How to get out of Jail, by Posting Bail with a Professional Bail Bondsman or Posting Cash Bail,

When someone gets arrested it can be a very scary situation, for the person in jail as well as the family members or friends who want to help. The following is basic information to help the reader understand how bail works and why bailing out of jail is normally a wise decision.

When you are arrested you have two options

Option 1 Stay in jail

If you stay in jail you will be seen by the judge in usually no more than 48 hours not including weekends. There is always a chance that the judge will release you on your own recognance, otherwise known as O.R., if you qualify. Keep in mind when you go in front of the judge there is never a guarantee of an O.R. in fact there are situations when your bail maybe decreased or even increased.

Option 2 Bail Out

If you elect to bail out you have two options, option 1 for bailing out of jail would to be posting cash bond. Posting cash bond is when you bring the ENTIRE dollar amount of the bail to the jail or courthouse and once the person goes to court and completes all of his/her obligation to the court you will get that money back; after a small waiting period of 6 to 12 weeks.

If you elect to bail out using a professional bail bondsman then expect to put up ten percent of the overall bail, that money being nonrefundable. Also under many circumstances you may need to pledge property as collateral which will be held until the criminal case is completed or your bond is exonerated.

What happens when you don’t keep in touch with your Bail Bondsman.

The date is May 12, 2009 and I am Agent 1 with All American Bail Bonds in Lakewood CA., I am a fugitive recovery agent and it is my job tonight to pick up a dead beat who has failed to check in with his bail bondsman. The client in question who we will call Michael has been avoiding his bail bondsman for over two weeks, he happens to be a law student, of all things, at Chapman University in the Southern California. Michael being a law student is one of those cocky arrogant types. He thinks that his rudimentary understanding of the law puts him above it, we showed him otherwise. Michael was originally bailed out of the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s department on a $30,000 bond on April 12. We bailed him out on the premise that he would take care of his $3,000 financial responsibility with us through payment arrangements. We received a pink slip as collateral. Michael’s initial payment was due within 7 days of his release for $900 of which he ended up only paying $200. Michael promised to pay the remainder of the $900 within a couple days, which he failed to do. You see, what Michael was doing was stalling, he didn’t want to pay. It wasn’t that he didn’t have the money; it’s that he is a criminal. He was trying to stall long enough to get the bond exonerated, so that we the bail company could not enforce our authority and surrender him back into the custody of the Los Angeles county Sheriff’s Department. The bail bondsman in charge of what we call the blue customers is very familiar with this con. When we see this happening we explain to the client that if he can’t afford to pay that’s fine, but he needs to stay in constant communication. Failure to do so may result in the revocation of his bond. Michael being arrogant goes to court and tries to get his bond exonerated before we would find out. You see when Michael went to court he asked the judge to release him on his own recognance. Since he had no experience in a court room he failed to have his bond exonerated. Days are going by and Michael is avoiding our phone calls, so I go into action. We pick Michael up from his residence late one evening and surrender him back into custody of the Sheriff’s Department. Michael got to spend a couple days in jail while we repossesed his car, all part of a day’s work. In conclusion don’t avoid your bail bondsman.
We are a bail bonding company with offices in Lakewood Ca, Van Nuys Ca, Long Beach Ca, and Palmdale Ca. With bail bondsman throughout the Southern California. We have been writing bail for over ten years. If you have any further questions regarding bail please call 866-743-8688.

THE HISTORY OF BAIL

THE HISTORY OF BAIL SUMMERIZED
Modern bail as we Americans know it came from Medieval England, after the colonist declared independence they formulated their own policies which were very similar to what they had in England. Now as Americans the Eight Amendment of the Constitution of the United States is what guarantees us the right to bail. The Eight Amendment summed up is the following:
1. The Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause which restricts the severity of punishments that state and federal governments may impose upon persons who have been convicted of a criminal offense.
2. The Excessive Fines Clause limits the amount that state and federal governments may fine a person for a particular crime.
3. The Excessive Bail Clause restricts judicial discretion in setting bail for the release of persons accused of a criminal activity during the period following their arrest but preceding their trial.
For all of Colonial America the bail law remained the same that is up until 1966 when congress enacted the first major substantive change in federal bail law since 1789. The act of 1966 provides that a non-capital defendant "shall...be ordered released pending trial on his personal recognizance" or on personal bond unless the judicial officer determines that these incentives will not adequately assure his appearance at trial. ETC. The primary problems with the 1966 act were that potentially violent offenders who were released on their own recognizance, otherwise known as an O.R., committed additional criminal acts and then released again on nominal bail.
Now the modern bail law as we know it is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States but regulated by each individual state. As of this writing, of the fifty states in the Union only four do not have private bail industry. The four states that do not have a private bail industry are Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, and Oregon; these four states do still have bail law, but just conduct their bail through their local court system or law enforcement office. The remaining forty six states which have private bail industry regulate themselves through their respective Departments of Insurance’; these states are known as Surety Bail States.

A Day in the Life of a Bail Bondsman

-->The day is Thursday May 7^th, a beautiful sunny day in Southern California. My name is agent but you can call me bail bondsman.

I am a bail agent with All American Bail Bonds a bail bonding company based in the Los Angeles county and operating in the Southern California area; It is my job to see that our bail clients make it to their sentencing and if they don’t, than to see how we can get them back to court or back into handcuffs.

Now, the day started out normal, but something inside my gut just told me that it was going to turn into “just one of those days’. I was on my way to the courthouse in Murrieta, south Riverside County; for the sentencing of one of our clients who was out on $250,000 bail, not a tremendously large dollar amount, but large enough to put me on the job. I got into court around 8:30am and checked in with the bailiff, he notified me that my client had not checked in as of yet so I had seat and waited. At 9:00 still no client I notified my office and requested backup A.S.A.P., they sent me another agent, will call him agent 2. The agent got to the courthouse around 10:00 and still no client. At this time I notified the head office who put our head investigator on high alert; you see its not totally out of the ordinary for a client to be late to their sentencing, many get cold feet or just too hung over from the night before, but if the alert is on we want to get to him before it’s too late. At around 11:00 I got the call, we got a rabbit, and it was time to be more proactive, so agent 2 and I went down stairs to the clerk’s office for a certified copy of the bond and got ready for the chase. It was just before noon and I got a call from the head investigator who notified me that an anonymous source contacted the head office and notified them that the defendant was running to Mexico for a 2:45 flight. Now of course we can’t operate in Mexico, but if we get the heads up that a U.S. citizen is fleeing from justice to Mexico there are things we can do.

The chase is on, agent 2 and I rushed to the local Riverside office to remove any and all weapons from the car. You see normally here in California while conducting fugitive recovery we carry firearms, but in Mexico firearms are illegal and a single bullet can cost you a year in Mexican Jail. We got started on the hour trip to the Mexican border, so far so good. When we go south to the Tijuana airport we go through the smaller entrance just east of the main entrance, being that it is closer to the airport just makes it that much quicker. As we approach the entrance to Tijuana the time is 1:30pm and agent 2 and I are feeling confident that we will make it in time. Everything seems to be going as planned our head office has notified our Tijuana contacts and we have plenty of time before the flight. Here we are next in line, now pulling up to American Border Patrol who are checking vehicles that are leaving the US.

The Plot thickens; As I get to the officer at the border who asks the question, “Anything to Declare”!? I respond no sir, he says where are you guys off to today?, I respond the airport, he says okay just need to check your vehicle please, pull to the right and hang tight. “NO PROBLEM OFFICER”, I say! Now we are waiting in the car, officer walks up to my window and ask us both to get out of the car and go to the front of the vehicle, because they need to conduct a standard inspection. Four officers flock to my truck looking in the trunk , under the car, under the seats, pretty much everywhere you would expect, oh and of course the glove box!!! Let me tell you about the vehicle that I am driving it’s a newer model Chevy Tahoe very standard and shared by a few agents, nothing out of the ordinary.

Now back to the inspection; the officer gets to the glove box and it’s locked, of course to my surprise. I give the officer the key and step back to the front of the car. As she opens the glove box the look on her face changes from just whatever to WHATS THIS. You know that look on a cops face when they just found the bloody knife to a murder scene with the fingerprints all over it. Well she didn’t find a knife, instead she found a box of hollow point rounds, caliber 45, with a fully loaded magazine. To her that was the mother load. The S**T hits the fan. The time is now 2:00pm, we are quickly running out of time and it looks like we’re going to be late! Immediately they take my partner into custody no cuffs but he’s not free to go. They have me pull my vehicle into the Inspection area where they call it the vehicle molestation area and at this point I just need a cigarette.

Having those shells and loaded magazine is not illegal in the States, but extremely illegal in Mexico in fact it’s one year per bullet, in my case that would be 32 years in a Mexican jail. Their main concern on our side at the border is not those bullets in my car but what those bullets are for, the gun. I explain to the officers who I am and what I am doing crossing the border. I further explain to them that I share the vehicle with other agents and was unaware that he had left anything in the vehicle. We go back and forth like this for about 30 minutes and I think they are finally buying what I am selling. They seem to be easing up. Okay we missed it, it’s 3:00pm and we're still waiting as the officers go through every nook and cranny of the vehicle, they find nothing. At about 3:30pm the Supervisor in charge comes to me and says everything looks good just one more thing they need to do before we can go, is give us a hefty fine. At this point now it doesn’t even matter, we missed the flight. The officers allow us to grab our cell phones from the car so we can get in contact with our office and report the situation, I do so. It’s around 4:00pm and the officer with the final say so comes to the vehicle to give us his okay. He’s about 85 pounds and has four legs with a nose for weapons and cash. That’s right it’s a dog. The entire time I come to find out they were waiting for the dog that sniffs out money and firearms, they walk him through the vehicle and of course they find nothing. Well after all that the supervisor comes back out and says were free to go, no fine not reprimand, the dog gave us the okay! All in all it was an interesting experience, the officers were cool guys and we learned a lot about how things are done at the border. Would I want to do it again?, no but I figure it can’t get any worse.

Story goes on……. Agent 2 and I decide to continue on with the mission and to go to the airport to see what Intel we can get. We make it to the airport and come to find out that the defendant never made it on the flight that we expected, all that and he never boarded. At this point now were feeling pretty done, Agent 2 and I are feeling like we’ve earned some beers and tacos so we decide to go to downtown Tijuana.

I guess the point of this story is when going to Mexico make sure you remove anything and everything from your vehicle that is illegal in Mexico or better yet just park on the U.S. side and walk across. Hell taxis are cheap and it’s a lot less headaches. .
