  • There are also laws about who can post bail for you. My understanding is that they need to either have an actual relationship with you or be a licensed bondsman. Either be someone who can guilt you into going to court or who will hire a bounty hunter to haul you in.

    (And bail bonds are unfair bullshit, but that’s a different thing.)

    • I don’t think this is a thing. The court could reject you if you’re suspicious, but I don’t think there are laws saying “you need a blood relationship to post bail for someone”

        Now court could reject bailing-out someone is BLANKING BS! If it is true, then must be removed!

        Blood relationship requirement is just not true.

        • I haven’t a clue what the rules are but I don’t think anybody was suggesting you had to have a blood relationship to bail someone out. I think they were suggesting you have to know the person, be a friend or colleague or have some kind of connection to them as opposed to some stranger just walking in and bailing out random people like I suggested in my original post
