How North County Courts Determine Bail

After being arrested and processed at a North County jail, your loved one will have a court hearing with a judge within 48 hours, either through a video call or at the Vista Courthouse. Referred to as an arraignment, this hearing will include a reading of charges, the opportunity for your loved one to enter a plea, and an assignment of bail if your loved one pleads not guilty.

Bail will be set based on San Diego County’s bail schedule, which is modeled after California’s bail schedule. This schedule breaks down the various crimes a defendant can be charged with, suggests amounts bail should be set at, and has instructions for determining if bail should be increased or decreased. For minor offenses and a defendant who does not have a criminal record, a judge may consider releasing the defendant on his or her “own recognizance,” which means the defendant formally agrees to appear on time at all court appearances and hearings, and in return does not have to post bail.

However, this is a rare occurrence, as a judge will want some assurance that your loved one will attend all court appearances, especially if they have a criminal history or were charged with a violent crime. Judges will consider several factors when setting bail, including:

  • Whether the charge is a misdemeanor or felony
  • The defendant’s criminal record
  • The defendant’s ties to the community
  • Any aggravating factors, such as the use of a firearm
  • Public safety
  • How likely the defendant is to jump bail or flee the state or country
  • The defendant’s ability to afford bail

Your loved one’s attorney can advocate for reduced bail during the arraignment, but the prosecution can demand an increase in bail as well. However high your loved one’s bail is set, Balboa Bail Bonds is here to guide your through the process.
