If you're already arrested, in custody, then someone else has to post your bond. But, if you are turning yourself in, you can make arrangements to post your own bond before you turn yourself in...hypothetically speaking of course.

Yes, you can. The only problem with that would be if you are found guilty, they usually take your fines out of the bail money. To get around this, you would need to have someone you trust post it in their name. Then when the whole thing is over and your bail money is released, you will get the whole amount back.

Sure. Many people do just that to avoid the cost of a bail bond.

You DO know that you only have to pay 10% of bail, right?

Yes, you can ALWAYS post your own bail/bond. However, that doesn't mean you'll get out - there may be other conditions on your bond.

No, you have to have someone on the outside post it for you. they won't let you out to post your own bail.
