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.
If a person can't make bail in Sacramento, they must remain in jail until their case eventually goes to trial. The so-called “pretrial detention” period — the time between when a person is arrested and their case reaches a courtroom for a trial — can take anywhere from several weeks to several years.
Is Crime the Same as Fidelity? No, crime and fidelity are not the same, although they are closely related. Fidelity bonds specifically protect a business from losses caused by fraudulent acts committed by its employees.
Reimbursement vs. Indemnity: Surety bonds provide reimbursement to the oblige (typically the owner of the job) by the surety, whereas crime insurance policies indemnify the insured for direct losses incurred due to covered criminal acts.
The bail amount is based on the crime(s) for which the individual is arrested as well as his or hire criminal history. For example, misdemeanor bail typically starts at $5,000 – $10,000. Felony bail starts at $25,000 and increases depending on the seriousness and number of charges.
