Landing in legal trouble not only puts your reputation at risk, but can also lead to financial problems, since bail amounts can be very high.<\/p>\n

To get out of jail, you need to post bail and<\/em> promise that you\u2019ll return for all court hearings. At times, the bail amount is so high that it\u2019s almost impossible to arrange for it on an immediate basis. In such scenarios, being released on personal recognizance is quite a blessing.<\/p>\n

What is personal recognizance?<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re arrested under normal conditions, you either need to pay the bail amount or pay a bondsman to pay on your behalf. With personal recognizance, though, both of these possibilities can be ruled out.<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, the judge allows the defendant to go home with a verbal or written promise that they\u2019ll return and attend their court hearing. You\u2019ll also need to promise the judge that you\u2019ll seek the court\u2019s consent before leaving the state and will abide by all the restrictions imposed by the court.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, you\u2019ll be required to sign an undertaking that you\u2019ll be ready to face the consequences if you fail to appear in any court hearings.<\/p>\n

What are the criteria?<\/h2>\n

Although the prospect of being released without having to pay anything sounds attractive, it doesn\u2019t apply to everyone.<\/p>\n

To check whether you\u2019ll qualify, you\u2019ll first need to know the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony. The two differ with regard to the severity of the crime. If it\u2019s a minor misdemeanor like a parking rule violation or a motor equipment violation, you might be allowed to go home on personal recognizance.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you\u2019ve been accused of a felony like a drug offense, a violent crime, or a criminal offense, you might not be granted bail on personal recognizance<\/a>. In such cases, the next best option is to get in touch with a bail bond agency and get them to arrange for your bail.<\/p>\n
