What to do When the Police Ask for Camera Footage?

O

ver the past 10 or 15 years, cameras have become a major part of our daily lives. They’re on our phones, in our homes, built into doorbells, and even mounted on the dashboards of our cars. We usually don’t give them a second thought until the police request the footage. That’s when we suddenly start to wonder exactly what our rights are.

One of the great things about the American justice system is the bail bonds process. The courts charge an amount of money that they feel will inspire you to make all of your court dates. Once your fate has been determined, you either get the bail money back or it’s used to help cover your court costs and legal fees.

The problem with the bail process is the amount of bail the judge chooses is often more than you can possibly hope to pay. That’s where San Francisco Bail Bond Store enters the picture. Provided you pay us 10% of your bail, we’ll cover the rest of the amount. When your case reaches its conclusion, we keep everything, including the 10% you paid us.

Whether you pay your bail yourself or we assist you, there are a few things you need to know before you sign your bail bond...

Should You Get Bailed Out or Stay in Jail

F

Once the amount of your bail is determined, you have to decide if you want to figure out where you’re going to find the money or if you’d rather sit in jail until your case has worked itself through the incredibly show court system.

It’s not an easy decision.

The Benefits of Staying in Jail

For one reason or another, some people opt to stay in jail. While it seems like an odd choice, there are actually a few benefits to staying put.

The biggest benefit is that if you’re found guilty of the charges, it’s likely that the judge will take the number of days you’ve already spent in the co...
