Can I Be Arrested For an Out of State Warrant?

This is another bail related question found on Yahoo! Answers where we will often reply to many bail related questions and topics.

Question:  I currently have a California warrant. I was wondering if I decide to move to out of state will my warrant show up and if so, how do the authorities find it and will I be arrested?  Also, can a bail bondsman come find me in another state?

Answer:  This is a very common question and as a California bail bondsman I  see this type of situation often.

The answer to your question is Yes, the authorities will find a warrant on anyone who has one nationwide and you will be arrested.  The warrant will show up any time your name and/or drivers license is run.  Furthermore, when someone is arrested they will be finger printed.  These prints are entered into a national crime database, which will flag anyone who is wanted any where within the country.  It will be up to the state and/or county from which the warrant is issued if they want to extradite the defendant, which means they will decide whether or not they want to bring the person back to the state and county of which the warrant derives.  A lot will depend upon the severity of the crime.

Refunded Bail Money

Today’s question is another from Yahoo! Answers, where we answer to many bail related topics.

Question: I bonded out of jail and completed everything.  How can I find out where and how I will receive the money to be refunded to me?

Answer:  If when you bailed out of jail and paid the court directly, you will want to contact the clerk of the court so they can help you with the process to get your bail money returned.  Some things to keep in mind and to consider: 1) if there were any court fees or fines, they will take that from your bail money; 2) you can expect it to take the court 90 days or more to work through your refund.

On the other hand, if you “bonded out”, meaning you used the services of a bail bondsman, the money you paid the bail company is a non-refundable fee. If you put up collateral for the bond, Read more »

What Happens to a Bail Bond When Rearrested?

Today’s topic comes from Yahoo! Answers, where our answer was chosen as “Best Answer” by voters.

Question:  My friend was out on bail from an arrest that happened over the summer and last night she got arrested again. What will happen if the bail bondsman finds out about her new arrest?

Answer:  The first bond remains in place when someone is out on bail and gets arrested again.  It is not likely that your bondsman will be notified unless you call him or her for a new bail bond, which you probably will want to do.

In some cases, the second arrest may cause the defendant to miss the court date on the first case.  If this may be the case for your friend, you should notify the court, or the bondsman if you’re not sure of the court, immediately to avoid a warrant and further problems.

Generally, unless Read more »
