Bail Bonds for Grand Theft Auto Charges in Costa Mesa
Arrested in Costa Mesa on a grand theft auto charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
About Grand Theft Auto Charges
A grand theft auto charge generally involves taking a motor vehicle without permission. The exact charge, and whether it is treated as a misdemeanor or a felony, varies with the facts and is decided by prosecutors and the court. Bail is usually based on the schedule and the person's history.
Costa Mesa Booking, Jail and Court
Arrests in Costa Mesa are made by Costa Mesa Police Department. Depending on the charge and the agency, a person may be held at Theo Lacy Facility or James A. Musick Facility. Criminal cases from the area are heard at Harbour Justice Center and Central Justice Center. For a grand theft auto charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Grand Theft Auto Charges
The first bail figure normally comes from the bail schedule. The judge can adjust it later, weighing the charge, any record and risk to the public. Bail agents have no say in the amount.
Practical Tip for Families
Ask whether other charges, such as unlawful driving, were added, since each charge appears on the bail schedule.
