Who can revoke bail?

What if you only posted 10 percent of a bail and the person jumps bail what are the consequences for you?
You lose the ENTIRE bail amount (i.e.: if the bail was $10,000 and you put up $1,000. you will lose the entire $10,000.). The money bond was an insurance policy that the person show up in court. If they left you holding the bag..... too bad. Now you know why bailbondsmen hire bounty hunters. ------------------------- It depends on the type of bail the court requires the defendant to post. In most cases, the type of bail that requires a defendant to post 10--15% of the bond is called a corporate surety bail bond. In this case, the defendant pays the bail bond company 10--15% of the bond amount and, in return, the bail bond company insures the defendant's appearance in court for all hearings and trial. The bail bond company does not actually provide the court officials the amount of the bond; it merely guarantees the defendant's appearance. If the defendant "skips out" and fails to appear, the bail bond company will have to pay the bond amount to the court. Recently, courts have allowed some defendants to pay a percentage of the bond amount directly to the court in lieu of obtaining a corporate surety bond. So, if the bond amount set by the court is, say, $10,000 and the usual percentage is 10%, the court will accept $1000 cash in lieu of a corporate surety bond. If the defendant fails to appear, he or she loses the cash they provided as bail. If the defendant makes all required appearances, the money is usually refunded one the case is adjudicated.

What is the role of a bail bondsman?
A bail bondsman or bail bond company is an individual or company that is licensed by the state to provide corporate surety bail bonds in criminal cases. A licensed bail bond company enters into an agreement with the defendant and the court. The defendant pays the bail bond company a fee, usually 10--15% of the bond amount set by the court. The bail bond company agrees to pay the court the amount of the bond if the defendant fails to appear for trial at any point that he is out on bail. The bail bond company does not actually provide the bond amount unless the defendant fails to appear. Sometimes the court will require that a defendant obtain a corporate surety bail bond even if he has the assets to put up for bail. This is usually done when the defendant has access to a considerable amount of assets, say proceeds from an illegal activity, and the court wants a third party to guarantee the defendant's appearance. Bail bond companies don't like to pay bonds when their clients "skip" trial, and will pursue the defendant relentlessly. For that reason, some judges will order a defendant held pending establishment of a corporate surety bond. Also, most bail bond companies don't actually have the funds on hand. They are financed by finance companies who specialize in providing such bonds. If the defendant fails to appear and is declared a fugitive, the financing company is the one who actually provides the funds. However, the bail bond company is still obligated to the financing company. If the amount of bond is high, most bail bondsmen will require the defendant, or someone willing to assist the defendant, to put up an asset as collateral. This quite often is real estate, in which case the defendant mortgages his property to the bail bondsman. In some jurisdiction, the court will allow the defendant to pay to the court the usual percentage in lieu of obtaining a bond. So, if the court sets the bond amount at, say, $10,000, the defendant can pay the court $1000 cash in lieu of obtaining the bond. In most cases, the defendant receives a refund of the cash amount once his case has been adjudicated. This usually only happens when the risk-of-flight of the defendant is considered minimal.

Does a bail bondsman pay the entire bond amount?

What is the purpose of paying bail without using a bail bondsman?
When you use a bondsman to pay, say $10,000 bail, he usually charges 10%. You pay $1,000 to him. He then pays the court $10,000 (your bail). When you return to court and get convicted/released he gets his $10,000 back. He made $1,000. If you pay the $10,000 bond, you get the $10,000 back. Thus saving you the 10% (minus any court costs/fines). So if you can afford it, pay the bond yourself, it's cheaper.
