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.
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.
Once bail has been set, the defendant or a third party can post the bail to secure the defendant's release from custody. If the defendant cannot afford to post bail, they may seek the assistance of a bail bondsman.
An inmate ordered released from custody during a video court hearing will be processed at the conclusion of the court session. It may take up to five hours for the inmate to be released.
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.
