It is, unfortunately, fairly common for people out on probation to be arrested for another offense. This raises a question bail bond agents hear all the time: "Can I post bail if I violate my probation?" As is the case with most things related to the law, the answer is "It depends on the circumstances."

What Happens if Someone Violates Probation in Denver County?

If you violate the terms of your probation by committing a crime in Colorado...

When a person has been arrested there’s a lot going through their mind and it can sometimes be difficult to take a step back, take a breath and make sound decisions. One mistake a lot of people who have been arrested in Denver County, Golden, and elsewhere in Colorado make is deciding to act as their own bail bond agent by paying their own bail. Certainly, if they have the means it’s entirely legal for them to do so, but just because you can...

Let's say you or a loved one has been arrested for something that requires a fairly large amount of bail. But neither you nor your family members have enough cash to give the bail bond agent in Denver County for the surety bond (typically 10% of the full bail amount). What are you supposed to do? Fortunately, most bonding companies will accept collateral in lieu of cash. But what sort of assets can be used for bail? Below we'll look at seven...

When it was first proposed taxpayers were told bail reform would provide a long-overdue fix for the central problem with the bail system. That being that people who could not afford to work with a bail bond agent sometimes sat in jail for prolonged periods of time while others accused of the same crime walked free simply because they could afford bail.

Most people would agree fixing that discrepancy would be a worthwhile undertaking. Bail ...

Yellow and blue magnet letters spelling 'truth' on flat layer of burlap cloth

For over a decade concerned public officials, law enforcement agencies and others have been warning about the slow-motion disaster known as "bail reform." For just as long their concerns and warnings have been ignored by a mainstream media that has collectively drank the bail reform Kool Aid and dismissed concerns about a surge in “failure to appear” cases and crime waves as not being supported by the “facts” or worse, as outright racism. Yet...

Golden Gate Bridge and surrounding water in San Fransisco, California

In 2019 voters in San Francisco narrowly elected one Chesa Boudin as their new district attorney. Boudin was an anti-bonding company zealot who had been a public defender but had zero experience when it came to prosecuting criminals. Nonetheless, he was now the chief law enforcement official in the City by the Bay.

Boudin, however, was not totally unfamiliar with the workings of the judicial system. His pa...

Chicago Theater, skyscrapers and traffic in downtown Chicago, Illinois on cloudy day

Chicago has a well-earned reputation for being the murder capital of the US. Last year alone some 800 individuals were murdered in Chicago, nearly double the number murdered in New York City, a city more than three times as large. Those 800 murders last year represent a significant uptick from previous years and just happen to coincide with Illinois eliminating cash bail and essentially outlawing the bail bond agent at the start of 2021.

Anytime you bail out a friend or loved one you’re taking a chance. If the accused heads for the hills after being released and is never heard from again you are going to lose and lose big. If you paid cash instead of using a bondsman that cash will be forfeited. If you posted a property bond the court may foreclose on your house and sell it to get the bail amount, and if you enlisted the help of a bail bonds agent they are going to come knockin...

Although those in favor of eliminating the centuries-old bail bonds system suffered a much deserved setback last year in the Colorado state senate, that hasn’t stopped them from trying to saddle taxpayers with their backward, short-sighted ideas. In fact, as you read this lobbyists are working the corridors of power in Denver trying to get legislators behind new efforts to eliminate cash bail.
