Our Favorite, Wacky Laws in America

riverside-county-bail-bonds-957

Bored at work and want some fun? Try some light reading to educate yourself with some tips for when you travel to different states across America. We have compiled some of America’s wackiest, most absurd laws that are still in effect today. They probably are not heavily enforced thanks to how ridiculous they are, but if they are enforced, you can technically be fined or arrested.

  • In Alaska, you cannot give a moose a beer. So do not bother inviting them to your house party.
  • In California, no driver-less vehicle can go faster than 60 miles per hour. Yet, a driver-less vehicle going 59 miles per hour on the road is fine, because it is totally safe.
  • In Connecticut, a pickle will achieve true pickle status only if it bounces. If it does not bounce, it cannot be called a pickle. Be ready for that 5 second rule to grab that pickle or non-pickle after its bounce!
  • In Idaho, you will get up to 14 years in prison for cannibalism – that sounds about right. However, if you had to kill and eat your friend to survive, you know, survival of the fittest, then you are off the hook.
  • In Illinois, you may not fall asleep in a cheese factory, bake shop, candy store, or ice cream shop. If you want to dream about food, do it at home.
  • In New Jersey, if you are going to commit murder, do not wear a bulletproof vest. It is illegal to wear the vest during this act, which actually also makes the fight more fair. PS: it is also illegal to commit murder, in case you did not know.
  • In Ohio, you cannot give alcohol to a fish. They are probably fine with their regular tank water anyway.
  • In South Carolina, you must be at least 18 years of age to use a pinball machine. That is when the fun begins.
  • In Virginia, you and the other person must be true lovers and be able to prove it if you want to have sex. If you cannot prove that, then you can be fined. Good luck with that, it is hard enough to prove to your significant other how true your love is.

Is your head kind of raw from all the head-scratching you just did? Ours too. Remember, you probably will not get arrested for these crimes but if you do, you cannot say we did not warn you!

If you, or someone you know, has been arrested in California for letting your car, without you in the driver seat, go 60 miles or faster or has been arrested for any other crime that makes sense, please contact Riverside County Bail Bond Store. We are here to help you or your loved one get out of jail and back home quickly!

You Can Vote While Out On Bail

riverside-county-bail-bonds-956

American’s are getting pretty antsy now as the 2016 Presidential election draws nearer and nearer. Vote-by-mail instructions have already started going out to many, an indication that voting will happen in no time! There are certain requirements to be eligible to vote, the obvious being at least 18 years of age, actively registered to vote, and a U.S. citizen. However, there are a couple of lesser known restrictions because they do not affect everyone.

  1. If a court finds a person to be mentally incompetent, they may not vote.
  2. If a person is currently in jail or on parole at the time of the election, they may not vote. However, if they have previously been in jail, have been released, and are no longer on parole, then they automatically regain their right to vote, if they were already registered to vote.

All eligible Americans are encouraged to exercise their right to vote and this upcoming presidential election is a big one.

If you need a bail bond now, or sometime down the road, Riverside County Bail Bond Store can help get you out of jail. You will be eligible to vote while out on bail!

Riverside County Bail Bond Store can be reached 24/7 online or on the phone at 800-793-2245.

Can Bail Ever Be Lowered?

riverside-county-bail-bonds-891

It is not often a judge will lower a bail amount after it has been formally announced, but every now and then it does happen. It happened recently for an Orange County, CA man: Henry Rodriguez.

Rodriguez was arrested in 1998 for double murder and his bail was set at $1 million. Today, he is still in custody but his bail now sits at $500,000. Here is what has happened since his arrest:

Rodriguez was originally convicted but then granted a new trial in 2003 because investigators never informed Rodriguez of his right to remain silent; his Miranda Rights. They had illegally coerced a confession from him.

Rodriguez was convicted again at the conclusion of his second trial, but the defense claimed there was a jailhouse informant, and the prosecution did not turn over records of this informant. Rodriguez was granted a third trial, which he now waits for.

His bail has been cut in half partially due to the extent of time that has passed and the illegal trial-related instances that happened during that time. Rodriguez has the right to a fair trial – and the right to bail. Maybe now he has a better shot at posting bail.

No matter what the bail amount is, Riverside County Bail Bond Store will always try to help you bail your loved one out of jail. We hate seeing defendants in custody for any amount of time and in Rodriguez’s case, almost 2 decades. So, we work to get them out.

If you ever need bail bond help, please contact us online for immediate assistance or call us at 800-793-2245.

More People Use Bail Bonds to Get Out Of Jail

riverside-county-bail-bonds-852

The demand for bail bond release has been growing over recent years and it shows no sign of slowing down. As more people continue to be arrested, and less people are able to afford bail due to income issues, more and more families and friends approach Riverside County Bail Bond Store Bail Bonds for professional bail bond assistance.

Bail bonds help get defendants out of jail at a more affordable rate, but they still have some restrictions. For example, the 10% premium paid to the bail bond company is non-refundable, you may also need to get a co-signer on the bail bond, and you might have to pledge some form of collateral to back the bail bond.

Bail bonds are easily available for all Californians through Riverside County Bail Bond Store. The sooner you get started, the sooner your loved one will be out of jail!

Please contact a bail agent right now online or call 800-793-2245 to learn more and get started.

What Do You Mean Bail Bonds Can Put You In Jail?

riverside-county-bail-bonds-851

Bail bonds have the power to get people of out of jail, but, in another dimension of thought, they can also get people into trouble and in jail. What we mean is illegal bail bond soliciting.

Take for example, ‘Leonard Jimmy Ramirez’, a former LAPD jail employee. He is accused of selling inmate information to a bail bond company in Van Nuys, California. The bail bond company, who now has this confidential information, will then reach out to the inmates’ friends and family to sell their services and begin bail bond contracts. This illegal process is formally known as “bail capping.” Within this, bribery and leaking of confidential information occurs.

Both Ramirez and the owners of the bail bond company are charged with felonies; Ramirez faces up to almost 5 years in state prison while the bail bond owners face up to 3, if convicted.

So, this is what we mean when we say that bail bonds can land someone in jail too. Bail bond companies cannot bribe existing clients to refer their services to fellow arrestees. They also cannot bribe others to steal confidential information of arrestees. This affects the reliability and honesty of the bail bond company.

If you need a respectable bail bonds company to help get your loved one out of jail in a 100% legal way, contact Riverside County Bail Bond Store today! We promise to take care of you in a professional and compassionate manner.

Please contact Riverside County Bail Bond Store by calling 800-793-2245 or by chatting with a representative online now.

Drinking and Driving Is Never a Good Idea

riverside-county-bail-bonds-742

There will never be too many warnings against drinking and driving because, even though we are constantly reminded of this message, people do it anyway. They think they are good at driving, even while under the influence. That they will not get into an accident, or they won’t be pulled over. People continue to drive after having drinks.

However, people do get into accidents and get pulled over. These people too thought it would not happen to them. Some end up in the hospital, some in jail, and the worst cases – a deathbed. Imagine what that person’s family and friends go through. Imagine if it was you.

There are so many alternatives to driving – a taxi, ‘Uber’, ‘Lyft’, the bus, a sober designated driver. Call someone to pick you up. You can even call the cops to drive you home. If you are hammered, definitely do not drive. If you had one drink, think twice about getting behind the wheel. This is a responsibility you need to take for yourself and for others, because getting behind the wheel while drunk puts others at risk too. On top of that, do not let your friends and family members drive home drunk either.

Do you want to end up in jail? Do you want to have this mark on your record? Do you want to have to pay to get out of jail? Definitely not.

Here at Riverside County Bail Bond Store, we are all too familiar with drunk drivers – we bail them out of jail. We dislike the situation, but we will not hesitate to get them out of jail, and we will not hesitate to do the same for you.

What Is a Search Warrant, and When Is It Needed

riverside-county-bail-bonds-741

If the police, while investigating a criminal matter, need to look through your property and belongings, they will often need a search warrant, unless you freely grant them permission to search. To get a search warrant, they will approach a judge and explain why a search warrant is necessary, e.g., reasonable suspicion that you have knowledge of or are directly involved with a crime. If the judge signs off, the police will hand the search warrant to you, and you must step aside from there. The police are free to search areas and seize items listed in the search warrant.

    There are a few situations where officers will not need a search warrant:

  • As mentioned, if you allow them to search
  • If they see something incriminating that is in plain view
  • When they search you after arresting you
  • When they suspect something of you and stop and quickly search you

Know your rights. Remember, you can refuse the police officers’ request to search if they ask without having a warrant; they will need to come back with a warrant.

If you have been arrested for a crime, Riverside County Bail Bond Store can help bail you out of jail. We offer low monthly rate payment plans for our bail bonds and we are capable of working with people in all kinds of financial situations.

Get a free consultation from our representatives; chat with us online or call us at 800-793-2245 to see how we can help you out.
