Your Bond Must Be A Reasonable Value The Indiana Supreme Court has held that bonds must be reasonable. If a bond amount is unreasonably high, it may be seen as overstepping the intended purpose of ensuring your attendance at court. Sometimes, a seemingly outrageously high bond can be justified in the name of safety.
There's no magic number. The amount must reflect the severity of the offense and the defendant's flight risk. Because each situation is so unique, judges receive a lot of leeway in setting bail. Defendants must clear a high hurdle to prove bail was excessive.
The bail bond agent will need you to sign some paperwork in order for you to secure their services. This usually means paying an amount to the agent, usually a percentage of the total bail amount, and signing off on any collateral for the bond.
Bail Bonds Are Public Records Yes, in most instances, bail bond information is a public record. This includes the bond amount and the basic details of the defendant's case. However, the personal information of the individual who posted the bond and the specifics of the bail conditions often remain confidential.
Bail bonds are public record. However, the only information that is public will only be just the defendant's name and the bail bond company's name. If there is a co-signer, the name of this person may also be public information. Keep in mind the crime itself is typically public record in the United States.
For example, in California, bail bond records are generally public and accessible via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system.
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.
