Get Bailed Out of Jail in National City

The fastest way to get out of jail in National City is to post bail. Cash bail is a process for getting out of jail without having to wait for a hearing or trial. Money is deposited with the court system to guarantee the cooperation of the defendant during their criminal proceedings. If the defendant fails to uphold the terms of their pretrial release, the bail money is forfeit to the court. However, if the defendant abides by all of the terms of his or her pretrial release, including appearing for all hearings and proceedings, the bail money will be refunded to the person who paid it.

The bail for each charge differs. Bail amounts are set by the Superior Court of that county and the bail schedule posted at each jail facility and available in court. The judge can set a different amount of bail, during a bail hearing, however. The standard Felony Bail Schedule for National City can be found HERE.

Bail Bonds In National City

Bail bonds are a way to get out of jail even if you don't have the full amount of bail on hand. A bail bond provider works with a surety company to provide a “bond” with the court. The “bond” is a document stating that the bond provider accepts responsibility for ensuring that a defendant appears for all court-ordered appearances and trial dates and that if the defendant fails to show, the surety company will pay the full amount of bail to the court.

In return for this guarantee, the law requires a non-refundable fee, usually 10% of the total bail due, be paid to the bail bond provider. This fee can be paid by the defendant or friends and family members of the defendant.

PC 1275 Hold on Bail

If you or a loved one needs to post bail, but find that there is a PC 1275 Hold placed on your bail, call Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds right away for help in sorting the matter out. Call (844)400-2245

What is a PC 1275 Hold?

Penal Code Section 1275.1 states that if there is probable cause to suspect that the money or property being used to post bail may come from criminal activity, bail will not be accepted. This is called a 1275 Hold.

Any person who plays a part in the arresting or prosecution process can place the PC 1275 Hold on the bail. This means that they believe the money being used to bail a person out of jail comes from illegal activity. The money may be believed to come from drug dealing, gang-related activities, embezzlement, theft, or extortion. Any of these activities would make the money that came from them ineligible for paying bail.

Bail is offered as a way to ensure that an individual shows up for all of the court proceedings surrounding his or her charges. The court assumes that illegal funds being used to pay for bail means that they won't care enough about the money to continue to appear for court proceedings, should the court allow them to be free on bail.

PC 1275 Hearings

If a1275 Hold has been placed on someone's bail, a hearing will be held to determine whether or not the money that will be used to pay the bail is, in fact, from illegal sources. In order to prove that the money is “clean,” a person will need to bring bank and credit card statements, bill payment statements, car payment information, tax returns, and proof of income to their PC 1275 Hearing.

It is advisable to have an attorney and a bail bondsman with you when you appear for your 1275 Hearing. You can also bring anyone with you who can testify as to the source of your income and help give clarity to your financial situation.

Call Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds today for help with your PC 1275 Hearing. (844)400-2245

DUI Laws In National City, California

While driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol is illegal throughout the United States, California has some of the toughest laws for punishing those convicted of DUI charges.

The drunk driving laws for California are found in Vehicle Code Section 23152 and Vehicle Code section 23153, which says that:

  • 23152(a) – It is illegal for anyone who is under the influence of alcohol to operate a vehicle
  • 23152(b) It is illegal for anyone who has a blood alcohol content exceeding 0.08% or more to operate a vehicle.
  • 23152(e) – It is illegal for anyone who is under the influence of drugs to operate a vehicle.
  • 23152(f) – It is illegal for anyone who is under the influence of any combination of drugs or alcohol to operate a vehicle.

In many cases, both the 23152(a) and 23152(b) charges will be filed together.

Public Intoxication (PC 647)(f)

One of the most common charges that result in an arrest is the charge of public intoxication. Public drunkenness is also sometimes referred to as “Drunk & Disorderly” and is often the result of complaints from people associated with or sharing a public space with the person who is drinking or drunk in public.

There is more to being charged with public drunkenness, or drunk and disorderly, than simply drinking and being in public. Generally, an arrest for drunk and disorderly is also associated with fighting or causing some sort of disturbance in public, while also being intoxicated.

If you or someone you care about is arrested for public intoxication, public drunkenness, or drunk and disorderly, call Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds to get out of jail fast. Call (619) 777-7119 or (844) 400-BAIL for drunk and disorderly bail bonds today!
