30 Jan Out on Bail, Will More Likely Appear For Court
Did you know that a person who is out on bail is more likely to show up for their court dates? One of the biggest reasons this is true is that their current release could not have happened if it were not for the bail bond co-signer and/ or anyone who pledged collateral.
If the defendant fails to appear in court, the co-signer feels the consequences and the collateral is taken away. So loved ones are betting on the defendant to show up in court; the defendant does not want to let their loved ones down. They want to prove to them, and to everyone, that they can handle this situation maturely and responsibly. This is why they are more likely to show up for court.
When you bail a friend or family member out of jail, you become a part of that person’s support group. You will help make sure your loved one gets to all of his or her court appearances on time, thus ensuring your loved one makes good choices.
