Breaking the Law? Here’s How Crimes Mess with Bail Bonds!
Breaking the law is never a good idea, but if you’re thinking about doing so, you should probably know that it can mess with your bail bond. That’s right, the same thing that was supposed to save you from jail can’t do much for you if you’re caught committing a crime again. So, before you decide to break the law, here’s what you need to know about how crimes affect bail bonds.
Busted? Bail Bonds Can’t Save You Now!
If you’re already out on bail and you break the law again, don’t expect that your bail bondsman will come to your rescue. In fact, your bail bond may be revoked, and you could be sent back to jail. When you signed up for a bail bond, you agreed to follow all the rules and regulations of the court. If you violate those rules, you’re essentially breaching the contract you have with your bail bondsman.
So, what happens when your bail bond is revoked? Well, the bondsman will probably want to get you back into custody as soon as possible. That means they’ll have to pay the full amount of your bail to the court, and you’ll be responsible for reimbursing them for that expense. Plus, you’ll have to pay any fees or penalties associated with your bail bond agreement. In short, breaking the law can be a costly mistake.
From Jail to Fail: How Crimes Affect Bail Bonds
Even if you haven’t been bailed out yet, committing a crime can still affect your chances of getting a bail bond. Bail bond companies are in the business of making money, and they’re not going to take on a risky client. If you have a criminal history or are facing serious charges, you may not be able to find a bail bondsman who’s willing to work with you.
Furthermore, bail bond companies often require collateral, such as property or cash, to secure the bond. If you’re charged with a crime, the value of that collateral may be called into question. For example, if you put up your car as collateral and it turns out you were using it to transport drugs, the bondsman may not be willing to accept it as security anymore. In short, committing a crime can make it much more difficult to secure a bail bond.
Breaking the law is never a good idea, but if you’re thinking about it, now you know how it can affect your bail bonds. Remember, a bail bond is a contract between you and the bondsman, and if you violate that contract, you could end up back in jail. So, if you’re out on bail, don’t do anything stupid. And if you’re trying to secure a bail bond, be honest with your bondsman about your situation. With a little luck and a lot of honesty, you may be able to avoid some of the pitfalls of the criminal justice system.
