is valid until it is served or until the court that issued it invalidates it. This may be done on motion of the prosecuting authority or as a “housekeeping” measure by the court itself.
Failing to post bond has several consequences: Extended Jail Time: You remain in custody until your court date, ranging from weeks to months. Court Appearances: Regular court appearances are required.
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.
