If you are lucky the police have taken you to their station and have released on you a citation.

Unfortunately, many are taken to the County Jail and released later or are forced to remain in jail on bail.

Bail – You will remain in jail unless you pay the full amount of bail (which will be returned upon the completion
of the case) or pay a bail bondsman 8 – 10% of the bail amount (which will not be returned).

Citation – Read what you receive from the police and/or jail. This will contain important information such as your court date.


ARRESTED FOR DUI? DO NOT WAIT FOR COURT.
YOU NEED TO CALL DMV 10-DAYS FROM YOUR ARREST DATE.

Arraignment – This is the first court hearing. You will be notified of the charges against you. Your bail may increase; decrease or you may be released on your own recognizance. (Refer to 10 Tips for more info.)
