Getting arrested isn't typically something you want to brag about or highlight to the world. Whether you want to protect your job or keep information from family and friends, a bail bond company is often the best solution. Not only will a bail bond company help reduce the costs of a bail payout, but they have specific services to keep things discreet and quiet.
Learn about the various methods and steps a bail bond company takes to protect your private information and journey through the bail bond process. Often you will need one trusted member on the outside to help with the process and keep things on the down-low.
1. Meeting Places
Showing up at a bail bond business or a bail bond company showing up at your home could trigger a lot of speculation and rumors. Keep things discreet when you meet a bail bond company at a neutral location. Bail bond workers can meet up with the person who's been arrested or the co-signer of the bail bond.
The neutral location could include anywhere in your local areas like a library, coffee shop, or a picnic table at a park. A bail bond company has gone through years of experience and understands when clients want to keep things discreet. Choose the meeting place yourself or have the company recommend an ideal location.
You also have the option to complete a majority of communications over the phone. Avoid all in-person communication with a phone conversation that covers a majority of the details. The only in-person needs may include a signature for paperwork.
2. Advance Bail Bond Set-Up
If you have the opportunity to avoid jail time altogether, then you have the option to keep an arrest discreet. In some cases, you may get arrested, released from the court, and charged with a crime or warrant at a later date. During this period, work with a bail bond company to set up your bail ahead of time.
Once turn yourself in, your bond is already taken care of and you will spend any time behind bars. You can go about your everyday life until your next court hearing takes place and you eventually have to go through the sentencing process.
3. Home Monitor Removals
Even more obvious than meeting with a bail bond company and making bail payments would be if you were forced into a court-ordered home monitor system. Often used in DUI and alcohol-related cases, a home monitoring system reads breath for alcohol and you may be forced to test yourself multiple times a day for alcohol content.
When you go through a bail bond company, the company can often set up bail so the monitor is removed from your release. The removal of the monitor allows you to remain discreet and not feel tethered to the monitor for the duration of your court case.
The elimination of a home monitor is common for many bail bond companies and will be their main goal when you use their service. The sooner you connect with a bail bond company, the easier the process will be.
4. 24/7 Services
As you figure out ways to remain discreet, just remember that time is on your side. One of the main ways time is on your side is through 24-hour access to bail bond companies. Just like arrests can happen at any point of the day, a bail bond company is there with workers and representatives to help you.
You do not need to go during work hours or a busy part of the day. Meet with bail bond workers at your convenience and at times that are the most discreet. A bail bond company is very accommodating to your needs and will help you each step of the way.
