California Laws on the Illegal Practice of Soliciting Bail in Jail and Court Facilities

The Following information was provided to all Bail Agents Licensed in the State of California.

There has always been questions and complaints pertaining to the Soliciting of Bail on Jail and Court Property.

The State of California has finally ruled on the this practice and has concluded that the state has the right to ban the practice.

Please read the following for details on the States decision.

Background
The California Second District Court of Appeals recently ruled on a case, People v. Todd Russell
Dolezal; which involved directly soliciting bail bond business at a county jail. The court ruled that
prohibiting a bail bondsman’s direct solicitation of bail from arrestees does not violate the first and
fourteenth amendment’s protection of commercial speech. Specifically, that Title 10, Chapter 5,
Section 2079.1 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), passes constitutional muster, under
intermediate scrutiny, because it substantially serves the state’s interests and is sufficiently tailored to
advance these interests.

In the ruling, the court stated that the state had asserted three substantial interests: protection
of arrestees from harassment, the facilitation of an efficient jail administration by preventing bail
agents from congesting intake and visiting areas, and protecting the right to bail. The court
further stated that soliciting bail is “commercial speech” that is subject to government
regulation. For someone who has just been arrested, the court said, a jail is a stressful setting
in which the inmate may lack the information needed to assess a sales pitch and may be
vulnerable to pressure to make an immediate decision. The ban on unsolicited contact with an
arrestee also helps preserve order and security by discouraging bail agents from showing up at
the scene of an arrest or hanging out in jails to search for clients.

Reminder of Bail Solicitation Laws
The court’s decision in this case serves as a reminder that bail agents may not solicit bail from
arrestees unless they receive a request for bail services from the arrestee, an adult member of
the arrestee’s immediate family or a person designated by the arrestee in writing, to request
such services. The regulations regarding solicitations that bail agents are required to comply
with are Sections 2074, 2079 and 2079.1 of the CCR. The text of these regulations is as
follows:

 Section 2079 of the CCR states that no bail licensee shall solicit bail except in accordance
with Section 2079.5 and from:
(a) An arrestee;
(b) The arrestee's attorney;
(c) An adult member of the arrestee's immediate family; or
(d) Such other person as the arrestee shall specifically designate in writing. Such
designation shall be signed by the arrestee before the solicitation, unless prohibited by the

rules, regulations or ordinances governing the place of imprisonment. If so prohibited, it may 

be signed after release of the arrested to ratify a previous oral designation made by him. 

 Section 2079.1 of the CCR states that any solicitation of an arrestee himself pursuant to 

Section 2079 (a) shall be only after a bona fide request for bail services has been received 

from the arrestee or from a person specified in Section 2079 (b) or (c). Any solicitation of a 

person specified in Section 2079 (c) or (d) shall be only between the hours of 7 o'clock a.m., 

and 11 o'clock p.m., unless the bail licensee is directly and specifically authorized in writing 

by the arrestee or the arrestee's attorney to make such solicitation at some other specific 

time. 

 Section 2074 of the CCR states that except as provided in Sections 2074 and 2079.5, no 

bail licensee shall solicit any person for bail in any prison, jail, or other place of detention of 

persons, court or public institution connected with the administration of justice; or in the 

halls or corridors adjacent thereto; provided that a bail licensee may in such halls, corridors 

or in other rooms or areas where not prohibited by local rule or ordinance transact bail with 

persons specified in Section 2079 who have prior to transaction, requested his services. 

Insurance Code section 1814 provides, "The violation of any…rule of the [insurance] 

commissioner made pursuant thereto, is a public offense, punishable by fine not exceeding ten 

thousand dollars ($10,000), or by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 of 

the Penal Code [Felony], or in the county jail not exceeding one year [Misdemeanor], or by both 

that fine and imprisonment." (Ins. Code, § 1814.)

Sheriff's Patrol Helicopter Makes Precautionary Landing on Del Amo Blvd at Paramount Bl, Lakewood From Bail Bondsman In Lakewood

Sheriff's patrol helicopter Air-24 was forced to do a precautionary landing Sunday (10/21) at about 8:50PM, after the sheriff's fight crew heard a loud noise coming from the aircraft while in flight. Concerned that there may be something wrong with the aircraft, the Air-24 crew notified Lakewood Sheriff’s Station deputies of the landing on Del Amo Boulevard, between Paramount Boulevard and Cherry Avenue, Lakewood. Once the crew was clear to land, the crew was able to land under full power of the aircraft. Once they landed safely, the sheriff's flight crew made an outside check of the helicopter which revealed that the loud noise was caused by a bird striking the fuselage (the cabin) above the pilot canopy. The full damage to the aircraft will be assessed by Los Angeles County Sheriff's helicopter mechanics. Air-24 is an American Euro Copter. Del Amo Boulevard, between Paramount and Cherry Avenue, Lakewood, will be closed for approximately 2-3 hours. Depending on the damage, Sheriff's Aero Bureau Air-24 may have to be moved via a trailer. No one was injured, and there was no property damage caused by the landing.

2 Suspects in Palmdale pursued by Sheriff Deputies, from Bail Bondsman in Palmdale

As a Bail Bonding company in Palmdale, we make it our responsibility to stay on top of things that may happen in the city. The following information was provided to our bail agency by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. 

Palmdale Deputies pursued two suspects throughout the eastern end of the city before they gave up near a gas station at 30th Street East and Palmdale Blvd. 

The incident began when Palmdale Sheriff’s Station received a call form a concerned citizen indicating there was a suspicious grey GMC truck in the “Desert Winds Community Church” parking lot, located at 38117 13th Street East in the City of Palmdale. 
As deputies approached the vehicle they observed 51 year old James Balladarez seated in the driver seat of the vehicle and 27 year old Katherine Howard seated in the rear extended portion of the truck. As deputies began identifying why Balladarez was in the closed church’s parking lot, he became agitated and started digging for an item in the center console of the vehicle. Balladarez slid his hand inside of a cloth bag, retrieved from the center console, and placed it to his head indicating he had a firearm in the bag and was threatening to harm himself. 
Deputies immediately began ordering Balladarez and Howard out of the vehicle and to drop the firearm while assisting units responded to their location. Upon the arrival of assisting units Balladarez still refused to exit the vehicle and appeared upset and irrational in his behavior. Howard, who was still in the back of the car, appeared to be conversing with Balladarez, and deputies believed was asking him to release her from the vehicle. 
Deputies continued to attempt to coax Balladarez, when he abruptly drove out of the parking lot, with Howard in the vehicle, and led Palmdale personnel on a slow speed pursuit through the eastern Palmdale area. During the 15 minute pursuit Balladarez stopped approximately four times and appeared to be surrendering to authorities, however again drove off each time. 
Finally Balladarez drove the truck into the parking lot of a Chevron gas station near the corner of 30th Street East and Palmdale Blvd and stopped adjacent to one of the refueling pumps. Station personnel used less than lethal weapons to break the rear window of the truck, and deployed a CS Gas canister into the interior of the vehicle. Balladarez exited the truck and surrendered without further incident. 
Balladarez was transported and booked at the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station on charges of Evading a Peace Officer, Possession of Illegal Weapons, Ex-Felon in Possession of Ammunition, and an outstanding forgery warrant. Through follow up investigation Deputies determined that Howard was working with Balladarez to elude officers and she was subsequently charged with resisting a police officer and two outstanding warrants for theft and driving under the influence. Deputies were not able to locate a firearm inside of the truck and believe he simulated the firearm using a pair of vise grips inside of the bag.

3 GANG MEMBERS CHARGED WITH SANTA CLARITA / CANYON COUNTRY BANK ROBBERY

By Jeff Chavez
On Wednesday September 12 2012, the quiet city of Santa Clarita, Canyon Country, was the starting point of what some call a Robbin Hood story. A local Bank of America on the 19000 block of Soledad Canyon was robbed by 4 men. Shortly after the robbery, a vehicle pursuit began. It is alleged by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs office that at least 3 of the 4 supects are reputed Rollin' 40s Crips gang members. There are currently 3 suspects in custody with the 4th still at large.

The 3 suspects in custody are the following: Phillip Ely 29, Lavelle Mosley 22, and Terion Lamarr Collins 25. To the left are the Los Angeles County booking sheets. The long chase came to an abrupt stop after the 4 men were trapped by traffic in the the city of Los Angeles. Before the men could be arrested they threw out large amounts of money, the exact dollar amount is unknown. The suspects could be seen driving through residential neighborhood throwing out the money as locals looked on; of course it didn't take long until swarms of people rushed the tossed money.

As of the writing of this story only $1500.00 dollars has been recovered by local lawenforcement, the exact dollar amount taken in the robbery has not been released by authorities.

Many people in the community look at the act of throwing out the money as an act of charity, of the poor and disfranchised taking from the Haves to give to The Have Nots. We here at All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita just see a bunch of criminals trying desperately to escape an inescapable situation. On a personal note, I am very amused at the authorities optimism on retrieving any more of the stolen loot, and quite frankly just consider it to be another Obama stimulus package of taking from the rich and giving to the poor.

As the bail for each individual is well over a million dollars, we do not foresee any of the individuals being bailed out for the duration of this case and with possibility life sentences it's definetly better of that they don't.

Please check in with us periodically as we at All American Bail Bonds will be updating the story, when information is provided.

Barricaded Suspect Surrendered to LASD Deputies After Pushing Female From His Moving Vehicle, Lynwood The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of a woman is under investigation by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide detectives.

During the pursuit the suspect pushed a woman out of the car at the intersection of Josephine Street and Harris Avenue in Lynwood. Several sheriff's deputies continued the pursuit of the suspect while other deputies tended to the woman. The victim, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect got out of his car at the 14000 block of Chadron Avenue, Hawthorne and barricaded himself in an apartment. Century Sheriff's Station deputies, neighboring sheriff's station deputies, and Hawthorne police officers surrounded (contained) the area so that the suspect could not escape, and evacuated several nearby apartments for the safety of the residents. Special Weapons Team deputies from the Special Enforcement Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department soon arrived on the scene, as well as Crisis Negotiation Team members whose goal is a peaceful surrender of the suspect. At approximately 1:50 a.m. Friday morning, 30-year-old Suspect Juan Diego Valencia, of Los Angeles, walked out of the apartment and surrendered to Sheriff's Special Enforcement Bureau deputies.

Cell Phone Thefts Up, 8 Tips on Cell Phone Theft Safety

Here at All American Bail Bonds it has come to our attention that the cell phones have increased throughout Los Angeles County as well as the Nation. Because cell phones contain so much personal information as well as passwords, thieves are targeting these mobile devices.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff and other police agency's have found several common factors with cell phone theft. This information was provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department to help keep the public aware. 

Cell Phone Safety Tips:

1. Password Protect Phone:  Use the security lock code, or PIN feature, to lock your phone. Make it more difficult for others to access your personal information in your stolen phone.
2. Save Serial Number: Save your cell phone's serial number model and make, and keep it in a place where you can find it.  Your serial number proves its yours.
3. Don't Store Secrets: Consider carefully what information you store in your phone. If it's stolen, it's not that difficult for bad guys to pull out your private information before clearing the memory and reselling the device. If it would create too big of a disaster if your information fell into someone else's hands, don't store it. You may not guarantee your phone won't be stolen, but if the information isn't in the phone, the thief can't use it for Identity Theft.
4. Activate Tracking Device: Activate the Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking system on your phone or other electronic device. If the device does not have a GPS tracking system, there is after-market software you can buy.  Tracking devices often lead to your stolen device and lots of other stolen property.
5. Distracted Walking and Talking - Stay aware of your surroundings. Don't walk down the street talking on your phone or texting unaware of your environment or of people nearby. Thieves it when you do that, and while you talk, they grab.  Also, falling into a fountain or getting hit by a train is far worse than having your cell phone stolen. 
6. Hide and Go Eat - When eating in a restaurant (or relaxing in a public place), don't leave your phone on the table.  It's too easy for crooks to grab it and run.  Put it away and enjoy your meal.
7. Don't Delay: If your phone gets stolen, find another phone to use and call your local sheriff's or police station as soon as possible. Call now, don't wait until you arrive at your next destination.
8. Be a Good Witness:  If you see the suspect, don't try to get it back from the suspect. Use caution but try to get a good description of the suspect and vehicle (license number, color, and model) and the last known direction of travel. Write it down if you can and call the cops so we can get it back for you.  That's why we're here.

An attorney became the victim of robbery this weekend, while walking in the 43600 block of Sierra Vista Drive, Lancaster. At a quarter before 7:00 PM on Saturday, August 25, 2012, as the unsuspecting victim talked on his iPhone, he saw a man sitting in a truck parked on the same side of the street waive him over. The victim walked over to the suspect’s truck, a burgundy Chevrolet Silverado with paper plates, to see what he wanted.

DUI CHECKPOINT On Aug 13, 2012 In Bellflower From Bail Bondsman In Bellflower

DUI / DL Checkpoint Fri, Aug. 31 in Bellflower - LASD Deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Risk Management Bureau’s Traffic Services Detail will be conducting a DUI/DL Checkpoint on Friday, August 31, 2012, from 6 PM until approximately 1 AM. The checkpoint will be conducted in the City of Bellflower. In an effort to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol involved crashes, DUI checkpoints are conducted to identify offenders and get them off the street, as well as educate the public on the dangers of impaired driving. All too often, members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by impaired drivers. This DUI/CDL checkpoint is an effort to reduce those tragedies, as well as insuring drivers possess a valid driver’s license. A major component of these checkpoints is to increase awareness of the dangers or impaired driving and to encourage sober designated drivers. A DUI/CDL checkpoint is a proven effective method for achieving this goal. By publicizing these enforcement and education efforts, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department believes motorists can be deterred from drinking and driving. Traffic volume and weather permitting, all vehicles may be checked and drivers who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs will be arrested. Our objective is to send a clear message to those who are considering driving a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol and/or drugs – Drunk Driving, Over the Limit, Under Arrest. The public is encouraged to help keep roadways safe by calling 911 if they see a suspected impaired driver. Funding for this operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety administration.

Or if you wish to remain Anonymous, call “LA Crime Stoppers” by dialing 800-222-TIPS (8477), texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org SAFETY TIPS: The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (http://www.missingkids.com) offers the following safety tips for parents to discuss with their youngsters: Travel with a friend, or better yet, a group of friends when riding your bike or walking to or from school or other destinations. If a stranger offers you a ride somewhere, say no, and run away. Adults should define "stranger" and give safety tip examples to help youth, especially young ones, know what you mean. If someone follows you on foot, get away as quickly as you can. Go to someone's house you know, or run to other people, or just run away. If someone is following you in a car, turn around and go in the opposite direction or take a path where a car would not go. Never leave school or any other extracurricular activity or event with someone who makes you feel uncomfortable. Moms or dads should tell their youngster that it is okay in these circumstances to not ride home, but that also means adults should have an established communications method along with these safety tip guidelines so that the kid does not end up stranded or alone. If a stranger tells you that there is an emergency or that a family member is hurt or that a pet has been in an accident, always check with your mom or dad or other trusted adults. This is a common trick used by many molesters or kidnappers. For more information about safety tips contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department www.lasd.org , your local police or sheriff's station, or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at http://www.missingkids.com MORE SFAETY TIPS: Adults should establish "safe houses" where kids feel comfortable in knocking on their door at any time a situation warrants it. Be sure to get approval from the neighbors/homeowners first before designating a home as a "safe house." If possible, have a neighborhood safety tip meeting and have residents agree to watch after one another. Parents should be cautious about blatant use of a child's name on a back pack or jacket. Kids sometimes believe that a person can't be a stranger if they know them by name, when the reality is that their name was easily readable on their attire or the individual heard a youngster's name mentioned. Adults should understand that boys are at just as greatest of risk as girls. It is a common safety tip misconception that child molesters or perpetrators are typically men and seek only girls. Molesters come in all ages and both genders, and their victims can be of either sex. Parents should begin reinforcing these safety tips as soon as a kid is old enough to understand, and above all, ensure that their child feels comfortable enough in discussing these issues, their concerns or fears, or any potentially inappropriate events that have possibly transpired. Awareness of these safety tips can help kids be less susceptible to any stranger dangers.

All American Bail Bonds in Palmdale, Tips on Preventing Cell Phone Theft

Here at All American Bail Bonds we strive to always keep the public aware and safe and recently we received a disturbing report from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in Palmdale. The report that we received indicates that there as recently been an increase in cell phone thefts in and around the Palmdale Ca area. 

Because cell phones are now an everyday part of our lives, and most everyone carries one, criminals are finding it easier to steal them. With the popularity of smartphones in society today, people are storing more and more personal information on their devices. Once your device has been stolen, it is relatively easy for individuals to obtain this private information before clearing the memory and reselling the device. 

Detectives have found a few common denominators in relation to cell phone thefts and have provided the following safety tips which may reduce the likelihood of being a victim of cell phone theft. 

•Be aware of your surroundings. Do not walk down the street talking on your phone oblivious of your environment. Thieves are looking for victims who are distracted. 

•While in public, do not leave your phone unattended; put it away after use. 

•If you become a victim of a crime, call the police as soon as possible. Do not wait until you arrive at your destination. 

•Activate the GPS tracking system on your phone or other electronic device. If the device does not have a GPS tracking system, there is after-market software available. By having these applications installed on the devices, police personnel may locate the suspects and perhaps, recover your phone. 

•If you are a victim of a cell phone theft and see the suspect, do not attempt to recover your property. Attempt to secure a good description of the suspect and/or any involved vehicles (license number, color, and model) and the last known direction of travel. Let the Sheriff’s Department attempt to locate and arrests the person(s) responsible. 

•Use the security lock code, or PIN feature, to lock your phone. 

•Make a record of all your phone information, including serial number model and make, and keep this in a safe place. 

•Consider carefully what information you store on your cell phone. If it would create too big of a disaster if it fell into someone else's hands, don't store it. You may not prevent someone from taking your phone, but you can prevent them from accessing important information.

The following information was provided to our All American Bail Bonding staff in Santa Clarita 
while at a local Sheriff function. Due to an abnormally high increase of home robberies we provide this info to help educate people in the simple things they can do to prevent the theft of 
their personal property as well as harm to themselves and their loved ones.

While On Vacation: 

• Ask a family member or friend or hire a house sitter to live in your home

• Install an approved and monitored residential alarm system. 

• Park a neighbor’s car in your driveway. 

• Use timers on indoor lights to give the impression you are home.

Bright Ideas: 

• Install lights by all exterior doors. Use lights at night. 

• Install outside light fixtures where bulbs are hard to reach. 

• Illuminate house numbers for quick emergency services response. 


Doors & Windows: 

* Install good quality dead-bolts on your doors and USE THEM. 

• Change the locks when moving into a new residence. 

• Always lock your doors and windows. 

• Give your trusted neighbor / family member the spare key – Don’t hide it outside. 

• Use solid core or metal exterior doors. 

• Use dead bolt door locks on exterior doors and double cylinder dead bolt locks if glass is within 3 feet of the lock. 

• Add auxiliary track-type locks, removable drop bars, wooden dowels, or pinning devices to windows and sliding glass doors. 

• Upgrade locks to defeat bump keying. 

• Install peepholes on doors with 160 degree views so you don't have to open to door to see outside. 

• Use a locking mailbox. 

• Never leave notes for anyone on the door. 

• Keep your valuable personal information in a safe deposit box. 

Landscaping: 

• Trim tree branches 7 feet off the ground. 

• Prune shrubs to under 3 feet from the ground. 

• Use motion sensors and photocells on exterior floodlights. 

• Trim shrubs back from doors and windows. Don’t give burglars places to hide while they are breaking in. 

Dealing With Strangers: 

• Never let strangers enter your home. 

• Verify workers by identification cards and calling their employer.

Vehicle Smarts: 

• Close the garage door and cover windows so no one can see inside. 

• Hide the garage door opener from open view in your car. 

* Don't leave valuables like your purse or GPS in plain sight 

* A shopping bag may be empty but looks valuable, so burglars will break in to get that too.
