§ 72302 Felony Arrest Bail Acceptance

Key Takeaways

•If someone is arrested for a serious crime (felony) because a judge signed a paper (warrant) saying so,
•The court worker (clerk) can take money (bail) from the arrested person to let them go free until their court date.
•The amount of money (bail) is already decided and written on the judge's paper (warrant).
•This rule was updated in 1998 to make sure it's clear how bail works in these cases.

Example

John is arrested because a judge signed a paper saying he might have stolen a car.

The court worker can take the bail money (let's say $50,000) from John or his family, and then John can go home until his trial. The amount ($50,000) was already written on the judge's paper.

If a defendant has been arrested for felony upon a warrant issued by a judge of that court, the clerk may, under like conditions, accept bail in the amount fixed in the warrant. (Amended by Stats. 1998, Ch. 931, Sec. 329. Effective September 28, 1998.)
