A bail bond allows you to get out of the law enforcement agency\u2019s custody by paying some cash or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/types-of-bail-bonds\/\"><u>DeLaughter Bail Bonds<\/u><\/a>, a 24-hour bail bonds agency, can help you pay the bail amount. If the bond is paid in cash, the bond amount is refunded once the case is dismissed. However, in the case of a surety bond, <a href=\"#:~:text=Any%20person%20can%20post%20the,the%20surety%20bond%2C%20or%20%24100.\"><u>around 10%<\/u><\/a>\u00a0of the amount is posted to the court by a bondsman.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are still a lot of misconceptions about posting bail\u00a0that must be debunked.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Bail Can Be Posted For Any Crime<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now, this is one of the most common misconceptions about posting bail. Many believe that anyone accused of any crime can post bail. This is not true at all. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/ipdc\/files\/Pre-trial-Practices-Indiana-Protocols.pdf\"><u>Murder and treason are unbailable crimes<\/u><\/a>. Anyone proven to have committed murder or treason cannot be bailed out. However, for other crimes, the person can post bail.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Posting Bail Is Expensive<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another common misconception about posting bail\u00a0is that it is too expensive. The truth is that whatever the bail amount is decided by the court of law, all has to be paid. This is possible if the person connects with a bail bond agency like DeLaughter Bail Bonds.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the licensed bail bonds agent\u00a0posts bail on behalf of the defendant. When the amount is refunded, it goes to the agency. In return, they charge a small percentage of their fee as per their state laws.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3453 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture119.png\" alt=\"A  person with handcuffs and rolls of money in his hand illustrating the misconception about posting bail being expensive.\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture119.png 500w, https:\/\/delaughterbailbonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Picture119-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>You Have To Pay The Whole Amount<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This misconception about posting bail\u00a0needs to be debunked as well. The individual is not asked to pay the whole bail amount. If the defendant has to pay a cash bond, they can consult the bail bond agency so that they can pay the amount for them for a certain fee.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the surety bond is being paid, the agency will only have to pay around 10% of the total bail amount. DeLaughter Bail Bonds\u2019 24-hour bail bond service\u00a0can help you with this.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Bailing Out Means Permission To Do Anything<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Getting bailed out does not mean that the person is allowed to do everything. When a person is set out of jail on bail, they need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/ipdc\/files\/Pre-trial-Practices-Indiana-Protocols.pdf\"><u>follow some limitations<\/u><\/a>. For instance, the person is not allowed to maintain any form of contact with the opposite party.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><b>Bail Means Case Closed<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A very common misconception about posting bail is when people believe that bailing out means that the case is closed. Bailing out means that the person will no longer be in police custody but will have to appear whenever the court calls them for their case hearing.<\/p>\n<p>In case of skipping the bail, the court can take strict action, which includes immediate arrest and penalties.
