His bail was set at $10,000. We are pretty angry and have not decided whether or not to get him out on bail. He’s been in jail for two days and has had to skip a day of classes. If we do decide to let him out on bail, what do we need to know about bail?

Penal code 470a states that it is a felony offense to forge or counterfeit a driver’s license or an ID card. Many young people that are under the age of 18 or 21 choose to make their own fake IDs so that they can buy alcohol and get into clubs that have age limits. However, it is important to teach your children that making and using a fake ID is illegal and comes with hefty fines if your young ones are caught.

If your son has gone to jail, the assumptive bail amount is $10,000. This means that bail will be set at about $10,000. However, keep in mind that the judge will take a variety of other factors into consideration when determining your son’s bail, so the bail could be much higher or it could be eliminate altogether.

One of the things that the judge will look at when determining bail is whether or not your son has a criminal history. If this is your son’s first offense, chances are good that the judge might not be quite as harsh on him as he would if this was your son’s tenth offense.

The judge will also examine the circumstances around the situation, including your son’s attitude. If the judge believes for any reason that your son may not show up to court to stand trial, then the judge would probably set the bail at a higher rate. However, because your son has made fake IDs, chances are good that the judge would not believe that he is a flight risk.

In terms of affording bail, make sure that before you pay bail, you have investigated your options. You will want to be sure that your son and his attorney have spoken with the judge about the possibility of letting your son go on his own recognizance, which means that the judge believes that your son will return to court for trial, so he will not demand that your son pay bail.

If you do, indeed, need to post bail for your son, then make sure that you have explored all of your options. If you choose to go with a bonding agency, then make sure that you choose an agency that is licensed for bail bonding. The agency will then pay the full amount of the bail. In order to have this service performed, you will need to pay ten percent of the amount of the bail as a down payment.

While the payment that the bonding agency makes is refundable as long as your son shows up to court on his trial day, the amount of money that you pay the bail bonding agency is not refundable. As such, when you go with the agency, you will lose $1,000. This is money that you will likely want to have your son bay back, since, after all, it is his bail.
