Bail Bonds for Grand Theft Auto Charges in Riverside
Arrested in Riverside on a grand theft auto charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
Understanding a Grand Theft Auto Arrest
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.
Riverside Booking, Jail and Court
Arrests in Riverside are made by Riverside Police Department and, in some areas, Riverside County Sheriff — Riverside Station. Depending on the charge and the agency, a person may be held at Robert Presley Detention Center or Southwest Detention Center. Criminal cases from the area are heard at Riverside Hall of Justice. For a grand theft auto charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and Grand Theft Auto Charges
Most people first see a bail figure taken from a schedule of standard amounts. Later, at a hearing, a judge may keep, raise or lower it. The judge looks at the charge, the person's record and whether the person is likely to return to court.
Practical Tip for Families
Ask whether other charges, such as unlawful driving, were added, since each charge appears on the bail schedule.
