UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS: WHO’S INVOLVED IN THE BAIL PROCESS?
IN THE WORLD OF BAIL BONDS AND FUGITIVE RECOVERY, SEVERAL KEY ROLES COME INTO PLAY.
LET’S DELVE INTO THESE ROLES AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE:
1. DEFENDANT
A DEFENDANT IS AN INDIVIDUAL ACCUSED OF COMMITTING AN OFFENSE. IN MOST CASES, THEY MUST POST BAIL BEFORE BEING RELEASED FROM CUSTODY, EXCEPT FOR VERY MINOR CASES.
FAILURE TO APPEAR IN COURT OR COMPLY WITH BAIL CONDITIONS CAN LEAD TO BECOMING A FUGITIVE.
2. CO-SIGNER/INDEMNITOR
SIMILAR TO A CO-SIGNER ON A LOAN, A CO-SIGNER/INDEMNITOR SIGNS A CONTRACT WITH THE BONDSMAN AND SURETY.
THEY GUARANTEE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IF THE DEFENDANT FAILS TO MEET BAIL CONDITIONS OR BECOMES A FUGITIVE.
3. SURETY AND BONDSMAN
A SURETY IS AN INSURANCE COMPANY PROVIDING THE BAIL BOND, OFTEN OBTAINED THROUGH A BONDSMAN.
THE BOND IS PRESENTED TO THE COURT AS A GUARANTEE THE DEFENDANT WILL ATTEND ALL COURT PROCEEDINGS UNTIL THE CASE’S FINAL JUDGMENT.
4. BAIL
BAIL IS PROPERTY PLEDGED TO A COURT TO SECURE A DEFENDANT’S RELEASE FROM JAIL, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THEY’LL RETURN FOR TRIAL.
IF THE DEFENDANT FULFILLS ALL COURT APPEARANCES, BAIL MONEY OR THE BOND WILL BE RETURNED. MONEY PAID TO POST A BOND BY A BONDSMAN IS NON-REFUNDABLE.
5. FUGITIVE
A FUGITIVE IS A DEFENDANT WITH A WARRANT FOR THEIR ARREST DUE TO FAILING TO APPEAR IN COURT OR VIOLATING BAIL CONDITIONS.
THEY MAY HIDE TO EVADE LAW ENFORCEMENT, RISKING ADDITIONAL CHARGES.
6. BOUNTY HUNTER
A BOUNTY HUNTER, OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS A BAIL ENFORCEMENT AGENT, CAPTURES FUGITIVES FOR A MONETARY REWARD.
THEY HAVE VARYING LEVELS OF AUTHORITY,
UP TO AND INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO ENTER PRIVATE PROPERTY WITHOUT A WARRANT FOR RE-ARREST OF THE DEFENDANT/FUGITIVE.
WITH U.S. MUGSHOTS, ANY INDIVIDUAL WITH VALID INFORMATION CAN ANONYMOUSLY SUBMIT TIPS, AIDING IN A FUGITIVE’S APPREHENSION.
OUR PROGRAM NOT ONLY CONTRIBUTES TO COMMUNITY SAFETY BUT ALSO OFFERS REWARDS FOR ASSISTANCE,
EMPOWERING CITIZENS TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST CRIME.
