Q: Is the defendant permitted to leave the state and/or the country while out on bond?
A: A written permission agreement from the bonding office is necessary before any plans are made to leave.

Q: What will happen if the defendant gets arrested again while out on bail?

Q: How did the bail bond system begin?
A: The bail bond system arose out of common law, dating back to the 13th century England. The posting of money or property in exchange for the temporary release pending a trial was born. Over the course of time, the modern commercial practice of bail bonds has continued to evolve in the United States, but has in fact cease to exist in most modern nation-states.
