California has certain laws for bail and bail bonds that must be followed. You know that defendants have the right to non-excessive bail and that a defendant has various options for posting bail like different types of bonds. But here are a few other regulations that you may not know:
- Bail agents cannot refer attorneys.
- Bail agents cannot bribe clients to refer them to other defendants needing to post bail.
- Bail agents cannot accept any money that has been obtained illegally (like by fraud of drugs).
- Bail agents have the right and responsibility to track down defendants if they do not show up to court.
- Bail agents must have current and valid licenses to be working as a bail agent.
- Bail agents cannot accept any bribery.
- Bail agents do not have the authority to lower bail that has been set by the judge.
