Can You Travel While Out On Bail Bonds?
Can You Travel While Out On Bail Bonds?
If you’re out on bail bonds and planning to travel home for the holidays, there are a few things to consider first.
Generally, there are two authorities who can decide whether or not you must stay within the state of your offense: the court, and your bail bondsman.
Before leaving the state, you should directly request written permission to leave the state. You should receive written permissions granting you the ability to leave, and find out what requirements will be upon you if you are granted the request. You should also receive written permission from your bail bondsman.
If you defy the directions that have been given to you about your bail process, you may end up forfeiting your bond and any collateral you have in place. You can also face increased fines and punishments if you are re-arrested.
The purpose of the bond is to ensure you will be in court when you’ve agreed to be, and leaving the state without written permission may have the court questioning your commitment to do so.
Your best bet is always to contact your bail bondsman to ask them about your individual case.
