Depends on what country you are in.

In the UK, if you breach bail the only realistic chance of getting punished is if you breach court bail. Breaching police bail only (usually) gets you a trip to the station to tell you off and then you are released again.

If this is to do with the UK, he will be arrested by the police for breach of bail conditions and put before the magistrates' court. If he admits the breach or the magistrates find the breach proved "on the balance of probabilities", then the whole question of bail falls to be considered afresh. If it is a first breach, then there is a reasonable chance of being rebailed on the same conditions as before, particularly if he admits the breach, (but much depends on the nature of the breach). If he has breached before or it is a serious breach then he is likely to be remanded in custody until the end of the proceedings.

If he is convicted of the offence, the breach does not aggravate the final sentence imposed, but it will be taken into consideration by the magistrates/judge when looking at whether he can comply with a non-custodial sentence.

Hope that helps.

Well, some are close, some have the right idea and some are way off. It depends on a few things. What specifically do you mean by breach? Here are a couple of ways this could play out.



1) Breach wherein it is he simply failed to comply withhthe written bail contract with the bondsman. In which case the bondsman has the right to contract bail enforcement agent to locate, apprehend and surrender him or her back into the custody of the facility from which he was bailed.



2) Breach wherein he or she actually failed to appear for an ordered court appearance. Most likely, there is a warrant for his arrest. Depending on the nature of the charge, it is not likely police will actively be attempting to locate him. However, if he is stopped and has a warrant, he will be arrested. Additionally, the bondsman has the right to contract a bail enforcement agent to locate, apprehend and surrender him or her back into the custody of the facility from which he or she was originally bailed.



In any event, he or she needs to contact his bondsman immediately and talk about what type of accommodations the bondsman is willing to work out. Believe it or not, the bondsman is in a unique position and can often help defendant's find resolution to many similar situations without the defendant having to go back to jail.

The police and courts will be out looking for him with a warrant issued for his arrest on sight.

There will be no more bail provisions - it will be jail/custody until his case is heard in court. The fact that he has breached his bail will not bode well for him in his court appearance.

If you commit a crime and are caught, you have pay the consequences. !

A warrant for arrest will have been issued by the courts on the day he did not turn up for court. When it happened to me it took about 9 days for them to come to the house looking for me. My particular warrant officer was a nice guy and all they do is rearrange another court appearance. It is then up to the courts how they deal with that. When I finally went to court after 4 months I did not receive any extra on my sentence for 'failure to attend' but some judges or magistrates will give out extra for that charge.



Good luck with it

The bondsman will notify the court and a warrant will be issued. The police as well as the bondsman will be looking for him, when he's re-arrested he will have high bond or no bond. It will be difficult to find another bondsman to get him out since he skipped out.

Really depends what he did but anything serious they'll probably remand him in custody until the trial. Depends on if he got caught too!

There could well be a warrant out on him hun, he will be arrested & taken to court where he could well receive a custodial sentence.



Good Luck. X :-)

the police can obtain a warrant, He will be arrested,with no bail,which could mean he'd be remanded,in prison,until it goes to court.

A remand in custody is on the cards, prison until his/her court date(s)

HAVE HIM DO A VOLUNTARY SURRENDER WITH THE BONDSMAN THEY WILL TAKE HIM TO THE JAIL. SINCE HE VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED TO THEM THEY WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY BE WILLING TO RE-BOND HIM. IT WILL BE A HIGHER BOND. HE CAN ACTUALLY BE IN AND OUT BEFORE THE PAPERWORK IS DONE.
