You’ve Posted Bail, So What’s Next?

What happens after you post bail? Well, you’re free to go. Sort of.

The law wouldn’t simply take their eyes off you, let alone offer your freedom without several conditions. The most important of these is to appear on the day of your hearing. Depending on the nature of the crime, however, a judge can impose one or more of any of the following conditions upon your temporary release:

·         Continue working or looking for work

·         Continue studying or applying for an educational program

·         Observe curfew hours

·         Refrain from committing other crimes (a given)

·         Avoid contact with victims and witnesses

·         Stay in contact with police

·         Comply with travel restrictions

Bail is designed to provide a person temporary freedom since he can’t be punished until he’s proven guilty. Since the law has already marked him for a probable offense, however, the law must keep a close watch on him to prevent further trouble. Those on bail, even if temporary, must not waste this respite from prison.

Besides, bail jumping will only get you in more trouble. The law allows bounty hunters to go after those who don’t appear in court on the said date. They’re not police officers, but they take the load off the police force by nabbing bail jumpers for a fee. If you’ve watched the reenacted adventures of Duane Chapman’s bounty hunting days, that’s their line of work in a nutshell.
