What’s That On The Roofs Of Houses?

What’s That On The Roofs Of Houses?

California is leading the nation when it comes to greener and cleaner energy use. It’s like a life style almost in California. With large cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, it is no wonder we want to regulate what emissions we’re putting out in the world. That is why it comes as no surprise that California is becoming one of the first states to require solar panels on newly constructed houses.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) support the passing of a mandate that will require any new single home to have solar panels or solar arrays.

It won’t just be single resident housing, multi-family buildings up to three stories will have to follow the mandate as well. The CEC voted for this proposal in May this year, and the measure was unanimously approved...

Did You Know Driving Too Slow Is Against The Law?

Did You Know Driving Too Slow Is Against The Law?

Nothing is worse than someone in a hurry tailgating you. You try to let them pass, but they seem adamant about following directly behind you. You get mad, and then think to yourself you’ll just slow down a little and then maybe then they’ll pass you and you can continue on your drive. The next thing you know you’re driving below the speed limit, and the guy passes you. Then you see some red and blue lights in your rear view mirror. You certainly can’t be in trouble, can you?

California has a Basic Speed Law.

This means that you can’t drive faster than what is posted but you also can’t drive too slow that you’re impeding traffic. Other states like Texas and Oklahoma have minimum speed limits posted, as well as a maximum. However, California does not...

Can I Get In Trouble For Not Reporting A Crime I Just Witnessed?

Modesto Bail Bonds

When a crime occurs and you’re around to witness it, do you have to report it to the police? Is it a moral obligation or a legal one? Most people don’t really know where the line is drawn. Sometimes no, you don’t legally have to report it, but other times, yes you do.

If you assisted another person in his or her crime, but did not actually commit the crime yourself, you can be charged if you know of the illegal plan and helped facilitate it. This can be disabling a security camera while the main suspect robs a bank.

If you witness someone committing a violent crime (rape, sexual assault, etc.) against a child 14 years or younger, you must report the crime. Failure to do so can lead to jail time and/or a fine for you.

If you are a particular professional (such as an educator, social...

Get Ahead On Bail Bond Payments Using Your Tax Returns

Hughson Bail Bonds

Tax returns are treated like free money. Most people either put it into their savings account or treat themselves to something nice. Some people may choose to use it to pay off a bail bond, which is definitely acceptable.

A part of what makes bail bonds more flexible and a more ideal alternative to paying for bail, is that it can be paid off with cash, credit, debit, and checks. This means that when a person receives their tax return and deposits it into their account, they can then write a check, cash it, or apply it to a debit or credit charge for a bail bond payment. Tax returns can get a person ahead in their bail bond payments.

Keep track of bail bond payments and do not fall behind. Hughson Bail Bond Store will be with you each step of the process so you don’t have to try understan...

Out On Bail Will More Likely Appear For Court

Hughson Bail Bonds

Did you know that a person who is out on bail is more likely to show up for their court dates? One of the biggest reasons this is true is that their current release could not have happened if it were not for the bail bond co-signer and/or anyone who pledged collateral.

If the defendant fails to appear in court, the co-signer feels the consequences and the collateral is taken away. So loved ones are betting on the defendant to show up in court; the defendant does not want to let their loved ones down. They want to prove to them and to everyone that they can handle this situation maturely and responsibly. This is why they are more likely to show up for court. When you bail a friend or family member out of jail, you become a part of that person’s support group...

Texting And Driving? Too Much, New Laws

Hughson Bail Bonds

Let us be real, these days, texting and driving is no longer texting and driving. It is more like social media-ing and driving, or navigating maps and driving, because smart phones have come so far in just a few years. This has caused driving and cell phone laws to be expanded, starting this year.

Starting this year, cell phones must be mounted to the dash, the lower left or upper left corner of the windshield, if the driver wishes to use it while driving. With it mounted, the driver may make one single tap or swipe on the phone.

Other laws regarding cell phone use while driving still exist of course, but the new ones just expanded on them.

The goal is to reduce distracted driving and consequences of such instances like accidents and arrests.

Hughson Bail Bond Store believes in safety fir...
