Don’t Believe These Three Big Bail Bonding Myths

Bail reform advocates have fought fiercely to convince the American public that eliminating cash bail bonding is in the best interest of citizens. Unfortunately, the basis of their claims is flawed. The rhetoric cash bail bonding reform advocates spout is wrought with myths and misinformation as a result. Our Denver bail agents are here to set the record straight on three popular false claims about bail bonding.

MYTH: Jails Are Full of First Time, Non-Violent Offenders

Many bail reform advocates will tell all of those who will listen about the injustice of bail bonding after an arrest. They’ll claim that those awaiting bail are typically innocent or first-time offenders arrested for a non-violent crime. Unfortunately, only 2% of California’s jail population are non-violent offenders with no prior arrests, and the numbers in most other U.S. states aren’t much better. Many states do have laws prohibiting first-time low-level offenders from being held in jail. Bail reform advocates drastically misconstrue these facts – and by removing judge’s discretion to hold high-risk offenders on bail, they put the safety of the public at risk.

MYTH: Cash Bail Bonds Don’t Affect Court Attendance

Contrary to this common claim, the U.S. Justice Department has found from extensive research that the cash bail system is the most effective way to ensure that defendants don’t miss their court hearings. In states that implement a ban on cash bail bonding, attendance at scheduled court appearances drop dramatically. This increases the risk that violent offenders will run from the law with no system to ensure accountability for their crimes (and safety for their victims).

MYTH: There’s No Regulation in the Cash Bail Industry

Contrary to this popular claim, the bail bonding industry is subject to stringent regulations and oversight. Every bail agent must be licensed, meet strict financial standards, and undergo intensive training. Consumers can easily report unlicensed or unprofessional bail agents to governing boards like the Department of Insurance. If licensed bail agents don’t uphold all requirements, the state can remove their license or even charge bail agents criminally.

Think Twice Before Believing the Bail Reform Ruse

Most systems have room for improvement, and the bail bonding system is no exception. Unfortunately, the push to eliminate cash bail is based on myths like the three outlined above. Our Denver bail bondsmen advise citizens to think twice and do their own research before voting potentially dangerous bail reform bills into effect.

Before Calling a Bondsman, Review These Three Essential Facts

It's news that everyone dreads: someone you love has been arrested. Whether it's your family member, friend, or romantic partner, it's never easy to learn that someone you care about is stuck behind bars - and most of us would do whatever it takes to help them get home as soon as possible. However, if you're new to the bail bonding process, it's important to understand a few basic facts about bail bonds before calling every bail agent in town or signing on the dotted line.

Bondsmen Don't Set Bail Bonds Fees

In most industries, comparison shopping can save you some serious cash. However, bail bonding fees are state-regulated, and licensed bail bondsmen are required to abide by their strict standards. In other words, calling every bonding company in Denver likely won't make much of a difference on the total percentage you'll be required to pay up-front.

Bail May Not Be Returned For Years (If Ever)

If your loved one follows the letter of the law following their arrest, you'll eventually get your bail money back. However, bail money stays with the courts until legal proceedings have entirely ended - which could be months or years after an arrest date. Call a bail bondsman if you can't afford to part with the necessary funds indefinitely.

Indemnity Isn't Easy

Once you bail someone out of jail, you're legally their "indemnitor" and bear legal responsibility for their actions from that point forward. If they get arrested again while out on bail, you're legally on the hook for their entire bail payment. If they decide to flee before legal proceedings have ended, you'll foot the bill for their attempted recapture. Procced with caution before putting your car or house on the line as collateral, because the state WILL seize your assets if your loved one breaks the conditions of their bail.

Don't Fall For This Popular Bail Bonding Scam

If you’re anything like our Jefferson County bail bonding team, you work hard for your money. Unfortunately, scammers will work hard for your money, too - stopping at nothing to trick trusting Americans into handing over their paycheck before they have a chance to think twice. How can you protect yourself from the latest bail bonding scams? Tayler Made Bail Bonding’s experienced cash bail agents are here to explain the basics of one increasingly popular bail bonding scam tactic - the cold call. Review the basics of this approach below so you're ready to resist even the savviest conman's attempts to steal your savings.

 The Cold Call

Almost anyone can find basic information about you through free online directories like WhitePages - including your full name, last known address, phone number and closest relatives. More often than not, they can find the same intel about your relatives, too. Cold callers will spend a few minutes sleuthing online and jot down these facts about you and your family. They'll jot down these basics and proceed to call you, identify your full name and the name of your loved one, and claim authoritatively that that loved one's behind bars and needs cash to get out of jail. These calls often occur at odd hours of the night, when your critical thinking skills are at their lowest and you're much more easily manipulated.

"Pay By Phone - It’s the Only Option”

Scammers will try to insist that you pay over the phone by reading your credit card number or bank routing information aloud. It's a good rule of thumb to NEVER trust any stranger with self-proclaimed authority asking for your financial information. If someone ever calls you out of the blue and makes a request like this, hang up and call your relative directly. Odds are, they'll answer, oblivious to the dire legal troubles shared by the cold caller moments prior. To help others avoid falling for the same scammer's tricks, you can share the cold caller's phone number and the details of your experience in a report to the National Do Not Call Registry.
