DUI Bail Bonds

DUI Arrest and Bail

Arrests for DUI’s are relatively common in the United States. Police officers at the scene of a crash or DUI arrest will act with increased scrutiny. Following an arrest, detainees are held until a bail amount is decided upon. The bail judgment depends on the severity of the crime and the history of the detainee. Once a bail amount is set, the detainee may post bail and leave detention, usually under strict conditions such as appearing for their court hearing and agreeing to avoid any sort of criminal activity in the meantime. In some cases, a detainee’s license will be revoked until their hearing. Should a detainee forfeit the conditions of their bail (driving without a license, etc.), they forfeit the bail they posted.

Additional Bail Requirements

DUI bail bonds are generally available to individuals who have been arrested for driving under the influence in Covington. That being said, there may be additional stipulations attached to a DUI release that might not be seen in other forms of bail release. Very often, if a license is not revoked, individuals who have been arrested for DUI are required to install a device that checks blood alcohol levels before you can start your car. This makes sure you do not drive drunk and keeps other drivers on the road safe. You may also be required to attend some type of counseling program or group to further mitigate the likelihood of a repeat offense while out on bail.
