The concept
of the ‘Bail Bonds’ has basically emerged from the United States and the State
of California, where the Constitution binds accused criminals to pay a
reasonable bail amount for their release from the jail with certain limitations
which may include – the level of the crime, the history of the accused, prior
warrants and the flight risk. Additionally, the court also wants an assurance
that the suspect will appear in the court on his respective hearings for the
trial.
In some
cases, it becomes difficult for a suspect to arrange the bail money set by the
court, here is where he/she needs to take the edge of Owasso Oklahoma bail Bonds.
The bail bonding agencies promise to pay the bail amount to the court on the
behalf of the defendant for his/her release from the jail and also give an
assurance to the court that the accused will appear in the court on the set
dates.
Under Owasso
Oklahoma bail bonds’ contract, the defendant has to pay a fee, which usually
amounts 10% of the total bail that the agency pays to the court on his behalf. If the defendant attends all the court
hearings on the set dates, the court pays back the fee that goes to the bail
bond agency. In case, the accused individual fails to appear in the court on
the set dates, the bail bonding agent will have to forfeit the money he
submitted on his behalf.
For the
recovery of the amount, the bail bonding agency can hire the bounty hunters to
find the defendant and it can also sue him in the court for the recovery of the
unpaid amount. Another way the Owasso Oklahoma bail bonds agencies can recover
their unpaid amount is, claiming all the assets owned by the suspect and the
people who signed a contract to provide financial assistance to the escapee.
