By Roger McDonald


When one is suspected of a crime and is arrested, he or she will be taken into custody by the police for questioning or anything of the sort. The regular process of having his mug shot taken, taking his fingerprint as well as his statement will be undergone by the accused. After which, he or she will be placed in jail while waiting for the trial.

Even so, one can issue a bail so that he or she will be freed from prison. Sometimes, however, there are individuals or agencies who will arrange with such court to issue the bail for you so you will be freed from jail. These are called bailbonds Grand Rapids and they require that you give something as a collateral in exchange for paying your bail.

The organization or individual who posted the amount will then assure the authorities that the person he bailed for will show himself in court on the day the hearing is scheduled. In the even that he does not reveal himself, a bounty hunter shall be hired to hunt the person. There are several kinds of bondsmen who serve different purposes.

General bail bondsmen or surety bail bondsmen are who provide for people that are accused of a variety of crimes from driving citations to murder. They are most often licensed by state government. They will also be allowed to ask for a little percentage from the amount that they paid but that would still depend on state laws.

Federal bonds are granted to those charged of federal crimes like counterfeiting and tax evasion. They would not just guarantee that the defendant appears in court but also guarantees that he undergoes the pre trial process which includes regular drug tests. If she or he does not follow, the money could be forfeited.

Many do not really provide such service because there is a chance for the defendant to fail in the pre trial procedures. That is why collaterals for this kind are of higher value. Federal bondsmen are well informed and educated about the systems of federal court as well as laws of the state.

There is another one under federal which is the immigration bond, except that it only applies to those who are under the custody of immigration detention facilities. This means that they are not from the state where they were caught. There are not many who do away with this type of service.
