Vandalism Charges – California Penal Code 594
Vandalism (594 P.C.) is defined as any person committing wrongful acts to any personal or real property which is not their own. Someone who damages the property of another can be described as: defacing property with graffiti or written/inscribed material, scratching or keying cars, throwing eggs, shooting paintballs, breaking windows, defacing or ruining mailboxes or street signs, etc. Vandalism can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony charge and can lead to jail time of up to one year, fines up to $1,000, community service or restitution for the damage done to the victimÂ’s personal property.
Bail Process
When you contact our company, information such as the inmateÂ’s name, date of birth and when they were arrested are important to have on hand. This will help to smoothly initiate the bail process. We have an easy to understand application that can be handled quickly by email or fax in just a few minutes. When the paperwork is finalized, a licensed agent will file, or “post”, the bond with the jail and the defendant will be released.
Bail Costs
We offer creative financial solutions and have several bail bond payment options to choose from. Paying for the bail bond is made easy with Visa, Master Card, American Express and Discover. You may also pay by cash. Unfortunately, we do not accept checks at this time. Should your friend or family memberÂ’s bail amount be set at $10,000, the signer (indemnitor) would pay $1,000 or 10% to have them released. We never include additional finance charges, taxes or fees; you Â’ll always know up-front exactly what the charges for the bail bond will be.
What is Collateral?
Collateral may be used in the form of California real estate or cash deposit. Bail bond companies may require collateral to ensure the defendant will appear for their court dates. ItÂ’s important to understand, that if for any reason the defendant does not show up for court or cannot be located, the bail bond company will be forced to use any collateral to pay the “forfeiture” of the total bail amount. If a bail bond is secured with the use of collateral, it will be returned once the case has been settled.
That said, we write most of our bail bonds with no collateral required.
