Bail and Bondsman

According to Rule 7.2 (Right to release on one’s personal recognizance or on bond), any defendant who has been charged with a bailable offense can be released from police custody during the trial on his or her personal recognizance. However, if the court or the magistrate assumes that such release will not ensure the future appearances of the defendant, then the court or the magistrate can impose the Rule 7.3, which will bring onerous condition on the defendant. If you cannot afford to pay the bail money by yourself, you should hire a bail and bondsman. A verified bail and bondsman would post the bail money for you and charge at least $100 as their premium.
