Getting arrested and being taken to jail gives a person very few options for release. One of the most common methods to obtaining a swift release from jail is using an Indianapolis bail bondsman. Bail bonds, most often, are people’s first choice when it comes to getting out of jail after being arrested on charges or suspicion of crimes. This is because bail bonds have proven to be the easiest, quickest, and most trustworthy means of obtaining a release from jail
following an arrest.

Bail Bonds and Court Dates

When a person is released from custody on bail, they are scheduled and notified of an upcoming court hearing where appointed authorities will determine their crimes and punishments. While out on bail and awaiting their scheduled court hearing, it is important to follow all obligations related to their bail and their court orders. Among several other rules and obligations, more common ones include not committing or being involved with any other crimes and no leaving the state under any circumstances.

When it comes to the bail agency that provides the bail bond services, their main concern is that a person shows up for their scheduled court hearing. If an individual out on bail chooses to evade or miss their court date, they are penalizing themselves, as well as, the bail bond company. This is because the bail agency covers the entire bond amount when a person wants to be released on bail. The arrestee only pays a bail bondsman a non-refundable fee that is a small percentage if their actual bond amount. The bail bondsman covers the rest of the bond and receives this money back when an arrestee appears for court.

If a person does not appear, the bail agency forfeits all monies paid until that person is returned to custody. An arrest warrant will be issued by the courts to apprehend them (now a fugitive of the law), and the bail bond company will do what they can to locate a fugitive and have their contract full-filled. This means going after the co-signer of the bail bond, or their family, for restitution. Missing or skipping a court date breaks the rules of a bail bond contract, and the law. It is highly suggested to always appear for all legal appointments and hearings in order to evade more jail time and costly legal fees.
