California’s Attitude Towards Leashes & Dogs

The issue of leashes is a sensitive subject for many dog owners. Some feel that if their dog is well trained, they shouldn’t be required to keep their dog on a leash. Other’s feel that whenever a dog isn’t on the owner’s private property, the animal should be leashed.

The State of California doesn’t have a formal opinion on the topic. Officially, the state doesn’t have any laws that state dogs have to be on a leash. However, before unclipping your leash from your dog’s collar, you need to check with the local government.

There are several county, city, and townships that do have very strict rules regarding leashes and dogs.

Violating the local rules can land you and your pet in serious trouble.

A perfect example of this is Sacramento County...

Why Do You Get Your Money Back For Bail, But Not Bail Bonds?

Some people who have an understanding of bail and the bail process know that when you pay for someone’s bail, you get the money back after the defendant’s trial is over. Often times, they wonder why they do not get their money back after bailing someone out with a bail bond.

The difference is that when someone gets a bail bond, they are not paying for the bail bond directly. When someone hires a bail agent, they are paying the bail agent to put up the money for the bail. This means that they are paying for the bail agent’s services.

In the case of bail bonds, the bail agent is paying the full amount of the bail to the court, and you are paying the bail agent for doing that...

Did You Know There Is A Difference Between Bail And Bail Bonds?

Many people do not realize that there is actually a difference between bail and bail bonds. The difference between the 2 can equal out to a lot of money.

Bail is determined by a judge, and it is the amount of money that needs to be paid in order for someone to be released from jail. Bail is usually set in the price range of several thousand dollars. It also needs to be paid in full with cash all at once, in order for the person to be released from jail. Most people do not have thousands of dollars just lying around, which is why it is hard for many people to bail their loved ones out all on their own.

It was due to those difficult conditions, that bail bonds came into existence.

Bail Bonds are determined off the price of the bail and are different from state to state...

Do You Know What A Co-Signer Does?

A co-signer is very important for a bail bond. This person is making a promise that the defendant he or she is bailing out, will go to all assigned court appearances. On top of that, the co-signer is paying for the bail bond, and the payment plan greatly depends on the co-signer’s financial situation.

Did you know, there can be more than one co-signer on a bail bond? Well, there can be. In fact, the more co-signers you have, the better the deal you can get on the bail bond. Having more financially stable co-signers gives bail bond companies more confidence in the client, while also dividing up the payments between multiple parties. Having multiple signers can also increase your chances of qualifying for a discount...

Do You Know What The Hardest Part Of Bail Is?

Often times, the hardest part of getting a bail bond for people is making the down payment. While bail bonds are 90% cheaper than paying for the bail itself, getting that first payment together can be difficult. In most cases, a couple hundred dollars is still a lot of money for some people.

In order to make bail bonds more affordable, bail bond companies like Bystrom Bail Bond Store, like to offer their clients personalized payment plans. This breaks up the cost of their bail bond into smaller, more affordable monthly payments. Usually, the initial payment, the one that is required to get your loved one out of jail, is a bit bigger than the other payments. This is in an attempt to reduce the size of all subsequent payments...
