Burbank Jail Closed for Construction
Finding an arrested person is typically a straightforward process. For the most part, all you need to do is find out where the person was arrested, and then head for the closest jail. In rare cases, the person may be taken to the larger Los Angeles County Jail for holding, but that usually warrants extenuating circumstances.But not in Burbank. People arrested in Burbank, at least for the foreseeable future, will be taking a longer ride in the back of the police car.

Bail Bonds Varieties: Cash Bonds, Surety Bonds, and Property Bonds
Friend or family member been arrested?
Need information on how bail works or how to pay for bail bonds?
Luckily for you, 1-800-BAIL-BOND has been in the Los Angeles bail bonds business for over a decade, so we can assist you with any questions.
This week, we will explain the difference between the various types of bail bonds that exist, namely cash bonds, surety bonds, and property bonds.
After an arrest, the defendant goes through a booking process which includes appearing before a judge, who sets the bail cost. If the person doing the bailing has the full amount in cash, that person can forgo using a bail bonds business and pay the entire cash bond to the court.
The advantage of using a cash bond is that the bailer will be compensated the whole amount at the conclusion of the trial, regardless of the verdict.
The downside is that the bail is usually quite high and court cases can drag along. The average person cannot afford to have that much money tied up for so long. This is where surety bonds play a huge role.
Because they are assured a return of the full amount at the conclusion of the trial, as long as the defendant attends all court dates. So the 10% is pure profit.The disadvantage versus a cash bond is that surety bonds require you to pay 10%, whereas cash bonds end up being free.
Conversely, the easy thing about surety bonds is that your money is not tied up in the bail cost, waiting for the trial. This allows you to have extra funds for a defense attorney and other court costs.
Should the arrestee fail to appear before the judge or flees the state, the court may foreclose on the property to obtain the full cost of bail.

This week, we will explain the difference between the various types of bail bonds that exist, namely cash bonds, surety bonds, and property bonds.
Cash Bonds
The most basic of the three, cash bonds do not require a bail bondsman at all. Instead, they are negotiated through the court.After an arrest, the defendant goes through a booking process which includes appearing before a judge, who sets the bail cost. If the person doing the bailing has the full amount in cash, that person can forgo using a bail bonds business and pay the entire cash bond to the court.
The advantage of using a cash bond is that the bailer will be compensated the whole amount at the conclusion of the trial, regardless of the verdict.
The downside is that the bail is usually quite high and court cases can drag along. The average person cannot afford to have that much money tied up for so long. This is where surety bonds play a huge role.
What are Surety Bonds?
Surety bonds are posted by a reputable, licensed bail bonds agent, who provides the cash in exchange for a 10% fee, which is non-refundable. Why would bail bonds businesses pay 90% of the cash bond?Because they are assured a return of the full amount at the conclusion of the trial, as long as the defendant attends all court dates. So the 10% is pure profit.The disadvantage versus a cash bond is that surety bonds require you to pay 10%, whereas cash bonds end up being free.
Conversely, the easy thing about surety bonds is that your money is not tied up in the bail cost, waiting for the trial. This allows you to have extra funds for a defense attorney and other court costs.
Property Bonds
Property bonds are similar to cash bonds, but are more seldom used. Rather than pay the court the entire amount in cash, they will allow for some property to be used as collateral for release.Should the arrestee fail to appear before the judge or flees the state, the court may foreclose on the property to obtain the full cost of bail.

Lindsay Lohan Legal Roller Coaster Continues
Hollywood’s favorite celebrity jailbird is back at it. Again. If you have your head in the sand, or if you’re like me and start getting a ringing migraine whenever Miss Lohan’s name is mentioned, then you may not be informed about the exciting week she is currently having.
Still serving punishment following a pair of DUI arrests a few years ago and the theft of a necklace from early 2011, on October 19th Lindsay, of Parent Trap and Mean Girls fame (and nothing else remotely worthwhile), was sent to jail for failing to fulfill the terms of her probation which required her to perform community service. She was released on Los Angeles bail bonds that were set at $100,000 the same day.As if answering the critics who believe her latest arrest was merely a publicity stunt, Lindsay announced on Monday that she completed a nude spread for Playboy Magazine that afternoon. Paparazzi snapped photographs of her leaving the Playboy Mansion, where her mother Dina said the shoot was successful. I just hope the magazine shows her wearing nothing but handcuffs.
If getting arrested, bailed out, and taking naked pictures wasn’t enough excitement for the young starlet (term used loosely), Lohan also began her community service to make up for the community service she previously missed (is that like an interest rate?) on Tuesday and Wednesday.
AT A MORGUE!!!
In some cruel Halloween-inspired twist of fate (or justice) Lohan has to work at the Los Angeles County Morgue. Sppppooooooookkkkkkyyyyyyy!
Well, at the end of the day I hope Lindsay Lohan learns her lesson and becomes the Leading Lady with the marvelous movie career that America envisioned her having as a teen star, and then we meet at a bar and exchange numbers and get married in Vegas. Which might be even odds with her burning out and being found OD’d by a maid in a hotel bathroom.
Let this be a lesson to all of the kid actors and the parents who push them.
Los Angeles Bail Bondsman
While Lohan has $100,000 to spare on paying Hollywood bail bonds, or will after that Playboy check clears, most people do not have that much expendable income. If you get arrested, contact a Los Angeles bail bondsman to discuss financing options and get your loved one bailed out as soon as possible.For more information on bail bonds in Los Angeles, visit our Blog, like this one about Bail Enforcement.

California Bail Bonds
Although the bail bonds business is fairly regulated throughout the United States, each individual state is allowed to create its own laws. For example, Illinois, Oregon, Kentucky, and Wisconsin have completely banned the practice of using bail bonds and instead require a 10% cash deposit.
California law, like many other states, requires that bail bonds companies charge exactly 10% of the total bail. This figure is non-negotiable and cannot be lowered or raised.

Los Angeles Bail Enforcement
When people get arrested and taken to Los Angeles County jails, they usually have to get released by a bail bondsman. This is because it is substantially less money to hire a bondsman, when you only have to pay 10% of the bond plus provide collateral for the remainder, rather than having the full amount up front.
What is often not talked about, or is only glossed over, is the Los Angeles bail enforcement when the arrested person skips his trial and flees. In this scenario, it becomes necessary for the bail bonds company to track down the suspect in order to retrieve the money they could lose.

FBI Informant Caught with Cell Phone in Los Angeles County Jail in Sting Operation
Ever wonder what it is like to be inside an LA County jail? Well, apparently FBI does.
FBI agents managed to sneak a cell phone into the Los Angeles County jail cell of an inmate in order for him to report what took place inside. These are the nation’s largest jail system and are notorious for inmate beatings and deputy misconduct, although the allegations have proven difficult to confirm. There have also been reports of riots, killings, formation of gangs, and outdated facilities. It appears the FBI could no longer stand by idly allowing these human rights violations to occur.

How Bail Works
Bailing someone out of jail is a fairly standard process, involving the release of an arrestee in exchange for money. This payment can be thought of as “insurance” that the defendant will attend every court date. Trials often take weeks or months, sometimes even years, to work their way through the judicial system and reach a conclusion, so bail allows the arrested person to live freely and await trial from home under the Constitutional Right of being innocent until proven guilty.

History of Bail Bonds
Today, bail bonds in Los Angeles are the common means to release an arrestee from a jail, sheriff’s station or holding facility. But how did the tradition of using bail bonds get started in the first place? Here is a primer on how bail evolved into its current state.
The original concept of bail bonds dates back to medieval English law. Sheriffs had sovereign authority to hold or release prisoners for whatever reason and for however long they determined necessary. The sheriffs often exploited this power by charging outrageously high bail bonds.
Created to protect the rights of prisoners, the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 states, “A Magistrate shall discharge prisoners from their Imprisonment taking their Recognizance, with one or more Surety or Sureties, in any Sum according to the Magistrate's discretion, unless it shall appear that the Party is committed for such Matter or offences for which by law the Prisoner is not bailable.” This essentially guarantees subjects the right to have bail and be released after an arrest.
Later in 1689, the English Bill of Rights granted the right to increase the amount of bail depending on the severity of the crime, but also allowed less extreme criminal actions to warrant a reasonable, non-excessive bail amount. It also protected against cruel and unusual punishments. Both of these provisions would be adopted into the US Constitution’s 8th Amendment.
Likewise, the indemnitor, or person who signed the Los Angeles bail bond, is responsible for the full monetary amount should the defendant jump bail. This enforces responsibility to the indemnitor and defendant to attend all court dates.

European Bail Bonds
The origin of the bail bonds concept dates back to ancient Greece, where “Bajulus” (or bearers) were charged with upholding the laws. The word “bajulus” later changed to mean “protector” in Italian.The original concept of bail bonds dates back to medieval English law. Sheriffs had sovereign authority to hold or release prisoners for whatever reason and for however long they determined necessary. The sheriffs often exploited this power by charging outrageously high bail bonds.

It also protected against cruel and unusual punishments. Both of these provisions would be adopted into the US Constitution’s 8th Amendment.
Modern Bail Bonds
Today, the purpose of United States and California bail bonds is to prevent jails from overcrowding and arrested people from fleeing after getting released. By allowing suspects to get out of jail, continue their normal lives, and prepare their defense, jails do not risk becoming too full for further criminals.Likewise, the indemnitor, or person who signed the Los Angeles bail bond, is responsible for the full monetary amount should the defendant jump bail. This enforces responsibility to the indemnitor and defendant to attend all court dates.

DUI Bail Bonds in Los Angeles
A DUI, or a citation for driving under the influence, is a serious charge. Whether you are slightly above the legal limit or far surpassing it, you put yourself and other drivers at risk by driving while impaired. Police rarely show pity on offenders of this crime as they knowingly disobey the law by refusing to use a designated driver or pay a taxi driver to get them home. For this reason, many people are arrested and held for DUI bail bonds in Los Angeles every year. Don’t be one of the people who find themselves in this quandary, call 1-800-BAIL-BOND for a Los Angeles bail bonds business that specializes in DUI bail bonds.
First of all, you have the right to refuse a breathalyzer until you get to the police station. This means if you are at all worried about blowing above the legal limit of 0.08, have the police take you into the local Los Angeles County jail, which might give you enough time to sober up.
Likewise, if you do blow above the legal limit for the field test, know that the breathalyzer in the police car is not an official measure of intoxication and you have the right to an additional test back at the police station. If that breathalyzer shows your blood alcohol content (BAC) to be under the legal limit (>0.08) then your charges may be dismissed.
1-800-BAIL-BOND has been posting DUI bail bonds in Los Angeles for years, so we can provide references for attorneys who deal specifically with DUI cases. Just ask us for a list of names and numbers while we are posting your DUI bail bonds and we will gladly provide it.

An attorney, especially one who specializes in DUI cases, can give you some advice during a free consultation. The lawyer may even be able to reduce or completely remove the charges against you, so it is definitely worth the time to get a consult.1-800-BAIL-BOND has been posting DUI bail bonds in Los Angeles for years, so we can provide references for attorneys who deal specifically with DUI cases.

Los Angeles Bail Bondsman Answers Your Questions
When you get arrested and put in jail waiting for a Los Angeles bail bondsman to post bail, you’ll probably be sitting on that cold, hard bench with a million questions swimming through your head. How much will this cost? What happens now? Do I need an attorney?
Why not just ask your Los Angeles bail bondsman?
Honestly, we have been in this business for a LONG time, and we can answer most any quandary you might have. If your bondsman is honorable, like the ones at 1-800-BAIL-BOND, then he or she will gladly supply you with answers and advice on how to proceed with your arrest after posting your bail bonds in Los Angeles.
Here are a few of the common questions we get, along with our expertise on the subject:
Question: Is there any way to get cheaper bail?
Short Answer: Not usually.
Long Answer: The State of California determines that Los Angeles bail bonds businesses must charge exactly 10% of the total price of the bond to bail out an arrestee. This number cannot be higher or lower.
That being said, there are some very rare cases that allow us to give 5% bail. These include special status due to military service, the nature of your particular charge, in situations where certain types of legal counsel are sought, or for other extenuating circumstances. You will need to specifically ask us if you believe you qualify for one of these scenarios.
Question: Do I need to hire an attorney?
Short Answer: It depends on the crime, circumstance, and whether you’re planning to plead guilty.
Long Answer: For a serious crime, you should strongly consider hiring an attorney. They can help you out of a lot of situations you could otherwise not handle. They have knowledge of the law that can only be acquired through law school, and will use this to defend your rights.
If you plan to plead guilty, you may not need a lawyer. You will just admit guilt before a judge and accept your punishment. But you should at least receive a free consult with an attorney, because they may be able to get you a reduced sentence or find a way to prove your innocence.
Remember, your Los Angeles bail bondsman should have plenty of connections with attorneys, so ask us for references.
Question: What happens now? Is my life over?
Short Answer: No.
Long Answer: Plenty of people get arrested each year and they go on to live perfectly normal lives. As long as you didn’t commit a serious crime that includes major jail time, your life will basically continue as normal.
The most important thing you need to do is attend every court date. If you skip out on your trial, you will only face harsher punishment. But after you’re released on bail bonds in Los Angeles, you’ll be able to continue your life as normal until sentencing. Relax, breathe, and make plans to establish the next few weeks leading up to your trial.
Hopefully this helped you get an understanding of what happens after an arrest. And remember, if you have any further questions, contact us online or call 1-800-BAIL-BOND with further questions.

The most typical is immediately following an arrest, after the arrestee finishes the booking process and has the bail determined by a judge.

While this is the most common scenario, here are a few other situations where you can contact a Los Angeles bail bonds business.
Posting Bail on Warrants
Don’t wait until the individual gets taken into police custody and booked! Call a bail bondsman to have the bond ready ahead of time. Los Angeles bail bonds businesses can post a bond to the court for a warrant as long as the amount is bondable. You can even bail yourself out, without needing to drag an additional person to be the indemnitor if you meet the proper qualifications.Out of Custody Bonds
Occasionally, when you show up for your initial court appearance, the judge will ask for a bond. At this point, ask for a temporary release to get the bond, or have your Los Angeles bail bondsman on hand in the courtroom to immediately post bail.Contact a Los Angeles Bail Bondsman
If a loved one has just been arrested, don’t waste time contacting a Los Angeles bail bondsman. The quicker you act, the faster that person can get released and start focusing on the trial process that awaits him.Additional Information

Bail Bonds Tips: How To Select a Bail Bondsman
Choosing a bail bonds company can seem like a difficult task after you get word of a loved one being held in jail. There are many companies to choose from— especially in major cities, where bail bonds are a necessary part of the legal system, so there’s a large demand for bail bonds companies in many municipalities.
What to do When Arrested: Key Bail Bonds Terms
An arrest can completely shake up your world. Whether it’s a family member or friend who needs your help, there are some fairly stressful processes you’ll have to go through in choosing a bail bonds business and seeing the arrested person through the release process.
While researching who to choose as your bail bondsman and how to get your loved on freed, you should be aware of some common terms you’re likely to hear along the way.
Here are a few definitions to help you get the ball rolling to better understand the intricacies of the bail bonds process.
Bail: Bail itself is defined as the price for release of an arrested person from jail. The actual dollar amount is derived from several factors that judges will take into consideration. Bail prevents prison overcrowding, to a certain extent, but more accurately, it protects the basic rights of American citizens who are deemed “innocent until proven guilty,” allowing for their release from custody until a formal trial is held that will determine whether they serve a real sentence.
Bail Bond: Bail bonds are actual payments or promises of payment posted by a bail bondsman and backed by an insurance company for the release of a suspect from Los Angeles county jail. Bail money is returned or excused by the courts if the defendant appears to all scheduled dates.
Bail Bondsman: Bail bonds in Los Angeles have to be posted by agents who are licensed by the State Department of Insurance. Bail bondsmen will be familiar with all necessary paperwork and steps in the booking and releasing process. For their services and the risks they assume, they are awarded a percentage of the total bail as a fee, which is determined by the state of arrest.
Cash Bond: If a person can afford to pay their total bail cost, oftentimes in the tens thousand dollars range, they may do so without the assistance of a bail bondsman as long as they can pay in cash or by cahier’s check and prove their funds were obtained legally. This full amount will be returned to the bond signer at the conclusion of the trial if the defendant did not miss a trial date.
Indemnitor: The person responsible for initiating the bail bond. This person signs and pays for a bail bond to aid with the release of a loved one, and assumes some of the financial responsibility should the defendant fail to appear in court.

Here are a few definitions to help you get the ball rolling to better understand the intricacies of the bail bonds process.
Bail: Bail itself is defined as the price for release of an arrested person from jail. The actual dollar amount is derived from several factors that judges will take into consideration. Bail prevents prison overcrowding, to a certain extent, but more accurately, it protects the basic rights of American citizens who are deemed “innocent until proven guilty,” allowing for their release from custody until a formal trial is held that will determine whether they serve a real sentence.
Bail Bond: Bail bonds are actual payments or promises of payment posted by a bail bondsman and backed by an insurance company for the release of a suspect from Los Angeles county jail. Bail money is returned or excused by the courts if the defendant appears to all scheduled dates.
Bail Bondsman: Bail bonds in Los Angeles have to be posted by agents who are licensed by the State Department of Insurance. Bail bondsmen will be familiar with all necessary paperwork and steps in the booking and releasing process. For their services and the risks they assume, they are awarded a percentage of the total bail as a fee, which is determined by the state of arrest.
Cash Bond: If a person can afford to pay their total bail cost, oftentimes in the tens thousand dollars range, they may do so without the assistance of a bail bondsman as long as they can pay in cash or by cahier’s check and prove their funds were obtained legally. This full amount will be returned to the bond signer at the conclusion of the trial if the defendant did not miss a trial date.
Indemnitor: The person responsible for initiating the bail bond. This person signs and pays for a bail bond to aid with the release of a loved one, and assumes some of the financial responsibility should the defendant fail to appear in court.

Bail Bonds Basics: Learning the Ropes
It is not an easy phone call when you receive word that a friend or loved one has gotten in trouble with the law and needs the help of a bail bonds company to get released.
Most of us do not ever deal with this situation more than a time or two in our lives (thankfully), so it’s important that if happens to you, take some appropriate steps that will minimize the stress related to the incident, free your loved one as quickly as possible and expedite the legal process that you will have to face in order to put the incident behind you.
Understanding Bail
It is of utmost importance to contact a Los Angeles bail bondsman as soon as you have received word of the arrest. In Los Angeles, bail bonds are a necessary part of the arrest process, and thus highly regulated in terms of price and services.
Choose a bail bonds company that you trust to get your loved one free quickly and efficiently. Location will usually be the determining factor when considering various bail bonds companies. Find a nearby bondsman or one willing to travel to your location.
Know the Legal Bail Fee
State regulations determine the fee that bail bondsmen are allowed to collect for their services, usually a percentage. In California, for example, the bail fee is 10% of the entire bail cost. Find out what the bail fee is so you receive a fair and legal charge for the bail bonds services.
This includes financing charges, so if any company is attempting to manipulate the pricing of your case, it’s probably best to thank them and quickly move on to the next number you can find.
Posting Bail
All bail monies are freed from the responsibility of the defendant if a bail bonds company is used and they attend all of their scheduled court appearances. The only money that will not be returned is the bail fee kept by the bail bonds company.
Courts are rather unforgiving of instances where defendants fail to appear as they are very costly to the State. Missing a court appearance could even cause you to forfeit some of your rights or lead to financial or jail time penalties.
Bail bonds companies usually accept all kinds of payment for their services, including credit cards, cash, checks or payment plan options. If one company is giving you a hard time about financing options, stick to your guns as it is common for almost any company to offer them as a way of staying competitive with the competition.
Knowing Responsibilities as an Indemnitor
Being an indemnitor means that you are signing or paying for a bail bonds service on behalf of another person. Be certain you trust the person arrested enough to get in this position. As an indemnitor, you are not just paying for a person’s release form jail, but accepting financial responsibilities for their total bail amount should they fail to appear in court or flee.
Having copies of their initial court appearance information and making sure they attend will help them stay out of additional trouble and free you of any financial burdens associated with their case.

Qualifying for Bail Bonds
If you’ve gotten word that your loved one or family member has gotten into trouble with the law, the last thing you want to worry about are expenses. Unfortunately, bail bonds are the first things you’ll actually need to deal with in order to get your loved one released from prison and in a position to move forward.
In most states, bail amounts are set extremely high. Even the legally-set 10% fee to your bail bonds agent can often exceed a few thousand dollars. If paying for your bail bondsman will be difficult for you, here are some tips about common financing options and actually qualifying for bail through a bondsman.
Determine the Total Cost
Determining the total cost for your bail bonds services is easy. The amount owed to a bail bonds company cannot fluctuate. Rather, it’s set by the State Department of Insurance. For example, in California it is set at 10% of the total bail amount determined by the judge. The bail bonds business is not permitted legally to alter the price of a bail bond.
This works to your advantage because interest charges cannot be tacked onto bail bonds fees either. While most bail bonds companies will require payment in full up front for their services, most will also offer some type of financing options or payment plans in order to stay competitive with other companies in the area.
Qualifying for a Financing Plan
Most bail bonds companies will require a credit check in order to finance a potential client. A good credit score assures the bondsman that a client is diligent in paying bills on time and can afford his or her services.
Some will even request using a house or other assets as collateral in order to release your loved one. If you don’t think you will qualify for bail financing, consider obtaining another family member or friend as a co-signer. Then that person provides additional collateral, guaranteeing the Los Angeles bail bondsman he will not lose money if the defendant flees.
More Qualifying Factors
Again, the two main things most companies will take into consideration are home ownership and credit history. For non-homeowners, many bail bondsmen will also consider employment status, length of residency, arrest history and crime severity for consideration when determining whether you qualify for bail services and financing plans. The bail business wants to earn its bail cost fee so it will not be too discerning, but it will also not take on a shady client. Speak to a Los Angeles bail bondsman for more details.

After Arrest: The Post Arrest Process
When an individual is charged with a crime, after arrest the bail bonds process is key to re-obtaining freedom. Once out of jail, the defendant will be upset and worried for the future. You may have an idea of what to do in order to get bailed out of jail, but what happens after you’re released?
There are a few things you’ll need to do in order to ensure the full bail amount is returned by the courts, as well as here are a few things to consider that will help get your life back on track.
There are a few things you’ll need to do in order to ensure the full bail amount is returned by the courts, as well as here are a few things to consider that will help get your life back on track.
Rights When Arrested: Know your Rights
Getting arrested can be a life-changing experience and getting through the bail bonds process is only a start—once you get released, there are many responsibilities you will have to deal with your legal issues and recapture control of your life.
Along the way, there are many processes and some bureaucracy you’ll have to get through in order to get back on your feet. Many of these processes, however, are actually in place to protect your inalienable rights as an American citizen.
Here is a list of a few of your inherent rights that can help you deal with the overall process.
The Right to Fair Bail
The very purpose of bail bonds in America is to allow the release of prisoners who may not be guilty. Trials are lengthy and can take months to actually occur in a court of law. In order to prevent the loss of employment or neglect of family responsibilities, bail exists to allow all arrested citizens to tend to their personal business and adequately prepare for their trial. Plus, this prevents the overcrowding of Los Angeles county jails.
A bail bonds company will alleviate this process by covering your entire bail amount. Ensure your financial responsibilities are minimized by appearing to all court dates after you have paid your bail bondsman their 10% fee.
The Right To Know Your Charges
It’s against the law for authorities to hold American citizens without a legitimate legal reason. This is simply a basic constitutional right guaranteed to all citizens. You should have what you are charged with in writing, together with your documentation related to assigned court dates or appearances before a judge.
The Right To an Attorney
We all know the “you have the right to remain silent…” line made famous by TV cop dramas, but a key phrase in that spiel includes the right to an attorney. While you may benefit more from hiring an attorney, not everyone has the means to do so. If you’ve spent most or all of your available funds on your bail bonds company, you can get an attorney appointed to you for free in the form of a public defender.
The Right to Due Process
Be sure you are presented with all proper documentation related to your charges and that you have all your scheduled court appearances in writing. As long as you attend your court dates, you will be given a fair trial and due process of law. If you skip multiple court dates, you will not be refunded your bail cost, you will be seen as a fugitive, and the Los Angeles bail bondsman may send a bail enforcement agent out to track you down and return you to custody. This is why it is crucial to attend all court dates.

Los Angeles Bail Bonds Info: Bail Forms
In Los Angeles, bail bonds and the bail bond process stays pretty consistent with the processes established throughout California by the CA Department of Insurance.
When it comes to common arrests for petty crimes, the Los Angeles bail bonds process will only really vary based on the location of the arrest. While the actual bail bonds process remains the same, wait times for release will vary, depending on if the arrestee is being held at a local city jail within a police station or has been transferred to an LA county jail. Wait times can also vary based on how busy the particular police station or jail is and how the staff is being utilized that particular day.
For the most part, bail cost and other details will remain constant. But there are instances throughout the state of California where the bail process will differ in ways that aren’t contingent on the particular location of arrest. Here are 7 different bail forms that vary slightly depending on the actual crime a suspect is charged with and the nature of their citizenship.
Forms of Bail
Citation Release: A citation release, oftentimes called a “cite-out” is an extremely simple form of bail that requires no financial exchange., and rarely involves a defendant taken into custody. Officers provide a citation to the arrestee that has an official court date listed. The appearance of the defendant is purely up to the integrity of he or she cited as no financial burden is imposed, but arrest warrants and additional fines for failure to appear may be issued if the defendant does not attend court.
Surety Bond: A surety bond essentially describes the function of a bail bonds company. A bail bonds company or other licensed third party becomes the indemnitor of the suspect’s total bail amount, meaning they legally take on responsibility for the total amount. A fee is charged for the service that the third party or bail bonds company keeps. In Los Angeles, bail bonds fees are set at 10% of the total bail.
Recognizance: This term is used in rare cases where judges agree to waive bail fees for suspects who pledge to attend all of their scheduled court dates. This is usually reserved for higher-profile cases, cases involving public figures, or cases that present extenuating circumstances to a judge that show the defendant presents little or no risk of flight.
Property Bond: A property bond occurs when a defendant acts on his or her own behalf, presenting real property as collateral for their total bail amount. Under this circumstance, the State becomes authorized to forclose on the defendant’s property if they forfeit bail by failing to appear in court.
Immigration Bond: This is a specific bail situation that occurs when an arrested defendant is determined to be an illegal immigrant to the U.S. This is a Federal bail bond that is usually dealt with directly with the Department of Homeland Security or the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Cash Bond: A cash bond occurs when a defendant can either fund their own bail amount with cash proven to be obtained by legal means. It can also be a court-ordered form of bail, giving the arrestee extra incentive to attend trial. 10% cash bonds occur in some locations as well, where defendants are permitted to pay the courts a 10% cash deposit on their bail instead of utilizing a bail bonds company.

LA Bail Bonds: Should I Leave Someone in Jail?
One common threat that most children receive when they are young is, “If you end up in jail, you had better get comfortable because you will be spending the night there.” This threat is generally given by a concerned parent who does not want his or her child to break the law. Most of the time, they don’t actually believe the child will do something bad enough that it warrants an arrest, but they give the warning nonetheless, in order to scare their child into acting sensibly and making smart decisions. But, what if your child actually did get arrested? Is it important to maintain the validity of the threat and leave the individual in jail for the night?Leaving Someone in Jail
If you ever have to make the decision about whether or not to leave someone in jail, the answer is simple: bail them out. Jails are horrible places, even for a single night. It might not be as terrible as the prisons in popular entertainment like Oz or The Shawshank Redemption, but they are still miserable. It is one thing to threaten to leave a child in jail; it is another entirely to follow through on the warning.
Ask Your Bail Bondsman
If you are still not convinced that a little tough love is not best for your child, ask a bail bondsman for his opinion on the matter. They will very quickly, and very forcibly, convince you to bail the child out immediately. Sure, they want your business, but they also spend a fair amount of time around Los Angeles county jails and deal with the legal system almost every day, so they know how brutal it can be.
Teaching Your Child a Lesson
After all this precaution, you still may feel the need to teach your son or daughter a lesson. Obviously, if you are in the position to make that decision, they have done something really bad that has angered you. Coupled with the stress of receiving a phone call asking for Los Angeles bail bonds, it is no wonder you are upset enough to consider this option. But take some time to breath and calm down before making a hasty decision.
All of the additional punishments that accompany an arrest should be harsh enough to ensure that your child does not repeat his or her mistake. Among these punishments are: the processing, where the arrestee is fingerprinted and entered into the national database, the pricey bail bonds cost, the trial- which is also very expensive, and the possibility of further time behind bars if convicted. Plus, you can supply further penalty in far less brutal ways, like grounding the kid or community service. And all of this comes with the shame of explaining to friends and family what happened.
Conclusion: Empty Threat
Although it works as an excellent deterrent to keep your child on the straight and narrow, it is not worth following through on this threat, especially if it is a first offense. Instead, find a bail bondsman who can work fast and meet you at the jail as soon as possible to begin the bailing process. You will not regret making the decision to be a little less stringent on this occasion.

Released on Bail Bonds: Personal Privacy
There was a time when getting arrested and released on bail bonds could be a private matter, shared only with family and close friends. With today’s technology, that is slowly becoming the way of the past. Celebrities were the first to witness this sensation, with paparazzo able to snap their photos or film footage as they got arrested and then obtain case details and mug shots after arrest. Even then, the only ways to spread these forms of media was via television or print. Now, with the internet, news stories, both good and bad, can be spread worldwide in a matter of instants.
Most people do not fall into the realm of “celebrity,” for better or worse. But that does not protect us from someone snapping an arrest photo on their cell phone, posting it on the web, and further sharing it on social media websites. Although you may seem powerless following an arrest and release on bail bonds, there are steps to take in order to prevent having even worse public exposure and humiliation. Here are some methods by which you can retain a sense of secrecy to your disgrace.
1) Contain the Initial News
The first thing to do following an arrest is ensure that nobody in your family shares the news of your arrest. Every family has that nosy aunt or loud-mouth brother. Keep the information from those people as long as possible, at least until you are out of jail and can personally deal with it. The more it gets spread, the easier it will be for someone to locate you and take a picture as you are leaving the holding facility, thus spreading your shame.
2) Hire a Professional Bail Bondsman
Some states have very loose laws to become a bail bondsman; meaning just about anyone can do it. It is best to hire a Los Angeles bail bondsman that has been in business and serving the community for a long time. This way, you are more likely to get someone who is trustworthy and confidential to handle your affairs. Plus, this person won’t call the media if you are a celebrity.
3) Get Out of Jail Fast
Along with the previous step, ensure that the bail bondsman can quickly post your bail bond cost. If he is taking his time and dragging his feet, find another bail bonds services. The longer you’re in jail, the more time you have to be discovered. Plus, you want to get free to control the potential damage.
4) Honestly Consult Your Family
Once you are free, the worst thing to do would be to attempt to hide the whole situation. If you do, there is an increased chance that it will become a bigger deal when it is exposed. Instead, openly discuss what happened. That way, friends, family, and loved ones will be on your side, rather than against you. If the truth does slip onto the internet, they will even be able to defend you.
Getting arrested is a horrible event for everyone involved, but with wise decision making, you will survive.

Along with the previous step, ensure that the bail bondsman can quickly post your bail bond cost. If he is taking his time and dragging his feet, find another bail bonds services. The longer you’re in jail, the more time you have to be discovered. Plus, you want to get free to control the potential damage.
4) Honestly Consult Your Family
Once you are free, the worst thing to do would be to attempt to hide the whole situation. If you do, there is an increased chance that it will become a bigger deal when it is exposed. Instead, openly discuss what happened. That way, friends, family, and loved ones will be on your side, rather than against you. If the truth does slip onto the internet, they will even be able to defend you.
Getting arrested is a horrible event for everyone involved, but with wise decision making, you will survive.

Bail Process: Questions to Ask a Los Angeles Bail Bondsman
The bail process is something that most people aren’t extremely familiar with, but it is actually a fairly simple process designed to protect the rights of arrestees to a fair trial for their alleged crime.
The bail bonds industry as a whole exists in a couple different avenues throughout the United States—federal crimes carry their own bail bonds regulations while State crimes have a bail process that can vary slightly depending on local laws.
Bail Bonds in Los Angeles
For the most part, California bail bonds work the same way regardless of location, though the bail process may be affected logistically depending on what type of holding facility your loved one is at, as well as the crime they are being charged with. If you’re looking for Los Angeles bail info, here are a few questions to ask a Los Angeles bail bondsman before agreeing to pay for their services.
Bail Cost
While it may seem obvious that a customer would want to know how much bail bonds services cost, there’s actually a very important reason to do so that you may not be aware of.
The California department of Insurance has laws in place that state a bail bondsman may only charge 10% of the total bail amount as a commission for their services. It is technically illegal to charge any more or less, and getting involved with a company that does can lead to additional trouble.
Make sure your bail bondsman is charging the proper amount, especially if you or a loved one is putting up valuable assets as collateral. The 10% bail cost rule is true for Los Angeles bail bonds, as well as those throughout the state of California.
Licensed Bail Bondsman
Only State-licensed agents or companies, (also licensed through the California Department of Insurance) are permitted to post bail bonds in Los Angeles.
Bail costs are usually set extremely high—commonly 10s of thousands of dollars, though bail amounts can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions for high profile crimes. A licensed bail bondsman is always backed by a specialized insurance company in order to cover these large amounts in the event a suspect attempts to flee their trial.
Be sure the bail bonds company you’re considering is licensed by the State Department of Insurance and all of their licensing is current as well.
Speed of Bail
This is obviously a very important issue, but it is important to understand that bail bondsman are most often at the mercy of the police station or other law enforcement holding facility when it comes to how quickly they can get you freed.
Many bail bonds companies will stress that they are extremely fast at releasing customers from custody because it is still necessary for a bail bondsman to physically appear in order to release an arrestee.
However, it is possible today to initiate the release process by fax and email, allowing the bail process to be expedited. As long as a bail bonds company or agent acknowledges that they can do this, you’re pretty certain to be released from jail as soon as bureaucratically possible.
Recognize that each particular jail is different and how busy the facility is can change day to day. In Los Angeles, those held at the Twin Towers, the Orange County Jail, Riverside County jail or any other county holding facility will have substantially longer release times than those held at local police stations.
Attorney Resources
It’s never a bad idea to ask your bail bondsman for attorney resources if you are in need of them. Bail bonds companies work with attorneys pretty frequently and usually have relationships with attorneys that may specialize in the crime you or your loved one is being charged with.

LA Bail Bonds Guide: Understanding the Arrest Process
Any arrest can be difficult on friends and family of the person in legal trouble, but it’s possible to reduce some of the stress associated with the legal process by understanding how the system works. In Los Angeles, bail bonds are a necessary part of the booking and releasing process.
If you need help from a Los Angeles bail bonds company freeing someone you know from jail, consider these key steps of the arrest process in order to better understand what’s going on with your loved one’s arrest.
Those Arrested are Taken to a Holding Facility for Processing
Pretty much any police station has a city jail built in, in the form of a holding facility that can house multiple suspects. Those convicted of serious offenses or not bailed out in a timely manner will be transferred to a Los Angeles County Jail or holding facility for processing.
Processing refers to the act of recording the details of the arrest through police paperwork, mugshots, fingerprinting and uploading information to a public database.
Seeing a Judge Determines Bail
Once the arrested person has been processed, they are slated to see a judge. Courtrooms exist in Los Angeles County Jail holding facilities and a judge determines whether or not the charge is valid, if it will go to trial or not and if so, what the bail amount is for release of the defendant until their scheduled trial date.
Once the judge sets the bail amount, a Los Angeles bail bondsman can proceed with posting their bail and releasing the defendant.
Hiring a Los Angeles Bail Bonds Company
It’s important to select a Los Angeles bail bondsman as soon as you catch word of your loved one’s incarceration and decide to help them get released from jail. Though the processing stage of the arrest can take several hours, a good Los Angeles bail bonds company can initiate the bail process and paperwork by phone, fax or email so the release takes as little time as the holding facility allows.
Fulfilling Your Duties after Bail
Defendants released on bail will exit the jail with paperwork that references their charges and scheduled court appearance. It is now your responsibility as the bail indemnitor to help ensure they do indeed appear for all scheduled court dates. Missing any could result in creditors or bounty hunters seeking financial reparations for the total bail amount.

LA Bail Bonds: LAPD Increases Security at Dodger Stadium
One week after a brutal attack left a man in the hospital with brain damage at Dodger Stadium, police are cracking down and tightening enforcement at the park.
Bryan Stow was attending a Dodgers’ game to root for his hometown San Francisco Giants wearing the team’s jersey when he was harassed after the game by two Dodgers’ fans that appeared to be intoxicated. They were taunting him and other Giants’ fans, when one attacked Stow from behind. The beating sent Stow to the hospital, where doctors were forced to put him in a medically induced coma.
Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck warned potential hooligans that the LAPD would be increasing its presence at Dodgers’ games. Any troublemakers will be arrested and taken to the Los Angeles county jail. Unfortunately, the two men escaped and have yet to be put behind bars and left waiting for bail bonds in Los Angeles. The police are still waiting for tips that lead to an arrest.
But heading forward, expect an increased police force, both in-uniform and undercover. The team assigned to secure the stadium will also look into adding lights in the parking lots, reviewing the policy on alcohol sales, and examining current security personnel.
It is believed that Dodgers’ owner Frank McCourt will foot the bill for the added officers, though no formal deal has been reached. The additional security could get pricy, potentially topping $100,000, but that is a small price to pay to return ease of mind to the fan base and to visitors in the city.
This change in policy is meant to restore fans’ enjoyment of the American Pastime. Parents should not have to worry about taking their kids out to watch a ball game and eat a Dodger Dog.
Hopefully, the two men responsible will soon be arrested and held without Los Angeles bail bonds cost so visiting fans can once again feel safe at Dodger Stadium.

LA Bail Bonds: LAPD Lacks New Leads in Murder of The Notorious B.I.G.
In a case spanning back over a decade, the LAPD claims to have exhausted all leads in finding the murderer of popular rapper The Notorious B.I.G., real name Christopher Wallace. Biggie was shot in the Miracle Mile area outside the Peterson Automotive Museum on March 9, 1997. So far, no one has been formally charged and held for bail bonds in Los Angeles. The murder remains a mystery, although Wallace’s family does have theories that include LAPD involvement.
Biggie Smalls, as he was also known, was one of rap’s biggest stars, and his murder came just months after the similar slaying of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas following a Mike Tyson title fight. The two rappers were embroiled in the infamous East Coast versus West Coast battle for national supremacy, and it was originally believed that Biggie was killed as revenge for Tupac’s murder by a lone West Coast gang member. But the Wallace family has since stated that the nature of Biggie’s death was too complex for just one gang member to pull off and that the LAPD were somehow involved in the crime, which could possibly be why no suspect was held waiting for a Los Angeles bail bonds contact in his jail cell.
The FBI officially ended their involvement in the case in 2005, but the LAPD has continued to investigate using FBI documents. Unfortunately, they think they have finally hit a dead end.
Allegedly, LAPD officers were present at the after-party that Biggie was attending and appeared to be talking suspiciously on cell phones before the shooting, possibly warning the gunman when B.I.G. was leaving. Some specialists have suggested that the slaying was performed in too professional a manner for a single gang member acting alone and must have been orchestrated by a large group of people who knew what they were doing.
Ideally, the killer would have been apprehended and held in jail without bail bonds in Los Angeles years ago, but that possibility is dwindling with each passing year. The killer may not even be alive any more. Hopefully, the murderer will be arrested and held without chance of anyone paying the Los Angeles bail bonds cost for this heinous crime against one the greatest rappers ever. Alas,the murder of The Notorious B.I.G. may remain one of America’s unsolved mysteries.

Van Nuys Bail Bonds: Celebrities Arrested in Van Nuys
Our Van Nuys Bail Bonds division is perhaps one of the top 3 busiest divisions in the Los Angeles area. Although the Hollywood bail bonds jails get most of the celebrities, the Van Nuys Jail has gotten its fair share in the last 2 years. That being the case we help many people post bail at the Van Nuys Jail, and of course 1 800 Bail Bond has a very strict privacy policy, so we would not disclose who we helped to post bail in Van Nuys, but here are few celebrities that have been arrested and booked at the Van Nuys Jail.
Former President Reagan’s grandson: Cameron Reagan, 31, arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest.
One of the stars of “The Hills”: Stephanie Pratt, 23, arrested for DUI
Celebrity Choreographer: Alex Da Silva, 41, arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting four of his dance students.
And many many more… So although the Los Angeles county jail and the Hollywood Jail get most of the attention, Van Nuys bail bonds are right there with their own celebrity portfolio.
