Know Your Rights

Know Your Rights

Inmates are people too. Regardless of the crime committed or the time left to serve on their sentence, inmates are human beings that deserve to be treated as such. Across the nation, inmates are granted basic human rights that are protected by the U.S. Constitution. Whether you are facing prosecution or you have a family member behind bars, it is important to know your rights.

These are rights protected by the U.S. Constitution that you should be aware of.

• The right to humane facilities and conditions – While awaiting trial, an inmate must be housed in proper facilities and cannot be treated as guilty.
• The right to be free from sexual crimes – A prisoner cannot become the victim of sexual crimes or sexual harassment. This is protected by the Prison Rape Elimination Act...

Know That You Have the Right to Bail?

Know That You Have the Right to Bail?

Here in the United States of America, everyone has rights. We are a free country, and we all greatly appreciate that freedom. This is one of the reasons why no one likes getting arrested and put into a jail cell. This takes away a person’s freedom and ability to live their life while they are on trial. At this point, they are being punished for a crime that they haven’t been convicted for.

This is why everyone has the right to bail out of jail. Let Bail Bonds in San Francisco help you exercise that right. We will help you post bail with a bail bond. This will reduce the cost of the bail, and make it much more affordable for you.

Everyone has the Right to Bail

Everyone has the Right to Bail

Here in the US, everyone has the right to bail in most cases. Of course, there are a few instances when bail can be denied, but for the most part are granted the opportunity to post bail. This is great, because it allows a defendant to stay out of jail during the trial period, which opens them up to so many opportunities. This is why, if someone you know has been arrested and granted bail, you should help them.

When a person bails out of jail, they will be free for the remainder of their trial period. Once the trial is completed, they will either be free to go if they were found innocent, or arrested and taken into custody if they are found guilty. This freedom during the trail, helps a defendant avoid being punished for a crime that they have not been found guilty of...

Understanding the Miranda Rights

The right to remain silent and the right to have a lawyer represent you are two rights every arrested person has. These are the Miranda Rights, which the police are required to read to every arrestee.

The Miranda Rights are named after Ernesto Miranda, who was arrested in the 1960s and accused of kidnapping, rape, and robbery. During his trial, it was revealed that the police used intense and intimidating interrogation methods to lead him to confess. The court found this unjust and unfair, so his conviction was overturned. After additional evidence and eyewitnesses, he was eventually found guilty once again.

Miranda’s case, along with another in the 1960s, Escobedo vs. Illinois, brought about the Miranda Rights...

When Can You Turn the Police Away?

Not enough people in the United States know their rights when it comes to police searches and seizures, and this is a problem. Some people get so intimidated around the police, even if they did nothing wrong. Others just do not know if and when police are overstepping their authority. There are certain rights people have that protect them, even against the police, such as when they can say “no” to a police search.

Law enforcement officers do not always have the right to conduct a search. First, the police must have reasonable suspicion that a crime has occurred or will occur. If they ask to search a person, his or her belongings, and/ or his or her home or vehicle, the person can deny the police. Then, the police must get a search warrant from a judge in order to move forward...

When Law Enforcement Does Not Need a Warrant to Search Your Cell Phone

Have you ever traveled internationally and then upon returning to the United States, been asked by border control for your cell phone? Whether this has happened to you or not, you probably wonder if you are required to give it to them, and whether they are violating your rights and privacy.

This has happened to a small percentage of travelers, but the percentage has risen sharply since 2015. Due to this increase, Congress was introduced with a new bill that would limit United States border agents when it comes to searching cell phones of Americans who are returning to the country. The new bill, if passed, would require the border agent to have probable cause, at the least, to search and even seize a cell phone.

Even if the bill is not passed, the United States border agents do have the ri...

What Are Your Rights as an Airline Passenger?

The recent United Airlines incident involving a man being dragged off his overbooked flight has everyone wondering what their rights are in this kind of situation. The flight, heading to Louisville, KY from Chicago, IL, was overbooked. No passenger volunteered to give up their seat, even after the airline offered accommodations and up to $800 in cash. At this point, they had to select 4 people to deplane. One man who was selected, refused to get off. Security officials were then called to escort the man off the plane, and the situation spiraled downward from there. As seen on cell phone footage, the passenger was forcibly removed from his seat. His head was knocked against an armrest and then he was dragged down the aisle, off the plane.

This incident brought heavy backlash against Unite...
