What to Expect After Being Arrested for a DUI

If you have been arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs in New Jersey, you know firsthand how stressful and emotional the experience can be. 24 Bail Bonds is dedicated to helping all our New Jersey clients make bail so they can get out of jail as quickly as possible. Contact a bail bond agent to learn more about how bail works, and be sure to consult this guide to what you can expect after a DUI arrest.

Arrest

First, an arresting officer will perform a series of field tests to determine that there is probable cause for you to have committed the criminal offense of driving while intoxicated. You will then be read your Miranda rights, arrested, and taken to your local police station for booking and to undergo additional chemical testing, including a breathalyzer or blood test.

Booking

If this is the first time you have been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you will typically be released within 12 hours of your arrest. Some individuals who are charged with a DUI in New Jersey are released on their own recognizance, which means that they do not have to post bail. Of course, this does not apply if you have an outstanding warrant, prior DUIs, or a criminal history.

Bail

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be assigned a bail amount immediately after booking, at a separate hearing, or at your arraignment. The bail amount may either be pre-determined or specially set by a judge who takes into account your driving history, whether or not your offense injured another person or property, and your ties to your family and community. At this point, you or your friends and family should contact a bail bond agent.

If you have been charged with driving under the influence anywhere in New Jersey, your first call should be to 24 Seven Bail Bonds. Our bail bond agents treat all our clients with respect and discretion and ensure that you spend minimal time in jail after your booking. Call (732) 993-7408 today to learn more about our services. 

Common Misconceptions About Bail Bonds

Bail is a process by which a suspect who has been arrested pays a set amount of money to obtain release from police custody. If you are like many people, you have heard of bail bonds and bail bond agents, but are not entirely sure how the process works. Contact an experienced and reliable bondsman immediately after an arrest, and educate yourself about the bail bonds process by reviewing these common myths.

Bail bonds are randomly set

Currently, all New Jersey defendants are legally entitled to bail. The bail amount is set by the court depending on the severity of the crime. For example, armed robbery is assigned a much higher bail amount than public intoxication. Because many people are unable to pay large amounts, a bail bondsman enables friends or family members to make a contract with the bond agent and the court to ensure that the defendant shows up for future court dates.

Bail bonds must be paid immediately in full

Bail bonds do not need to be paid in full. When a bail bondsman helps you get your loved one out of jail, he will charge you a fee of 10% for posting the bond. Collateral is usually required to ensure that the bond is secure and that the bond company is protected against loss in case the defendant fails to report to court as required.

Money paid to a bail bondsman will be refunded

Money paid to a bail bonds agent is non-refundable because bail bondsmen take on a substantial risk when they ensure that the defendant will make all court appearances. Because the bondsman assumes responsibility for paying the full bail amount as a penalty if the defendant fails to show up, the bail bond service is non-refundable.

Understanding Your Rights with the Police

When you are dealing with the police, you are legally entitled to certain protections. As you will learn in this video, two very important provisions pertain to search and seizures and your Miranda rights.

Search and seizure rights are designed to protect you during police stops, arrests, and searches. Police usually cannot search you or your property without a valid search warrant, arrest warrant, or strong reason to believe that you have committed a crime. If you are arrested, a member of law enforcement is required by the U.S. Constitution to read you your Miranda rights before questioning you.

If you have been charged with a crime in New Jersey, your first call should be to an experienced bail bonds agent at 24 Seven Bail Bonds. Call (732) 993-7408 today to learn how our bail bondsmen can help you post bail to get out of jail as quickly as possible.
