Bonding out of jail
We all read in the online news about these meth heads, PCP users, and other drug users who all look as though they don't have any money.
They are taken to jail and bond out on $2,000 or $3000 bond that supposedly guarantees their next court appearance. We then see future online stories that say they have been arrested again for missing a court date.
My question is how they keep getting bonded out over and over if they have forfeited one bond? Why would a bondsman do it again if he got stiffed once? I realize the bondsman charges at least 10% as his fee.
If the arrested person calls Mom or Dad for help with the bond and then skips out on the court appearance; one time should be the limit on that.
Just curious - no agenda or personal thing!
