if someone has a warrant for theft, why won't they set them a bail bond???

Answer 1

A warrant isn't a charge, it's a demand for the person to be brought before the judge. If it went to warrant in the first place, the judge probably isn't going to allow bail. That's why you... show up in court. It's not like they ever forget.

Answer 2

Saying that someone has a warrant...Has the person been arrested on the warrant.? Bail will not be set in felony cases until the warrant has been served. If the person has been arrested and is being held without bond, the answers are limitless. The person was on probation and has a probaition hold. The defendant is being held without bond while detectives investigate, either to tie the person to other crimes, or attempting to use the dead time to get the person to implicate others. Could be something mentioned in the arrest report that has the Judge / Magistrate reluctant to set bail. In either circumstance, they charge the person and set bail within 72 hours. It could be cash and or property or "any type bond" where a Porfessional Surety can post bail. If the person has "No Bail" it means somethings wrong....

Answer 3

They will set a bail bond. All you have to do is turn yourself in and attend the bail hearing. Don't wait for them to exercise the arrest warrant if you want a lower bail though.

Answer 4

Bail is set (or denied) based on the judge's determination of whether the defendant is likely to show up at trial, or try to flee.

The severity of the offense is part of the equation -- so are the financial resources of the defendant, whether they have skipped bail before, number of prior convictions, etc.

Answer 5

you get a warrant because you were bailed out and didn't show up on your court dates. so when you get arrested for your warrant they won't let you get bailed out again because they think you won't show up again.
