Torrance Bail Bonds FAQs:
A Bail Bond assures the court that the arrestee will appear for court as scheduled. A Licensed bail bondsman will issue a contract which guarantees the court that the full bail amount will be paid if the arrestee fail to appear to court. A licensed bondsman can do this because they are backed by an insurance company. Bail Bonds are also known as “surety Bonds.”
What exactly is a Bail Bond?
What happens to a person who is arrested depends mainly on the location they are arrested in because some regulations differ in different cities. However, usually the person will be taken for booking and processing at the local police station. The arrestee will then be finger printed and any personal property will be taken for safekeeping by an officer. Some inmates could remain in jail for up to 48 hours before they get to see a court commissioner. By law, the State of CA, must let an arrestee see a court commissioner in 24 hours for misdemeanors and 48 hours for felonies.
In order to set a bail amount, public safety must be taken into consideration, which means the more dangerous or severe the crime was the higher the bail amount will be. County bail will usually include the bail amount for each crime and extenuating circumstances.
