What To Do When Arrested In FloridaWhen a friend or family member is arrested in Florida it can be difficult to find useful information. Arrests often happen in the middle of the night and it can be hard to find out what to do. Attorneys and bondsman are familiar with the process and can help take the necessary steps to get a friend or family member out of jail.
A Sanford bail bondsman will want an indemnitor to sign for the accused. As long as the accused attends all scheduled court dates the indemnitor will not have any obligations after signing for the accused. In some situations a bondsman might want collateral. Collateral is generally something of value held by the bondsman as security. Generally collateral is not required unless something about the bond appears to be risky. If the accused has a history of failing to appear or the bond appears to have other risk factors like residing out of state, collateral can give the Daytona Beach bail bondsman the security they need to bond the accused out of jail. In most cases collateral is not required. An individual is entitled to a bond unless the case is punishable by life or death, the accused violated probation or the state files a motion and convinces the judge that if the accused is released the public cannot be adequately protected. Common temporary exceptions to the entitlement to a bond are DUI cases and domestic violence cases. DUI cases the accused will not be let out until the breath test is below .05%, their normal faculties are no longer impaired or eight hours has passed from the arrest. Domestic violence cases will typically not be bonded until the defendant appears at first appearance. At first appearance the judge will usually grant a domestic violence defendant a bond out but in many cases they will have special conditions including either a no contact order or a non-violent contact order. An attorney can file a motion to modify the restrictions placed on someone accused of a domestic violence charge. Photos: https://www.prlog.org/ https://www.prlog.org/ End
