The mere arrest can totally disrupt your life. Lost job if you miss work. Loss of trust with friends and family. Lost money if you can afford bail. Confusion in your kids if you suddenly have to get someone to pick them up from school that day, and arrange for care. Record of arrest.
- slededit 10y agoBail is the opposite. If you can afford it you get the money back if you show up to your court date. If you can't you go to a Bail bondsman and pay 10% up front - but you don't get it back at all.
- a3n 10y agoThanks for the correction. I did mean being able to afford a bail bondsman, which many people can't and so sit in jail needlessly.
