You become a fugitive from justice, and a warrant is issued for your arrest. Depending on the crime, bounty hunters may come after you... and law enforcement agencies are duty-bound to bring you in if they find you, in any case.

∙ 13y agoNot a good idea! Not only do you get an additional criminal charge of "Fugitive from Justice," if your bond was posted by a bailbondsman, you will have a bail agent after you very quickly. If your bond was posted by you personally, a family member, or a friend, you/they will lose the bond money that was posted as it will be forfeited to the court.

How can you avoid losing your money if you post bail for someone and they jump bail?
You can't, it is forfeited to the court - that's what bail is all about. The mone is put up to guarantee the defendants appearance. If he doesn't appear,..... bye-bye bond money. Unless you've already experienced this betrayal by the person you posted for, it is always best to engage the services of a bail bondsman.

What is payment of bail supposed to guarantee?
Bail is imposed to guarantee the person will show up to the next and all subsequent court dates. However, many criminals "jump bail" (become "bail jumpers") and then, Bounty Hunters must search for them to re-arrest the criminal. At that point, a judge might revoke the previous bail OR impose an even higher bail amount. Bail imposition also has to do with the over-crowding of our jail systems. Without bail, charged persons stay in jail (not prison) until they are found guilty, when they are then moved to a prison to spend their sentences. Most charged persons without bail can sit in county jail for 1 to 2 years before their case comes to trial. So bail is designed to help reduce jail populations while also helping to give the person freedom from jail until proven guilty.
