[04-23 20:25][Chat]Icewolfz: n o20 to life it iwll be flip a switch or not
[04-23 20:26][Chat]Roku: also there's no bail bonds here and truth in sentencing, so 10 years prison is at least 10 years with good behavior. Bad behavior could net you another 50%.
[04-23 20:26][Chat]Icewolfz: here they mostly just charge you a fine unless you hit someone
[04-23 20:26][Chat]Icewolfz: granted dependgn on the city/county it may change
[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.
