well i have just recently been thinking about doing something different yet interesting and bail bonds seem real interesting to me as i have recently been getting involved with real estate and now i would like to do something that brings a little bit more cash flow to the pockets on the side

My husband posted bond, his bail amount was $50,000. He gave the bail bond company $5000. and was released. The court gave him a bond exoneration form… and told him he should get his money back from the bondsman. The bondsman told him that he will not get any money back!!! Is this right that they will keep hiss $5000.00 for posting bail on charges that where dropped??? I don’t understand… is their admin fee $5000.?

Do you have have all of the money for every bond, or a %? DO you have to have a degree? Who could help me get started as far where to start?

A friend was arrested by the police for an alleged crime, and they told me I could pick her up for $40. I asked if that was the bond or bail, and they said it was “the fee”.

They only accepted cash, they didn’t give me a receipt, and I asked if that money gets returned to me when she is proven innocent and they told me no.

I was told I was waiting for the bondsman to show up. I asked again and was told the money not a bond, but a “fee”.

What the heck did I just pay for? I thought when you get arrested and want be released you get two option; pay the bond or pay the bail.

So my questions are:
1) Did I pay a bond instead of a “fee”?
2) Is it legal for a police department to only offer you the option of a bond and not allow you to opt for the full bail? If no, do I have recourse to sue to get my money back since I wasn’t offer the chance to pay bail?

Seems like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just two pieces of paper in the way of police departments getting extra revenue
I was told it was a “fee”, not a bond payment.

I specifically asked if I could pay the BAIL, and was given a look by the desk clerk that suggested I was dumber than a rock. He told me that I must not be understanding him, and that the money to be given was “not bond nor bail” but rather a “fee” that “was NOT refunded nor refundable”.

Then they called in a bondsman that I had to wait an hour for. But yet I was told no BOND was being placed, and just a FEE was being levied, so what need is there of a bondsman to be there?

So okay, maybe perhaps the POLICE aren’t getting the money. Maybe the BONDSMAN is. But is there any legitimate reason to try to deceive me about a bond being instead a “fee”, and refusing me to allow to post the full bail myself? The only reason that seems like they would want me to post bond instead of bail would be to support the bondsman, which is equally immoral/unethical/illegal.

Do you think that allowing people to be bailed out of jail is justified? Is this fair to poor people?
I could use some sources also if you would

There are so many ads online as well as in the phone book for bail bond companies! How does one decide which is the better agency if all of them charge the same rate?
