Bail and bail bonds are available in most states, each state has its own set of laws, statutes and licensing requirements. In California the Department of Insurance sets bail bond licensing laws and regulations.
Bail is set by the presiding court or magistrate to guarantee that the defendant will appear in court to face legal proceedings for the crimes charged. The amount of bail charged is dependent on the criminal's danger to public safety, and the type of crime the defendant is being accused of. Prior convictions and the defendants risk of flight are some considerations the court will review.. There are some crimes that are not bailable. In California law, most misdemeanors can be bailed.
The amount of the bail paid is refunded by the courts at the conclusion of the legal proceedings, no matter if someone is found guilty or innocent. If the defendant does not appear in court as per scheduled dates a warrant is issued for the arrest of the defendant. Also the court will forfeit the bond and keep the amount posted for the defendant's release.
Bail is a legal right based on the concept that an individual is "innocent until proven guilty" This is a civil right guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
The courts that have to administer the law need some guarantee that the accused will appear in court to face their charges.. Bail has proven to be the most effective way to to insure the criminal defendant will appear in court. It is up to the discretion of the court to determine the bail amount. The setting of bail is based on the bail schedule as a form of guidance. The bail schedule is set by the court in each county. If a defendant or his or her attorney thinks that the bail amount is more than it should be, they can file a motion for reduction of bail with the court and if not granted make an appeal to another court for appeal for bail reduction.
