Question about bail conditions?

Hilton Paiva: hi mike thanks for your answer, may i ask why the restrictions might not be modified?

Logan Bero: If you're asking if the bond can be revoked....If the individual has been granted bail and either posted a cash bond or been bonded out by a bondsman, then no, you may not.The only way a bond may be revoked is by either the bondsman issuing the bond or the voluntary surrender of the bond by the individual.If you're asking about restrictions attached as a condition of bail such as a no contact order ....You may speak to the ADA if you're a victim in the case (such as a domestic violence case), but it's unlikely that conditions of bail would be modified.EDIT:Again, it depends on the circumstances surrounding the case, but generally there are instances where conditions of bail have become fairly standard to a specific scenario as a way to limit/reduce potential harm, to the point that they're just accepted as a cost of obtaining bail.For instance, it's not un! common for cases involving alcohol abuse to carry conditions that the defendant not drink or frequent establishments where alcohol is served. Or in other cases such as domestic violence/ sex crimes/harassment it's pretty standard that one condition of bail is a no contact and/or temporary restraining order to protect the victim while the defendant is released pending trial.That said, it's always possible for a defense attorney to file a motion to modify conditions of bail, however it's typically only effective in cases where a condition of bail may unreasonably interfere with employment, for instance....Show more
