Leaving California on Bail with a Bond Posting bail via a bondsman doesn't impact the travel limitations of your bail agreement. However, you should still inform the bail bondsman about your travel plans as they are currently responsible for your court appearances and the finances used to secure your freedom.
Even when operating across state lines, bail bond agencies must adhere to the local laws and regulations of each state. This includes differences in the amount of bail, conditions for release, and the procedures for posting bail.
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.
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.
Bailing someone out from another state involves extra steps (for good reasons). Generally, you must go through additional steps to verify your identity. You will need to sign several documents confirming your identity.
Travel Restrictions. Defendants out on bond are often required to remain within a certain geographic area, usually within the state or county where the case is being prosecuted. Travel outside of this area is typically prohibited unless explicitly permitted by the court.
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.
