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.

Not all who are arrested are given the opportunity to be released on own recognizance, which is when a defendant signs formal papers promising to show up for court, then is released from jail. Most defendants are granted bail, meaning they have to pay money to the court in order to be released from jail. Some are denied bail altogether. What factors determine own recognizance and bail?

Who determines: The judge.

What factors contribute: A defendant’s prior criminal record, the current crime he or she is accused of, the ties and relationships the defendant has to others in the community, and their financial ability to pay for bail.

As you can probably guess, if a defendant has virtually no prior criminal history, has strong ties to the community, and the crime he or she is accused of is not very serious, then this defendant has a much better chance at being granted own recognizance release. It is not guaranteed, but the chances are certainly better.

For those who are granted bail, there are two options: cash bail, or a bail bond where a third party bail bond company steps in to assist. Before making a rash decision and going the cash bail route, please contact Los Angeles Bail Bond Store. We will help you understand more about the bail bond industry and how our company can benefit you. We can help you save money and get you, or your loved one, bailed out of jail faster. It takes just a few minutes to contact Los Angeles Bail Bond Store for a free consultation. You will not regret it.

There are different proceedings, rights, and consequences for someone 17 or younger who gets arrested versus someone 18 or older who is arrested. In most states, anyone 17 or younger is called a juvenile, and when they turn 18, they are called an adult. The differences are due to the fact that juveniles have less understanding of the law and are still considered minors.

• Juvenile hearings are heard by judges only, whereas an adult has a trial by a jury.
• Juveniles do not have the right to bail; they are released to the custody of their parents or legal guardians. Adults may be granted or denied bail.
• Juveniles do not have a public trial.
• On his or her 18th birthday, juvenile records are automatically sealed. So when they become an adult, their criminal record appears clean. However, the juvenile records still exist, but people who look into background history, like landlords and employers, cannot see these records.

Understanding these basic differences can help a great deal if you are suddenly in the middle of a situation yourself. If you, or your loved one, are 18 or over and has been granted bail, we strongly suggest you post bail with a bail bond from Los Angeles Bail Bond Store. Bail bonds are more affordable and, thus, more ideal to use than cash bail.
