What are Bail Bonds?

Bail is the process or providing money to get out of jail after an arrest. When you

receive bail, you are under obligation to appear in court for the trial. Depending on

the amount of bail charged to obtain your release, you may need to contact a bail

bondsman. A bondsman provides the majority of the bail amount while charging a

typical fee of ten to 15 percent of the actual bail amount. The bondsman will also

require alien against something of equal value to the remaining bail amount.

For instance, it a bail amount is set for 10 thousand dollars, you would need one

thousand dollars in cash to obtain the bond. Then sign a lien against your home to

secure the remaining 9 thousand dollars of the bail bond. In some cases, our bail

amount may be determined by a set schedule according to the offense. This is known

as stationhouse bail. You are able to pay or arrange bail without seeing a judge and

obtain your release from jail much faster.

How is Bail Set?

Bails are generally set in accordance with a specific schedule and the judge’s

discretion.

A schedule is determined by a majority vote of superior, municipal and other judges.

Depending on the offense the bail amount may be fixed in accordance with a

schedule; and the arrested individual can post bail shortly after booking for the

charge. The schedule of bail for all bailable offenses, as its known, can be affected by

the case specifics, in more serious charges, bail is posted at an arraignment

proceeding by a judge. The judge will keep the schedule in mind when determining

bail. However, a judge’s primary concern is for the safety of the public. Bail amounts

may be set high or even denied if the crime is particularly serious. In addition, a judge

must be convinced that the bail funds were not gained as part of a criminal act. This

prevents drug money from being used as bail.

What are the benefits of hiring a Bail Bondsman?

If you‘re arrested for a criminal offense, using a bail bondsman can do more than gain

your release.

Bail Bond agencies can offer you the benefits of saving your money when posting

bail, instead of providing the full bail amount in cash, a bail bondsman can proved

your release for a percentage of the bond and collateral. Use of a Bondsman provides

added confidentiality. Bail bonds offer the ability to avoid providing personal

information for transferring cash with several people and financial institutions

involved. A bail bond release allows you to avoid any conditions imposed as part of a

citation or own recognizance release.

If you’re organizing a release for someone else, you may be able to impose

conditions of release, including the completion of a treatment program for substance

abuse.

A bail bondsman allows you to safeguard your assets by allowing you to coordinate

the accuser’s return to confinement in the event of possible flight. Bail Bondsmen can

arrange bail in many jurisdictions and help prevent an arrest by coordinating bail in

that location.

A bail bondsman saves time being familiar with the process and assisting with the

paperwork.

When is Bail Granted?

Bail may be granted based on your crime and a set schedule at the police station.

Stationhouse bail is based on a fixed bail amount per offense.

Bail can then be paid and release gained from jail at a time following arrest

processing. In more serious offenses, you may have to be arraigned in court. You

should have an attorney represent you at an arraignment. A judge then determines if

bail will be granted and sets the bail amount.

The circumstances of the offense are a factor in determining if bail is granted. Bail

may also be granted following a formal indictment. If you’re convicted of an offense,

bail may be granted while awaiting sentencing. Making a probation application or

filling an appeal, bail can be withheld if you’re charged with a capital crime or violent

felony. If you represent a threat to another person, your bail may also be withheld.

What is considered by the Court in setting the amount of the bail?

The amount of the bail is first and foremost within the scope and discretion of the

judge or magistrate, with only two general limitations:

1. The purpose of bail is not to penalize or punish the defendant, but only to secure the

appearance of the accused, and it should be set with that in mind.

2. Excessive bail, not warranted by the circumstances or the evidence at hand.

Is not only improper but a violation of constitutional rights. In fixing the amount of the

bail, the court takes into consideration the seriousness of the charge, the defendant's

previous criminal record, and the probability of the defendant appearing at the trial or

hearing.

Additionally, if public safety is an issue, the court may make an inquiry where it may

consider allegations of injury to the victim, danger to the public and/or to the

defendant him/her self, threats to the victim or a witness, the use of a deadly weapon,

and the defendant's use or possession of controlled substances.

What is the purpose of bail?

The purpose of bail is to assure the attendance of the defendant, when his or her

appearance is required in court, whether before or after conviction. Bail is not a means

of punishing a defendant, nor should there be a suggestion of revenue to the

government.

For additional information on the Purpose of Bail, contact Aaron Bonding Company.

Is Bail a Constitutional Right?

The right to due process of law protects you in the event of an arrest. In additional to

requiring a prompt jury trial and the counsel of an attorney, due process allows

reasonable bail to be set to secure your release until your court appearance.

The ability to obtain bail protects you from potential employment loss or debt

delinquency. A release on bail prior to a trial also protects innocent individual from

emotional distress caused by their confinement.

Bail may be withheld for offenses where punishment may be the death penalty of life

without parole. If your release posses a threat to another person, you may also be

denied bail, depending on your crime, bail may be set at an amount too great for you

to obtain a bond and your pretrial release.

Setting high bail is legal. Keep in mind that a percentage in cash and collateral for the

bail balance is required to obtain a bail bond.
