It’s a call that no one expects. They always seem to come in the middle of the night. The phone rings, you answer it and someone you love tells you that they’ve been arrested. The statement is usually followed by a request for help with bail.
When you find yourself on the receiving end of this type of call there are a few things you need to keep in mind.
Take The Time To Write Down Everything
It’s a collect call, so you want to hurry the process along as much as possible, but don’t be in such a hurry that you fail to get important information. Don’t assume that you’ll remember everything you’re told. Find a pen and piece of paper and write down:
- When your loved one was arrested.
- Where they’re currently at.
- They’re full name/social security number.
- What type of crime they’ve been charged with?
- How much bail do they need?
Only ask for important and relatively basic information that relates directly to the arrest. You don’t want to ask questions such as, did they actually commit the crime they’ve been charged with, because the answer could harm your loved one’s eventual defense. The police monitor all outbound calls which means that anything your loved one says on the phone could be used against them.
During the phone call, it’s important that you remain calm and collected. This isn’t the time to lose your temper or to sling accusations.
Decide How You Want To Handle Bail
If you’ve been asked to help out with bail, it’s up to you to decide if this is something you want to be responsible for. Don’t leap to a decision. The California bail process is complicated. It’s in your best interest to talk to someone who has a solid understanding of how bail works and what your options are.
