[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
[04-23 20:33][Chat]Roku: More than one multi millionaire figured it was unfair they couldn't just pay to be on bail pending trial and lost.
[04-23 20:34][Chat]Icewolfz: depends on the millionair
[04-23 20:34][Chat]Icewolfz: those born in to money tend ot think that mor ehte nthose that have earned it
[04-23 20:34][Chat]Roku: including one drunk ass on a large yacht that plowed into a river cruise boat and then fled bc he had paid for stump shields on his bow that kept his fiberglass from breaking. And his yacht could do 50 kts
[04-23 20:35][Chat]Roku: found 2 days later in a drunken stupor at his home after hiding for a day and a half.
[04-23 20:35][Chat]Icewolfz: not sober enouh to know to leave the state
[04-23 20:35][Chat]Icewolfz: as that king of accidnet is a sure fire thye are not stopping til found
