How Does A Bail Bond Work?
Getting arrested can happen for a wide variety of reasons. One reason that a person may be arrested for is a traffic violation such as a DUI.

Booking is a process by which the officer enters data about an individual into a computer system. During that time, they would take fingerprints and record the crime of which the accused person is being accused. Next, one of the officers would speak to a judge about a possible bail amount. Bail is an amount of money that a person has to pay to get out of jail until the court date. The judge will usually order the person to pay bail for one of several reasons.
