FAQ
For example, in California, bail bond records are generally public and accessible via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system.
Bail information is considered public record in the State of California, meaning that anyone (not only defendants themselves) can request this info. The details can be accessed via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system or the Criminal Intake Section.
Common reasons for bail denial include concerns about the gravity of the offence, potential risks associated with the release, and the accused person's criminal history. By understanding the reasons for bail denial, the accused person can work with their defense lawyer to address those concerns effectively.
When you work with a bail bondsman, you can remain anonymous if you wish. The only people who will know your name are the bail agent and the court. Your name will not appear on any public records associated with the case.
If an accused person is not released by police, the accused must be brought before the court for a bail hearing. The court (judge or justice of the peace) decides, based on the evidence and submissions of the parties, whether to detain or release the accused, with or without conditions.
In some jurisdictions, the court may also allow you to post a property bond, which will use property that you own as collateral for your conditional release. Unfortunately, though, if your bail amount is high, you may not have the resources to post bail with the court on your own.
The defendant can post their own bail or ask a family member or friend to post it. If the defendant uses a bond company, the company may require the defendant to have a co-signer (someone who will help the company find the defendant should they fail to appear).
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.
And while some will tell you that you can't remain anonymous, the short answer is actually yes, you can. (But with one major consideration.) The Court is going to need a name and person to return the bond to once the court date has been successfully completed.
A bail hearing is a court process wherein a judge or a justice of the peace decides whether an accused person will remain detained or whether they will be released while they await their trial or resolution of their case.
