What Happens After You Have Been Arrested?
When you are arrested, you get taken to the city jail. There, they take your fingerprints and photograph, and document your belongings. After that is done, you are assigned a cell and an arraignment date. During this arraignment, you will face a judge who will tell you what you have been convicted of and if you qualify for bail.
A few factors influence your ability to qualify for bail. Some of these include the severity of the crime, your criminal record, and if you’re a flight risk. If you have committed a misdemeanor, have a clean record in the past, and have strong community ties (have an established job), then you might be eligible for bail. If the judge grants you it, get in touch with ABC Bail Bonds right away.
What Is a Bail Bond?
A bail bond allows a defendant to leave jail until their court date. A judge decides a certain amount that needs to be paid upfront which is called the bail amount. Once the defendant has paid it, they are released from jail for the time being. A judge only accepts cash or a bail bond. Most people don’t have thousands of dollars lying around to pay upfront. However, with just 10% of the bail amount, you can secure a bail bond and post bail quickly.
A bail bond is like a contract that holds you responsible for showing up to all your court dates and trial. Your bondsman is representing you and responsible for having you appear. If you don’t show up to court, you will owe the full bail amount plus fees.
