Well, in NY I can't give you a definite answer. However, some of the rules and decisions regarding bail are federal so they should apply in all states. Since you are the indemnitor, you can surrender your defendant at any time. You have full control over his freedom and can have him re-incarcerated at just about any time. However, in most cases, you must show just cause. Perhaps he or she has made mention they don't intend to go to court, or they are thinking of leaving for a long period of time. As long as you can show just cause, you can surrender his or her bail by briniging him or her to the jail you bailed from, with all of your bail bond paperwork, and book him or her in. Contact a court clerk for specifics though and they should be able to explain it a little more clearly. Lke I said procedures are different averywhere, but that is basically how it should work out.

Well around here if you want to revoke bail you have to bring the person in to custody.

if you revoke the bail then the person must put up the bail amount when you revoke it otherwise there will be an arrest warrant for the person.

Bail is intended to ensure that a person shows up for court so if you have a high flight risk or you are dangerous...you will prolly not be able to have bail....

You have to bring the person into custody in order to recind the bail that you posted. The cops will NOT go looking for them, you have to bring them in yourself.
Good luck!

If your state allows you to do it, you would go ask the court clerk, and they can tell you if possible, most likely you will have to go in front of the judge and explain why.
