In the unfortunate situation that you are arrested and charged with a crime, you will likely be eligible for bail (as long as the charges do not involve a violent felony and you are not considered a threat to the community). A bail bond is the exchange between you and court in which you deposit money or property with the court for your freedom and promise to later appear in court to resolve the charges against you. While the judge overseeing your case will determine the amount of your bail (based on the notion that it is expensive enough to ensure your future court appearance), those who fail to appear in court at the specified date will typically have:
- A bench warrant issued for their immediate arrest.
- Forfeited the money and/or property put up as bail.
- New charges of “failure to appear” filed against them. Convictions on failure to appear charges can result in up to one year of imprisonment, as well as ineligibility for future probation and/or the impossibility of having future jail sentences suspended.
