A lot of people will hear about bail in court hearings of high-profile individuals, or they\u2019ll see bail being set in movies when there\u2019s a court scene. These situations always portray a very large sum of money set as bail.<\/p>\n
However, that\u2019s not the only type of bail that can be set. In fact, that\u2019s usually not how bail is set for ordinary people who might not have committed a big crime and are in court for small or petty crimes. In this article, we\u2019ll discuss some of the different types of bail bonds<\/a> that can be set in a criminal court.<\/p>\n Unlike the scenes from movies or the exaggerated bails set for crime bosses and mafiosos, cash bonds aren\u2019t necessarily insane amounts of money.<\/p>\n Depending on the crime, a judge can set a standard amount of money that a defendant must pay to be kept out of jail until the hearing is completed. If the amount can be paid in cash, then the defendant has made bail. The amount can be increased or decreased<\/a> depending on circumstances and if the judge thinks someone is a flight risk or not.<\/p>\n Another form of bond to avoid pretrial detention is a property bond.<\/p>\n This bond acts the way collateral does against a loan. Essentially, the court will place a claim on a defendant\u2019s home, car, or some other possession of value in return for them being allowed to not be in jail. If a person attempts to run away or if they miss court dates, their possessions or property can be repossessed by the court to cover the cost of the bail.<\/p>\n A surety bond is used when a defendant is unable to cover the cost.<\/p>\n In this case, a bond lender<\/a> may be contacted by a friend or family member of the accused to cover the bail on their behalf. The way this works is that the bail lender charges a small amount over the bail that will be paid back to them later. This method lets individuals who are unable to afford bail avoid unnecessary jail time.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for bail bond services for yourself or for a friend or family member who can\u2019t afford to pay bail upfront, you should consider the affordable bail bonds services we offer at DeLaughter Bail Bonds<\/a>.
