Being out on bond can be hard, but sitting in the jail is definitely worse. It’s hard now because there are lawyers, judges, police officers, family, and now a bail bondsman that you have to answer to. All of this can seem overwhelming, but remember its better than sitting in jail. Therefore, to help alleviate some of the pressure and anxiety here are three rules that the Rancho Cucamonga bail bonds require you to follow while out on bond:
Avoid reckless behavior
Although it may seem hard because reckless behavior is such a subjective term. To some hyper conservatives jaywalking is considered reckless, so for the sake of basic understanding, reckless behavior first includes whatever you did to land you in jail in the first place. Whatever activity landed you in jail is off limits, anything that is illegal is off limits, most of all anything that paints you as anything but a model citizen is definitely off limits. The bail bond services and you family/friends are the reason you are free while awaiting trial so staying out of trouble helps to ensure that you aren’t held in jail instead.
Always have a means to be contacted
This is a very important rule because besides that fact that your family and friends would appreciate keeping in contact with you, it’s also in your best interest not to appear to the court as being a flight risk. Whether it is keeping a cellphone in your possession at all times, staying near a phone, or just staying home so that you are by the house phone, it’s necessary to be accessible.
ALWAYS appear to court and all required sessions as determined by the court or bail bond service
This rule is very self-explanatory, but let’s reiterates that you must always appear at all court dates, or court sessions as mandated by the court. Your freedom depends on your ability to appear in court and be accessible to the court when needed. Bail bondsmen also have session to check in while you await court dates, these sessions are also required, and logged in most cases.
The hardest part of being out on bond is that although you are free, you are not really free. This is overwhelming and in some cases cause major anxiety, but they key is to remember that it’s easier to await trial in the comfort of your own bed than in a jail house.
