How Bail Works
How Does the Bail Bond Procedure Work in Oklahoma
If you get arrested and charged with a crime, you will either be held in custody til the trial date which can go on for weeks or months or you can post a bond to stay out of jail.
Your bail amount is set as a monetary insurance between the court and the defendant. If you fail to appear, the appearance bond shall be forfeited.
The only exception to this rule includes any unforeseen emergency situation or misunderstanding about the court dates. In this case, the court can reschedule the dates and the bond will not be forfeited.
What Would Happen If You Skip Bail?
If your bond has been paid for and you skip court dates, the bail bond agent has the authority to locate you and surrender the defendant to the court.
The bail amount is set by the judge before a formal trial, considering the case and after reviewing the case thoroughly.
The review will be based on the amount of threat you pose to the community and your perceived flight risk.
How Much Will the Bail Amount Be?
In most cases, depending on the crime committed, the bond will be set to at least a few thousand dollars and often it’s in tens of thousands of dollars. The defendant or someone on behalf of the defendant is expected to pay a cash bond in full to the court.
For most people, even with the help of family members and friends, it is not possible to pay the bail amount; not to forget the cost of court fines, criminal fees, and other costs from being arrested.
With the appearance bail bond, the defendant will generally be responsible for his or her own court costs. Call All City Bail Bonds of Oklahoma City, OK at 405-841-BOND (2663) to learn more about the bail process.
