Why You Must Use Bail Bonds Over Cash
by Blair Nicole PR, Marketing If you find yourself in a situation where you must deal with the courts and are facing jail, then you need a bail bondsman court cash if you have access to it. But, that might not be the best idea for the very reasons discussed below.Courts Will Take Your Cash
If you pay cash to get out of jail, the courts can use that cash to cover your court costs and fines. In some cases, your fines and costs could actually be higher than using a surety bond. Cash can also interfere with any installment arrangements you are able to make with the court. A surety bond cannot be used to pay for court costs and fines.
Using Cash Could Make You Lose Access to a Court-Appointed Attorney
If you give the court cash, it demonstrates to the court that you have access to cash. Depending on the severity of your case, you will probably need an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, the court will appoint an attorney for you. But, if the court thinks you have access to the cash you could be denied the appointment of a public defender. And without an attorney on your side defending you, you could lose your case and face more charges and jail time.
Forfeiture of Cash on a Technicality
Any cash you use for bail will automatically be forfeited upon any bail violation, whether intentional or inadvertently. It does not matter to the court that you made an innocent mistake and didn't show up when or where you were supposed to. Courts are known to regularly change departments where cases are heard. So, you might show up to the wrong courtroom and when you finally figure out where you were supposed to go, you're late or are in the wrong department. Such instances will mean automatic bail forfeiture. Courts are so strict about appearances that if you even step out to the restroom and your name is called during that time, your case will not be heard and the court will keep your cash bail. In such situations, the only recourse you have is to hire an attorney to argue on your behalf to get the cash back. But, the courts are not inclined and certainly not obligated to return your cash.
When You Use Cash the Details Become Public
When you are faced with an arrest, it is embarrassing. And, if you're trying to help a friend or family member by posting cash bail, you don't necessarily want the details to be open to the public. But, that's exactly what happens when you use cash to post bail. If you use bail bonds, your information and that of everyone involved will stay private.
