I've never been to jail before, so how much will my bond be? Um for grand theft yeah, I believe it's If you go through a bondsman you have to pay 10%. And if it's below 1,000, 10% of 1,000 is 100. Let's say your bond's 500. Bondsmen usually charge a minimum of 100. The officers remain respectful and take time to explain the current bail reform laws and what you can expect moving forward. Does this say assault right? No. I think it's 500. The bond. So 10% is 100. Well, 10% would be 50, but it's a minimum of 100, so it'd be 100 bucks. Okay. If you If you go through a bondsman if this is So can I call the bondsman out or do I have to wait till I get to the station? You need to wait till you get down there. You got to get booked in first uh before you can call leave. hours to do? I don't know how long it takes. Depends how busy they are they are down there. What they got going on down at the jail? So, we're fine. This is for their their stuff. Don't worry about the picture they have on video. They have much better pictures they can I don't know why they took pictures, but they can get a very good picture of you from the videos. I think it's basically um they distribute it to their other stores. Yeah. Cuz they don't want you obviously going to other stores and doing the same thing. And I would I would suggest not doing this again. This is my first time doing it. And why I told you. Careful. How old are you? I'm about to be 27 in a few days. About to be 27. Do you work? Any reason why you don't work? No. Well, I just bought a car now, so Okay. That was my excuse. One second. Look. Though she's cooperative and apologetic, the consequences are unavoidable. I just wanted to get booked. I don't know if I have to answer any more questions. You need your belongings? No. You ready to get booked um um Yeah, I'm assuming you're ready to go. Thank you. I'm ready to go. One second. Give me a second. you sign it? Yeah, probably lock ourselves. Rubble four. I don't really like how they undouble lock it when I was in the hands of the I don't know how to do this. I should grab my phone and take some Yeah, yeah, do that. They're not comfortable. There's no Okay. way to put them on where they don't, you know, Yeah, and hurt a little bit. Okay. Should be on that long anyways. Uh this is her bag. Yeah. Yeah, I'll take it. I'm still I'm still lucky. Even Marcus is lucky. Yeah. He's getting a little annoyed. Oh, I know. I I've been there. Is there anything going on? Over here, over here on the left. Can you put a little pad down with the back of my hand? Okay. Make sure you don't have any weapons on you. Okay. And just like that, she ends up in the back seat of a patrol car headed to jail.

During the ride to the station, the officer breaks down the current bail reform laws and what the suspect can expect moving forward. How it works now is whenever you get charged with a crime um like so you because of bail reform it goes off of your previous incidences, like your previous arrests, and your likelihood. Yeah, it's just So, it goes off of that, your criminal history, as well as your likelihood to flee, if they put it on a warrant or not. I What's up? So, I go in, we go in, I just have to fingerprint you, book you real quick. I'm going to throw you in the cell for a couple minutes. I have to type up the complaints, and then I'll most likely put just put it on the summons. I mean, if if you're saying that you really don't have any criminal history or anything like that, I mean Yeah. Yeah, no, I got you. Listen, I I try not to make any promises, but I'll see what I can do. You're most likely going to get off on a summons. I just like being straight up with people cuz well, like it's a D pay. You're saying that you don't really have any criminal history. All that plays into effect, so Yeah. But, you'll you'll probably get released on a summons. I'll see what I can do if you can't, but While the charge may seem minor on its own, the repeated offenses and solid evidence lock in the shoplifting case. Are you okay? Sorry, what? He's later released and scheduled to appear in court. Number two. Shoplifter tries to flee after yet another theft. Officers respond to a shoplifting call at a Winn-Dixie.
