Gaining pretrial release

Thursday, December 10, 2009
When a person is arrested in San Francisco, he or she is first taken to a police station to be booked, or processed. After a suspect has been processed, they will likely be eligible for bail. A person who can afford to pay bail, he or she are released immediately. Bail is a pledge of personal to the court, made to guarantee a person's appearance in court at a later date. Bail is often calculated based on the danger the defendant may represent to the public if he or she is let out of jail. Bail is set high or not available if the judge feels that the crime is very serious.

Relatives or friends can come to a jail or court and post cash bail for an arrested person, or purchase a bond from a bail bond seller. The defendant usually must give a certain percentage of the bail (often 10 percent) in cash. If you are looking reliable bail bonds in San Francisco you can ask friends or colleagues for recommendation. If you can't get referral, do a little research on the internet.
