When
your child turns 18, his or her juvenile criminal records will be sealed. So it may be that right now, you and your child are coping with their arrest and how it will affect them in the future, but know that when they turn 18, it will be a new chapter for them.

So, parents, if you and your family are going through some tough times right now with your rebellious, somewhat troublesome teenager, we hope that this gives you a little relief, knowing this incident will essentially disappear when they turn 18 and become a legal adult.

Please note that youths cannot post bail, since they are released to their parents and legal guardians. Bail bonds are available for adult arrestees who are eligible for bail. If you happen to know someone who needs one, or if you are going to need one in the future, contact Los Angeles Bail Bond Store.

We can be reached online and at 877-793-2245.

Some
people believe that if they witness a crime, they must report it to the police; if they do not, they themselves are committing a crime. Actually though, in most cases, this is not true. A person may feel the moral obligation to report the crime, but they do not have a legal obligation to do so.

Back to the general rule: if you are an ordinary citizen and you see someone stealing from a store, you are not required to report it. It may be on your conscience, but the police cannot arrest you for not telling them about the incident. If someone else reported the incident, the police may want to question you and get the details of what you may have witnessed. They still will not arrest you for not reporting the crime yourself.

You
know that the police are looking at social media when they are investigating cases. What you may not know is whether they are allowed to do this with or without your consent or a warrant. So, here is what you should know:

• Content posted on public sites and accounts are considered evidence “in plain view” because anyone who has Internet access and access to sites like Facebook can see it. There are no viewing restrictions so the police are free to scour this without a warrant.
• When content is posted on a private account, like a private Facebook account that is only viewable to the user and his or her Facebook friends, then the police need a search warrant to gain viewing access.

People who have been arrested can be eligible for bail. If this happens to someone you know and you want to help bail them out of jail, contact Los Angeles Bail Bond Store online or at 877-793-2245.

California is one step closer to becoming America’s first “sanctuary state.” The country already has 300+ sanctuary cities that vow to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation and help them find security. California’s senate advanced bills that would create a statewide sanctuary for undocumented immigrants.

It is estimated that some 2.3 million illegal immigrants live in California. That is 2.3 million people in California alone who are in danger of being deported by President Trump’s immigration order. If the bills pass, local and state police do not need to fully cooperate with federal immigration authorities. California currently has a number of sanctuary cities such as Berkeley, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Local authorities in these sanctuary cities already do not need to cooperate with federal immigration.

If an immigrant is arrested, they will not automatically be deported. They have rights, such as the right to remain silent, the right to a lawyer, and the right to post bail. These are the same rights an American citizen would have when arrested.

It is possible you may know someone who is here in California illegally. You may be an undocumented immigrant yourself. If you fear for yourself, or someone you know, talk to a lawyer, friends, and family members to get tips on how you can protect yourself and your identity.

In a scary moment, a person should never be afraid to ask for help. In fact, it is in these stressful situations, like getting arrested, that a person wants to be vulnerable and lose a little pride so they can ask their loved ones for help. The embarrassment felt is the least of their worries, trust us.

How do you think a person feels by getting arrested, posting bail, and going to court by themselves? They did not tell their trusted loved ones about this ordeal, and feel lonely because of that fact. It is tough dealing with this on one’s own.

By admitting a wrongdoing to loved ones, and asking for help, friends and family will be right by their side in no time. One can post bail faster with this help. Dealing with the court can be more emotionally doable. This kind of love and support is necessary in times like this.

If you, or a loved one, ever need a bail bond, please contact Los Angeles Bail Bond Store. We will be there to assist you and your loved one through the whole bail bond process.

Bail bond co-signers have a very important role in the release of a defendant. Their role can often also be mentally stressful.

Co-signers are often needed to secure a bail bond. Without a co-signer on a bail bond, the defendant will remain in jail. When a defendant does get a co-signer on their bail bond, then the co-signer has his or her money, valuables, and other collateral at risk. The co-signer must ensure that the defendant shows up for court because if they do not, the collateral that they pledged can be claimed by the bail bond company.

Naturally, the co-signer has rights as well. Most importantly, he or she can withdraw their signature from the bail bond at any time, without consequence to themselves. Of course, the consequence to the defendant is that they would be taken back into custody until they can get another co-signer.

We all know that using cell phones while driving is a no-no. It has been illegal for several years now, but since the original bills were put into effect, the intelligence of smartphones has increased. They can access social media, texts, email, video chat, and have better GPS. It is no secret that we rely on our smartphones for practically everything these days, or that we are on our phones all the time. To keep up with smartphones, new laws regarding cell phone use and driving have been put into place this year, which extend on the existing laws.

The new laws are meant to prevent distracted driving and say that the only phone interaction a driver may have is one single swipe or tap. The laws also state that the phones must be properly mounted to the car.

The minimum punishment if caught disobeying laws is a fine. The maximum punishment; accident, injury, or arrest.

If you, or someone you know, are in need of a bail bond after having been arrested for violating any law, contact LA Bail Bond Store online, or at 877-793-2245.

We will not ask what your stance is on guns, gun laws, and gun ownership, but we do ask that you learn about, and comply, with the new gun laws in California.

These laws went into effect January 1, 2017:

Gun Loans

• Loaning guns to others is mostly illegal now, with the exception of hunting purposes, but still require you to follow the rightful, legal steps. Gun owners may also loan their guns to family members, but only for a limited number of loans. Gun loans must be documented and reported properly.

• Assault Weapons

  The new law says that semi-automatic, centerfire rifles, and semi-automatic pistols that do not have a fixed magazine may not be purchased or sold. This law does not affect gun owners who had previously, legally purchased such weapons before this law was enacted, though they will need to have it registered. This new law essentially fills in a previously existing loophole to another similar law.

You might already know that California has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the U.S. and new gun laws continue to pile on to this, but for good reason. The goal to increase safety and proper use.

If you, or someone you know, are arrested for violating any gun laws in California, or for misusing a gun, please contact LA Bail Bond Store if posting bail is an option.

LA Bail Bond Store can be reached online, or at 877-793-2245.
