How Do Bail Bonds Work While Waiting for a Trial?
In the old days, a defendant had to sit in prison until brought before trial. In the meantime, he lost his job, income, and even his family cohesion being unable to provide for them. Today, in most states like Utah, a defendant is given a chance to bail out and provide financial security to the court that he or she will appear for trial in exchange for financial collateral, usually money. If the defendant doesn’t show up later on for trial, the bail is seized by the court and the defendant is pursued arrest on a bench warrant, a specific court order to appear, and be restrained until trial.
The bail, however, can be a substantial amount of money. And, the more serious the crime charged, the higher the bail amount will likely be. Most folks don’t have $5,000 or $10,000 ready to put up as bail, much less $50,000 or more. This is where a bail bonds company like Bad Boys Bail Bonds comes into play, providing freedom for the innocent until found guilty in a fair trial. While bail is not required to be paid by a defendant, most folks don’t want to sit in a jail cell until their trial date. So, a bail bonds lender like Bad Boys Bail Bonds tends to be the practical choice for many.
What Critical Role Does a Bail Agency Provide a Defendant?
The bail agency works as a business, charging a fee for its loan to a defendant. The fee is typically near 10 percent of the total bail amount required but it varies from agency to agency. To make sure that the defendant shows up at trial, and the bail bond is not compromised, the bondsman and bail agency has the power to pursue the defendant if a non-appearance occurs, even arresting powers. The agency can also sue the defendant’s estate for the total loss of the bail, including any additional costs as well as court fees and interest charges.
Most bail agencies like Bad Boys Bail Bonds will work with defendants with a variety of payment tools to cover the fee. Assuming the defendant shows up and the fee is paid timely, the bail agent has the power to take cash, credit, asset title, and similar depending on what the defendant can provide.
