My friend got pulled over for driving while under the influence last night. He is in jail and they said we couldnt bail him out intill he goes to court. Why would they hold you without bail?

FooK

he has to be arraigned so that bail can be set first.

you cant pay for bail if you dont know how much to pay.

s2kdave

But I know people that have posted bail without going to court I couldnt figure it out. However I could also have gotten bad information.

hm, yeah you should be able to bail him out within 12-24 hours, arraigned means have a court date set, and that doesnt have to happen for you to be bailed out, if you have an arraignment it means they have enough info on you to charge you, and they are trying to. my bail was 60,000 dollars, americans most wanted bitches :P

s2kdave

60,000 ---- that. hes my best friend but if his bail is that high he may have to stay in jail.

butterknife

oh dont worry if it's 60 g you only have to pay 6g to get him out thats not to much

Last DUI bail I witnessed was under 2 hours and only cost $10 without a bail bond...

TimeEater

If you use a bail bond which is the 10% you dont get that back. He must have other warrants for them to not let him out. What state are in? I had a $100k bail on me and at the arraignment they dropped it down to 20k but that was for a little more then a DUI.

60k what did you do molest little kids

He may have to see a judge first b4 he can get released on bond. Depends on the state laws.
