Behind Los Angeles County and San Diego County, Orange County is the third most populous county in the state of California, with just over 3 million people within. With that amount of people in the county, there is a substantial amount of crimes committed that require the services of a professional Orange County bail bonds company like Premiere Bail Bonds.
We are often asked how the courts assign bail bond fees and penalties for certain categories of crime. In Orange County, the judges get together once a year, review the bail schedule and then they set the various penalties, bails and fees and then it gets published as a PDF on their website. (See the 2012 Judicial Council Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule PDF.)
A few years ago, our team at Premiere Bail Bonds took the information from the annual revisions of the bail bonds fees and put out our pocket-sized own version for criminal justice lawyers in Orange County. We copied the information, rewrote it into a more user-friendly format and packaged it as a pocket-sized version that an attorney could keep handy in their briefcase or jacket pocket when needing a reference for bail fees.
There are a lot of different bails for various categories. For instance, for burglary and theft‑type charges, that could amount to felony burglary. It could be misdemeanor. It could be petty theft, somebody stealing something from a Best Buy or whatever. It could be receiving stolen property, which is a common charge. That’s usually somebody buying a stolen TV off Craigslist or a garage sale that was somebody else’s.
There are different bail bond amounts for different drug possession charges. There are also bails for transportation for sales charges. Those are usually guys that go buy drugs that are more than ‘personal possession’. If it’s more than you can use basically at one time, then that charge is accorded as transportation for sales.
