what is the type of bail where the state acts as a bonding agent?

Question

1. bail bonding
2. deposit bail
3. released on recongnizance
4. pretrial release

Answer 1

It would have to be #2 -- but that's only by process of elimination.

ROR (released on own recognizance) is where the court does not set bail.

Pre-trial release applies to any bail situation, or to ROR. It refers to the person being out pending trial.

Bail bonding is where the person pays a fee, and someone else (the bondsman) guarantees their bail.

So, that leaves #2 -- but generally, the state doesn't act as a bonding agent ever. The person either puts up their bail (as a deposit on their return), or someone else guarantees it for them (see bondsman, above).

Answer 2

5 none of the above. The state never acts a a bonding agent. If you pay the full bond, the state holds that money in trust until the case is resolved. They do not act as an agent for the defendant. I suppose the best answer would be own recognizance as there is no money involved and the person mearly gives their word they will show up for court.

Answer 3

Hmmmmmm

1 is where you post a percent of your bail to a bail bondsman who fronts the rest of the money.

2 is where you give the court your deposit as bail and they hold the money pending trial.

3 has nothing to do with bail.

4 has nothing to do with bail.

So I guess it's 2 by process of elimination. It just doesn't sound right the way you've worded it.
