According to the law in some states, anyone may be arrested by any peace officer or any private person without a warrant. There has to be enough reasonable evidence and the person arrested has to be taken before a judge quickly. Everyone has certain rights to freedom but often this right is delayed before going before a judge. In some instances, bail can be offered to the courts until a person can be seen by a judge. Bail is a form of money or property that can be paid so that a person can resume freedom until a court date. If they do not return, the courts have a form of assured payment for legal expenses. A bail bond is not payment for a crime. A warrant for an arrest will be issued if a person does not appear in court. A special licensed financial security officer like Bond James Bond Inc. can ensure personal freedom until a set court date.
When a person gives bail to the court they may be refunded all of the money or property if the person appears in court and is found not guilty. If a person is found guilty, however, bail may not be refunded at all. Many people do not have enough assets to cover or risk losing the bail amount. A bail bondsman may provide a guaranteed loan for bail at a fraction of the total bail amount. Financial specialists that offer bail bond insurance contracts may have several bail bonds offices in many states and court districts. A qualified bail bond agent completes a thorough national security background check, is fingerprinted and photographed.
An Office of Insurance issues a license to practice the selling of many types of insurance in each state in the U.S. A bail bondsman must apply for each license and take each state’s license insurance. Once licensed, the bail bond agent can then draw up contracts between individuals and law enforcement agencies, courts and state prosecutors of that state. . In most contracts, it states that if a person fails to appear in court, the bail bond agent may find the person and sue them and the person that was provided bail to recover the bail money that was insured and paid. By contracting with a licensed and insured bail bond agent, freedom does not have to be put on hold while waiting for a day in court.
