No, if you use a bail bondsman, you have to give them usually 10% of the bail. This is their money no matter what. Now, if you go to the station, and post a cash bond, for like a moving violation, then that can be used to pay the fine. the cash bond price is usually the fine.
Wouldnt hurt to call and make sure before you find yourself in a major bind. Judges dont like it when you dont show up for them.

Depending on the state/city/county you are arrested in, the bail or bond you post for you to get out of jail usually go towards your fines. Very rarely do people see their money back for a warrant being issued.

Ok, if you use a bails bondmen, the money you pay them , does not come back, it is thier fee to post the bond for you.
If you personally post the bond with the court, after you appear for trail, they will refund the money but not that day.
Normally you can make arrangements to pay the fine latter and use it, but it does not transfer automaticly or really at all.

Not directly. But once the bail money is returned to you, when you show up, you can turn around and give it back to pay the fine.
And if you tell the judge that's what you plan to do, the judge may be willing to set the time of payment to correspond to when you get the bail money back. But that's up to the judge.

Anythings possible but the judge would make the final decision regarding that question!
