Yes! In California, bonds can be posted twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. But whether you can bail someone out of jail at any time depends on their situation. When someone is arrested, they have a first appearance soon after.
It is rather a way of securing a defendant's agreement to abide by certain conditions and return to court. In that sense, bail is like collateral left with the court to ensure that, after the defendant's release from jail, he or she will return for the remaining parts of the criminal case.
Bailing someone out of jail who has a history of untrustworthy behavior can create headaches. You're essentially agreeing to put up 10 percent of a bail bond that could be tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of dollars. If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.
How Long Can a Person Be Out on a Bail Bond? Most states allow the bail bonds to last anywhere from 90 to 120 days. However, the time period varies based on the seriousness of the crime. The person's previous criminal record is also considered.
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.
