People Are Losing It Over Footage Showing Rudy Giuliani Walking Into A Bail Bond Joint After Being Arraigned

Reply in thread

I haven’t seen bonds work like that (but I don’t doubt some do). The way they work around me is:

  1. You get a bond for $2000
  2. You go to a bail bondsman and give them the paperwork
  3. You pay 15% of your bond to them ($300 in this case)
  4. That’s it. They keep your $300 and they post your $2000 bail. You don’t get your $300 back when you go to court. But you also don’t get hunted down by a bounty hunter and you don’t get additional charges for skipping as long as you show up for your court date.

edit: my brain stopped working on point 4 as pointed out by @[email protected]

Lol, no he's making that up. Kidnapping does not have a 24 hour requirement. A person doesn't even need to be moved to be guilty of kidnaping: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.20.htm

(2) "Abduct" means to restrain a person with intent to prevent his liberation by:
