How Much is Bail for Manufacturing Drugs?
There are certain factors to be considered for setting the bail amount for drug manufacturing. Bail amounts are not the same across all charges. Bail will depend on the type of drug manufactured, the cost and the number of offenses the person has committed. If you get caught with the possession of a weed plant weighing less than 100g, a bond may be unnecessary, but you will be fine for a misdemeanor that typically costs $150. However, if you are caught with 40 plants, you can expect for a much higher bail amount.
How do Bail Bonds Work?
A bail bond is offered by a bond company that is being taken care of by a bail bondsman. The judge is typically the one who sets the bail. If the arrested person cannot provide the amount, he then goes to a bail guarantor who can handle the bail. In most cases, the convicted should pay the bond company 10% of the total bail amount.
Why Are Bail Bonds Set?
Bail is an amount of money set by the court to ensure that the defendant will return to the court during his or her court hearing. Once the bond is posted, then the defendant can go home and prepare for his future court proceedings. If the defendant fails to return or show up in court, the bond company will be the one to pay the bail amount.
Bail can be paid in cash, however, most often than not, they are set at a high amount, that defendants cannot pay them on their own, so they go to a bail bond company.
