| [04-23 20:26] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: not sure baout bail bonds but probably have them here |
| [04-23 20:27] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: but i havnt ever dug int ot cimral texas laws so no lcue |
| [04-23 20:27] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: overall unless you hurt someone in this stae probably just get a fine |
| [04-23 20:27] | [Chat] | Roku: no bail bonds is probably a good thing, because there's a ton of people that shoplift or something minor like that and can't pay a $1000 bond. So they do their time while waiting for court and usally time served is more than they would have had in the first place if they had money. |
| [04-23 20:28] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: wel ltexas has a bail bonds system |
| [04-23 20:28] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: at least that is what google tells me |
| [04-23 20:28] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: wit ha 10 to 20% non refund fee |
| [04-23 20:29] | [Chat] | Roku: where bail bonds really make a difference is in felony cases with white collar crimes. |
| [04-23 20:29] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: proably depends how the state has them setup |
| [04-23 20:29] | [Chat] | Roku: the rich do something with fraud, then get a 100,000 bail... sounds good until they post it using only 10,000 and flee to the cayman islands. |
| [04-23 20:29] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: most only know the tv/movie verisonf ob bail bonds |
| [04-23 20:30] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: in reality its probably way diff and varys state by state |
| [04-23 20:30] | [Chat] | Roku: then they have both the court and the bail bondsment hunting them down for life, but living like kings in the Caymans. |
| [04-23 20:30] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: maybe |
| [04-23 20:31] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: but most smart judges require turning passwords and any id rquired ot flee over |
| [04-23 20:31] | [Chat] | Roku: here you just go to jail or pay a much lower bond, or even what we call a 'signature' bond - aka you pay 0 but owe it if you fail to show at court. |
| [04-23 20:31] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: at least if that is allowed for that state |
| [04-23 20:31] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: granted if you own your own plane that is easy to get around |
| [04-23 20:32] | [Chat] | Roku: so the inducement to flee is greatly reduced except in the most extreme cases, and if you are in one of those, they either set it at 10X your net worth or just 'no bail'. |
| [04-23 20:33] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: some do house arrest with ankelts nowdays |
