Stephen C. Neff - A Short History of International Lawdipu-ufrgs
This document provides a summary of the history of international law from ancient times to the modern era. It discusses how international law began with basic practices like diplomacy, treaties, and conduct of war in ancient Mesopotamia, India, and Greece. In the Middle Ages, the concept of natural law emerged and the distinction between the law of nature and the law of nations (jus gentium) developed. The document then discusses developments in international law through different historical periods up to modern times.
The document discusses the legal definition of conspiracy. Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime, whether or not the crime actually takes place. It requires an agreement on a specific course of conduct, but conspirators do not need to intend to carry out the conduct themselves or desire that the crime actually be committed. The crime of conspiracy punishes the act of agreeing to commit an offense, making it an "inchoate" or incomplete offense.
The document lists 10 reasons to become a police officer, including fulfilling a childhood dream, continuing service to one's country, enjoying working with animals like German shepherds, thriving as part of a team, having an affinity for thrill-seeking, upholding and sustaining the law, wanting stability and safety for one's family, putting criminal justice studies to work, serving the local community, and being able to be someone's hero or keep a family tradition alive.
This document appears to be a vocabulary practice test containing multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions across 20 units. Each unit contains vocabulary words to use in context, synonyms and antonyms, and a sentence completion section. The questions assess understanding of word meanings, relationships between words, and using the right word in given contexts. There are no right or wrong answers provided.
Criminal law prohibits harmful acts through statutes and common law. It aims to protect the public from harm by punishing crimes that have occurred and preventing future harms. For an act to be considered a crime, it must violate a criminal law, be intentional, and have a prescribed punishment. Crimes vary in severity from mala in se offenses that are inherently wrong to mala prohibita offenses that are crimes due to restrictions placed on them. Criminal law is subject to constitutional limitations and requirements of due process and prohibitions on things like ex post facto laws and cruel and unusual punishment.
The document discusses intensive supervised probation (ISP) programs, their effectiveness in reducing recidivism, and the conditions typically imposed on probationers. It provides statistics on the large number of individuals in the US subject to some form of probation or community supervision. The document also reviews the use of technologies like electronic monitoring in supervising high-risk offenders in the community.
The new penology notes on the emerging strategy of corrections alaxmikant varma
This document discusses the emergence of a "new penology" in corrections and criminal justice. Key aspects of the new penology include:
1) A shift in discourse from a focus on individual moral responsibility and clinical treatment to an actuarial language based on probabilistic calculations and statistical analysis of aggregate populations.
2) A change in objectives from rehabilitation and crime control to a focus on efficiently managing and controlling deviant groups through surveillance and confinement.
3) The deployment of new techniques that target offenders as an aggregate rather than focusing on individualized treatment or equity.
The new penology represents a strategic shift away from traditional concerns with individual responsibility and intervention, toward managing risk and regulating deviance through aggregate

The document discusses youth sentencing in England and Wales. It outlines the principles that courts consider when sentencing youth, including prevention of offending, welfare of the child, and proportionality to the seriousness of the crime. Tensions can arise between these principles. The principal aim is to prevent offending while having regard for the child's welfare. Severe sentencing may prevent crime in the short term but increase chances of reoffending long term. The document also provides statistics on the number and ages of youth in prisons, the costs, reconviction rates, and types of secure facilities for sentencing youth like Secure Training Centers and Young Offender Institutions.
This document discusses how law firms can future proof themselves through disaster planning and remote work capabilities. It emphasizes that lawyers have an ethical obligation to plan for business continuity and maintain communication with clients. This includes having remote access to client files and data, implementing secure communication technologies, and developing policies for working remotely. The document also provides guidance on reopening law offices safely, such as creating a reopening committee, developing health and safety protocols, and configuring the office space to protect employees and clients.
The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. It was incorporated against the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in open fields, abandoned property, or areas impliedly open to the public. Searches generally require a warrant based on probable cause, though there are exceptions such as consent, exigent circumstances, and searches incident to arrest. Evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment is generally inadmissible due to the exclusionary rule.
International law is the set of rules that are accepted as binding by states in their relations with each other and individuals. It emerged in the 16th century from thinkers like Grotius and serves as the framework for organized international relations. There are various sources of international law, including treaties, customary practice, and general legal principles. The key subjects that international law applies to are states and non-state actors like individuals and international organizations. The 10 main principles of international law include sovereign equality of states, non-use of force, territorial integrity, and human rights.
The document discusses Kashmir, a disputed region located in northern India. It provides background information on Kashmir's geography, demographics, and history of conflict between India and Pakistan over control of the region. Approximately 12 million people live in Kashmir, with Muslims making up around 70% of the population. In recent years, Kashmir has faced an ongoing security lockdown imposed by the Indian government. This has restricted freedoms of movement, communication, and education for Kashmiri people.
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist who founded psychoanalysis. He developed theories about the structure of the human mind and stages of psychosexual development. Freud proposed that the mind is divided into the id, ego, and superego, which are constantly in conflict. He believed unconscious motives and childhood experiences shape adult behavior. Freud made major contributions through his theories of dreams, defense mechanisms, and the importance of sexuality in development. Though influential, Freud's theories are also subject to some criticism regarding emphasis on childhood and sexuality as motivators.
Someone walks up and hits your friend in the face so you hit them back. In this situation, you could argue self-defense in law. Self-defense is a common law defense that allows reasonable force to be used to defend oneself or others from harm. The degree of force used must be reasonable based on the circumstances as the defendant perceived them. While some mistaken beliefs can be taken into account, beliefs caused by voluntary intoxication cannot justify excessive force. The defense of self-defense either entirely succeeds or fails; if excessive force was used, self-defense is not a valid defense.
This document outlines the main forms of law and sources of criminal law. It discusses how civil law governs relationships between individuals and corporations through cases involving malpractice, ownership disputes, and contracts. Criminal law involves felonies for serious crimes punishable by prison time or death, and misdemeanors for less serious crimes resulting in jail time. The sources of criminal law include constitutional law as the highest law, statutory law enacted by legislatures, administrative law in the form of agency rules and regulations, and case law made through court interpretations of other laws. Laws are subject to change over time as social norms evolve.
James is the main character in the short story "The Scribe" by Kristin Hunter. James is a 13-year-old boy who notices that the owners of the Silver Dollar Check Cashing Service take advantage of illiterate customers. He decides to help by becoming a scribe and filling out forms for people outside the business for free. When stopped by police, James gets his parents' help to convince people to cash checks at a bank instead. Throughout the story, James displays traits of being observant, creative, and caring through his efforts to solve the problem.
The document discusses different types of fallacies, or flawed reasoning, in arguments. It describes formal/logical fallacies that violate rules of logic, such as fallacies of definition, division, and categorical syllogism. It also discusses informal/material fallacies arising from ambiguous language or faulty assumptions, including fallacies of equivocation, composition, and presumption. In total, it provides classifications and examples for over 20 different fallacies that can undermine the validity of an argument.
The document discusses the law of torts. It defines a tort as a civil wrong that allows the injured party to sue for damages. It explains that tort law is derived from common law principles and legislation, and differs from contract law in that it does not depend on an agreement between parties. Tort actions are brought by private citizens, not the government. Examples of torts discussed include negligence, which involves a breach of a duty of care that results in injury, and nuisance, which involves interfering with another's right to enjoy their property. Remedies for successful tort claims usually include damages, but injunctions may also be granted to prevent future harm in some cases. Two case examples are summarized relating to negligence liability.
This document provides an introduction to criminal law, outlining key concepts such as the elements of a crime, levels of intent, and the burden and standard of proof. It defines a crime as an unlawful act that renders a person liable to legal punishment. The two main elements of a crime are the actus reus, or guilty act, and the mens rea, or guilty mind. Mens rea can include specific intent, recklessness, or strict liability where no intent needs to be proven. The prosecution bears the burden of proving a defendant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Defenses may reverse this burden to require proving something on the balance of possibilities. The reading and case list are assigned in preparation for the next seminar
This document provides notes from a lecture on criminal law jurisprudence. It covers topics such as rape, theft, homicide, estafa, arson and other crimes. Key points include how rape is now a crime against persons, the stages of execution for different crimes, and discussions of qualifying circumstances, exceptional circumstances and the doctrine of absorption as they relate to criminal liability under Philippine law.
This document discusses crimes against humanity under international law. It defines crimes against humanity as specific crimes committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilians, regardless of nationality. The Rome Statute lists murder, torture, rape and other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity. Perpetrators of such crimes in locations like Bangladesh, Syria and Palestine in recent decades have caused millions of deaths and displaced persons. The ongoing persecution of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, involving killings, rape and destruction of homes, likely constitutes crimes against humanity as well. Landmark trials in Bangladesh have sought to prosecute suspects for crimes against humanity during its war of liberation in 1971.

Plea-bargaining allows an accused person to plead guilty in exchange for concessions from the prosecution. It was introduced in India to reduce court backlogs and prison overcrowding. Plea-bargaining involves negotiations between the prosecution and defense on charges, sentences, or facts. While it provides benefits, there are also concerns it may violate rights or result in unfairly lenient sentences. Indian courts have examined plea-bargaining but taken a cautious approach to its implementation and application.

The document discusses the history and development of commercial bail bonds in the United States legal system from the 1600s to present. It describes how commercial bail began as a way to provide affordable pretrial release of criminal defendants while relieving the financial burden on governments. Over time, laws and regulations established standards for commercial bail to balance pretrial release with ensuring defendants return to court. However, some organizations argue commercial bail should be replaced by government-run pretrial services programs, though evidence shows this can increase failure-to-appear rates and crime. The document provides various perspectives on the ongoing debate around commercial bail.
The practice of bail bonds originated in 13th century England and was later adopted in the United States. Over time, laws were passed to ensure bail was not excessive and applied fairly regardless of wealth. The Bail Reform Act of 1966 aimed to prevent those who could not afford bail from spending months in jail before trial. However, it had a loophole that allowed dangerous criminals to be released. This led to the New Bail Law of 1984, which allows pretrial detention of those deemed a risk to public safety.
The document discusses bail as applicable in Sri Lankan law. It provides definitions and history of bail, outlines the Bail Act and key cases related to bail. It discusses how bail can be granted and the types of offenses that fall under bailable and non-bailable categories. Exceptions to the Bail Act are also noted. The document is intended to provide legal professionals with information to properly handle bail applications in Sri Lanka.
The document provides information about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). It summarizes that the FDCPA was created to protect consumers from abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. It prohibits harassment, false statements, and unfair practices by debt collectors.

The Criminal Justice Process Varies From State To State Week 6guestc9319ef5
The criminal justice process typically involves several stages: investigation by law enforcement, obtaining a search warrant or making an arrest, filing charges through a complaint, information or indictment, an arraignment where the defendant pleads guilty or not guilty, potential plea negotiations, and ultimately a trial if no plea agreement is reached. Key aspects at each stage include requirements for probable cause, constitutional protections of suspects and defendants, the purpose and process of bail, and defendant and prosecution rights regarding evidence and jury selection.
The document summarizes key provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). It begins with an overview of the FDCPA and provides the table of contents which lists the FDCPA sections. It then summarizes several important sections of the FDCPA, including definitions of terms like "debt collector" and "consumer"; requirements for debt collectors in acquiring location information and communicating with consumers and third parties; and prohibitions on harassment and misleading representations.

Consent in Sexual Offences since the Enactment of the Sexual Offences Act 2003Callum Hughes
This document provides a critical evaluation of the definition of consent in the UK's Sexual Offences Act 2003. It discusses the statutory definition in section 74, which defines consent as agreement by choice with freedom and capacity. It then analyzes the evidential assumptions of consent in section 75, which outlines circumstances where lack of consent is presumed. Finally, it examines the conclusive presumptions of no consent in section 76, particularly regarding deception as to the nature or purpose of the act. Overall, the document argues that while the current definition aims to clarify consent, interpretations remain complex, and the law could establish clearer guidance to balance protecting sexual freedom and preventing unwanted acts.
Attachment is a legal process that allows a plaintiff's property to be seized before a final judgment to secure potential payment of damages. It serves to acquire jurisdiction over a defendant when service is not possible and to create a lien on a defendant's property until a plaintiff can obtain a judgment. An order of attachment is issued by a court based on an affidavit and bond showing a valid cause of action exists. The property is then seized by a sheriff. A defendant can challenge an attachment by making a deposit or posting a bond. Certain properties are exempt from attachment.
This document discusses the right to bail in Bangladeshi law. It defines bail as the release of a person charged with an offence upon signing an undertaking to appear in court.

The document outlines the categories of offences, conditions for granting bail, relevant authorities, and roles of police, prosecutors and judges. It also discusses cancellation of bail and reforms needed in the bail system.

3. How Bail Works
Posting of a bail bond – This process involves a contractual undertaking
guaranteed by a Licensed, Bonded and Insured Bail Bondsman and the
individual posting bail. The bail agent guarantees to the court that the defendant
will appear in court each and every time the judge requires them to.
For this service, the defendant is charged a percentage of the bail amount.
Before being released the defendant or a relative or friend of the defendant,
typically contacts a bail agent to arrange for the posting of bail. Prior to the
posting of a bail bond, the defendant or a co-signer must guarantee that they will
pay the full amount of bail if the defendant does not appear in court.
Typically, a family member or a close friend of the defendant will post bail and
cosign. Collateral is not always required for a person to be bailed from jail. Often
a person can be bailed from jail on the signature of a friend or family member.
Cosigners typically need to be working and either own or rent a home in the
same area for some time.
After an agreement is reached, the bail bondsman posts a bond for the amount
of the bail, to guarantee the defendant’s return to court. If the defendant “skips”,
the cosigner is then responsible for the full amount of the bail. If the defendant is
located within a certain amount of time and arrested by the bail enforcement
agent the cosigner is then only responsible for all expenses the bail agent incurs
while looking for the defendant.

4. The History of Bail in the United States
By: Sean M. Cook
Bail in the United States evolved from British statutes and policies, with the newly independent
colonies in 1776 formulating policies similar to those established under British tradition.
For example, Virginia’s constitution in 1776 – which laid the groundwork for the U.S. Bill of
Rights – included a provision stating that “excessive bail ought not to be required.” In 1785, a
statute strengthened this provision by giving rules for bail, including one denying bail to those
“punishable by life or limb.”
The Eighth Amendment to the Constitution came almost verbatim from Virginia’s constitution.
The amendment reads, “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor
cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
The Sixth Amendment, like the English Habeas Corpus Act of 1678, also plays a role in U.S.
bail structure by guaranteeing that those arrested know the “nature and cause of the accusation”
against them, thus allowing them to determine if they are entitled to bail based on their alleged
offense.
In 1789, the same Congress that proposed the Eighth Amendment also passed the Judiciary Act,
which specified which types of crimes were eligible for bail and set bonds on judges’ discretion
in setting bail. Basically, the Judiciary Act stated that suspects in non-capital offenses were
allowed bail, while giving judges the decision about whether to detain suspects before trial for
capital offenses (meaning murder, espionage, treason and other crimes punishable by death or
life in prison).
The Judiciary Act formulated the fundamental U.S. bail structure that stayed in place for nearly
200 years. In 1966, Congress made a substantive change to bail law with the Bail Reform Act,
which indicated that a non-capital offense defendant “shall…be ordered released pending trial on
his personal recognizance” or on personal bond unless a judicial officer felt this would not
guarantee the defendant’s appearance at trial.
The 1966 act thus told the courts to release suspects with as little burden as necessary to ensure
appearance at trial. In non-capital cases, the act did not allow a judge to weigh a suspect’s
potential threat to the community in determining bail.
This provision drew criticism, particularly in the District of Columbia, where all crimes formerly
fell under regulation of federal bail law. So, in 1970, the passage of the District of Columbia
Court Reform and Criminal Procedure Act allowed judges to consider dangerousness to the
community, as well as risk of flight, when setting bail in non-capital cases.
Safety to the community became a factor in the entire federal bail system in 1984 with the
passage of the Bail Reform Act. Under this act, a defendant can be detained without bail if he
poses a risk to the community; may intimidate jurors or witnesses (or otherwise obstruct justice

member,
also
may
make
application
to
the
magistrate
for
release
on
bail
lower
than
that
provided
in
the
schedule
of
bail
or
on
his
or
her
own
recognizance.
The
magistrate
or
commissioner
to
whom
the
application
is
made
is
authorized
to
set
bail
in
an
amount
that
he
or
she
deems
sufficient
to
assure
the
defendant's
appearance
or
to
assure
the
protection
of
a
victim,
or
family
member
of
a
victim,
of
domestic
violence,
and
to
set
bail
on
the
terms
and
conditions
that
he
or
she,
in
his
or
her
discretion,
deems
appropriate,
or
he
or
she
may
authorize
the
defendant's
release
on
his
or
her
own
recognizance.
If,
after
the
application
is
made,
no
order
changing
the
amount
of
bail
is
issued
within
eight
hours
after
booking,
the
defendant
shall
be
entitled
to
be
released
on
posting
the
amount
of
bail
set
forth
in
the
applicable
bail
schedule.
1270.
(a)
Any
person
who
has
been
arrested
for,
or
charged
with,
an
offense
other
than
a
capital
offense
may
be
released
on
his
or
her
own
recognizance
by
a
court
or
magistrate
who
could
release
a
defendant
from
custody
upon
the
defendant
giving
bail,
including
a
defendant
arrested
upon
an
out-‐of-‐county
warrant.
A
defendant
who
is
in
custody
and
is
arraigned
on
a
complaint
alleging
an
offense
which
is
a
misdemeanor,
and
a
defendant
who
appears
before
a
court
or
magistrate
upon
an
out-‐of-‐county
warrant
arising
out
of
a
case
involving
only
misdemeanors,
shall
be
entitled
to
an
own
recognizance
release
unless
the
court
makes
a
finding
on
the
record,
in
accordance
with
Section
1275,
that
an
own
recognizance
release
will
compromise
public
safety
or
will
not
reasonably
assure
the
appearance
of
the
defendant
as
required.
Public
safety
shall
be
the
primary
consideration.
If
the
court
makes
one
of
those
findings,
the
court
shall
then
set
bail
and
specify
the
conditions,
if
any,
whereunder
the
defendant
shall
be
released.
(b)
Article
9
(commencing
with
Section
1318)
shall
apply
to
any
person
who
is
released
pursuant
to
this
section.
1270.1.
(a)
Before
any
person
who
is
arrested
for
any
of
the
following
crimes
may
be
released
on
bail
in

that
is
either
more
or
less
than
the

contained
in
the
schedule
of
bail
for
the

shall
be
held
in

court
before
the
magistrate
or
judge:
(1)
A
serious
felony,
as

of
Section
1192.7,
or
a
violent
felony,
as
defined
in
subdivision

but
not
including
a
violation
of
subdivision
(a)
of
Section
460
(residential
burglary).
(2)
A
violation
of
Section
136.1
where
punishment
is
imposed
pursuant
to
subdivision
(c)
of
Section
136.1,
262,
273.5,
422
where
the
offense
is
punished
as
a
felony,
or
646.9.
(3)
A
violation
of
paragraph
(1)
of
subdivision
(e)
of
Section
243.
(4)
A
violation
of
Section
273.6
if
the
detained
person
made
threats
to
kill
or
harm,
has
engaged
in
violence
against,
or
has
gone
to
the
residence
or
workplace
of,
the
protected
party.
(b)
The
prosecuting
attorney
and
defense
attorney
shall
be
given
a
two
court-‐day
written
notice
and
an
opportunity
to
be
heard
on
the
matter.
If
the
detained
person
does
not
have
counsel,
the
court
shall
appoint
counsel
for
purposes
of
this
section
only.
The
hearing
required
by
this
section
shall
be
held
within
the
time
period
prescribed
in
Section
825.
(c)
At
the
hearing,
the
court
shall
consider
evidence
of
past
court
appearances
of
the
detained
person,
the
maximum
potential
sentence
that
could
be
imposed,
and
the
danger
that
may
be
posed
to
other
persons
if
the
detained
person
is
released.
In
making
the
determination
whether
to
release
the
detained
person
on
his
or
her
own
recognizance,
the
court
shall
consider
the
potential
danger
to
other
persons,
including
threats
that
have
been
made
by
the
detained
person
and
any
past
acts
of
violence.
The
court
shall
also
consider
any
evidence
offered
by
the
detained
person
regarding
his
or
her
ties
to
the
community
and
his
or
her
ability
to
post
bond.
(d)
If
the
judge
or
magistrate
sets
the
bail
in
an
amount
that
is
either
more
or
less
than
the
amount
contained
in
the
schedule
of
bail
for
the
offense,
the
judge
or
magistrate
shall
state
the
reasons
for
that
decision
and
shall
address
the
issue
of
threats
made
against
the
victim
or
witness,
if
they
were
made,
in
the
record.
This
statement
shall
be
included
in
the
record.
1270.2.
When
a
person
is
detained
in
custody
on
a
criminal
charge
prior
to
conviction
for
want
of
bail,
that
person
is
entitled
to
an
automatic
review
of
the
order
fixing
the
amount
of
the
bail
by
the
judge
or
magistrate
having
jurisdiction
of
the
offense.
That
review
shall
be
held
not
later
than
five
days
from
the
time
of
the
original
order
fixing
the
amount
of
bail
on
the
original
accusatory
pleading.
The
defendant
may
waive
this
review.
1270.5.
A
defendant
charged
with
an
offense
punishable
with
death
cannot
be
admitted
to
bail,
when
the
proof
of
his
or
her
guilt
is
evident
or
the
presumption
thereof
great.
The
finding
of
an
indictment
does
not
add
to
the
strength
of
the
proof
or
the
presumptions
to
be
drawn
therefrom.
1271.
If
the
charge
is
for
any
other
offense,
he
may
be
admitted
to
bail
before
conviction,
as
a
matter
of
right.
10.
1272.
After
conviction
of
an
offense
not
punishable
with
death,
a
defendant
who
has
made
application
for
probation
or
who
has
appealed
may
be
admitted
to
bail:
1.
As
a
matter
of
right,
before
judgment
is
pronounced
pending
application
for
probation
in
cases
of
misdemeanors,
or
when
the
appeal
is
from
a
judgment
imposing
a
fine
only.
2.
As
a
matter
of
right,
before
judgment
is
pronounced
pending
application
for
probation
in
cases
of
misdemeanors,
or
when
the
appeal
is
from
a
judgment
imposing
imprisonment
in
cases
of
misdemeanors.
3.
As
a
matter
of
discretion
in
all
other
cases,
except
that
a
person
convicted
of
an
offense
subject
to
this
subdivision,
who
makes
a
motion
for
release
on
bail
subsequent
to
a
sentencing
hearing,
shall
provide
notice
of
the
hearing
on
the
bail
motion
to
the
prosecuting
attorney
at
least
five
court
days
prior
to
the
hearing.
1272.1.
Release
on
bail
pending
appeal
under
subdivision
(3)
of
Section
1272
shall
be
ordered
by
the
court
if
the
defendant
demonstrates
all
the
following:
(a)
By
clear
and
convincing
evidence,
the
defendant
is
not
likely
to
flee.
Under
this
subdivision
the
court
shall
consider
the
following
criteria:
(1)
The
ties
of
the
defendant
to
the
community,
including
his
or
her
employment,
the
duration
of
his
or
her
residence,
the
defendant's
family
attachments
and
his
or
her
property
holdings.
(2)
The
defendant's
record
of
appearance
at
past
court
hearings
or
of
flight
to
avoid
prosecution.
(3)
The
severity
of
the
sentence
the
defendant
faces.
(b)
By
clear
and
convincing
evidence,
the
defendant
does
not
pose
a
danger
to
the
safety
of
any
other
person
or
to
the
community.
Under
this
subdivision
the
court
shall
consider,
among
other
factors,
whether
the
crime
for
which
the
defendant
was
convicted
is
a
violent
felony,
as
defined
in
subdivision
(c)
of
Section
667.5.
(c)
The
appeal
is
not
for
the
purpose
of
delay
and,
based
upon
the
record
in
the
case,
raises
a
substantial
legal
question
which,
if
decided
in
favor
of
the
defendant,
is
likely
to
result
in
reversal.
For
purposes
of
this
subdivision,
a
"substantial
legal
question"
means
a
close
question,
one
of
more
substance
than
would
be
necessary
to
a
finding
that
it
was
not
frivolous.
In
assessing
whether
a
substantial
legal
question
has
been
raised
on
appeal
by
the
defendant,
the
court
shall
not
be
required
to
determine
whether
it
committed
error.
In
making
its
decision
on
whether
to
grant
defendants'
motions
for
bail
under
subdivision
(3)
of
Section
1272,
the
court
shall
include
a
brief
statement
of
reasons
in
support
of
an
order
granting
or
denying
a
motion
for
bail
on
appeal.
The
statement
need
only
include
the
basis
for
the
order
with
sufficient
specificity
to
permit
meaningful
review.
1273.
If
the
offense
is
bailable,
the
defendant
may
be
admitted
to
bail
before
conviction:
First-‐-‐For
his
appearance
before
the
magistrate,
on
the
examination
of
the
charge,
before
being
held
to
answer.
Second-‐-‐To
appear
at
the
Court
to
which
the
magistrate
is
required
to
return
the
depositions
and
statement,
upon
the
defendant
being
held
to
answer
after
examination.
Third-‐-‐After
indictment,
either
11. before
the
bench
warrant
is
issued
for
his
arrest,
or
upon
any
order
of
the
Court
committing
him,
or
enlarging
the
amount
of
bail,
or
upon
his
being
surrendered
by
his
bail
to
answer
the
indictment
in
the
Court
in
which
it
is
found,
or
to
which
it
may
be
transferred
for
trial.
And
after
conviction,
and
upon
an
appeal:
First-‐-‐If
the
appeal
is
from
a
judgment
imposing
a
fine
only,
on
the
undertaking
of
bail
that
he
will
pay
the
same,
or
such
part
of
it
as
the
appellate
Court
may
direct,
if
the
judgment
is
affirmed
or
modified,
or
the
appeal
is
dismissed.
Second-‐-‐If
judgment
of
imprisonment
has
been
given,
that
he
will
surrender
himself
in
execution
of
the
judgment,
upon
its
being
affirmed
or
modified,
or
upon
the
appeal
being
dismissed,
or
that
in
case
the
judgment
be
reversed,
and
that
the
cause
be
remanded
for
a
new
trial,
that
he
will
appear
in
the
Court
to
which
said
cause
may
be
remanded,
and
submit
himself
to
the
orders
and
process
thereof.
1274.
When
the
admission
to
bail
is
a
matter
of
discretion,
the
Court
or
officer
to
whom
the
application
is
made
must
require
reasonable
notice
thereof
to
be
given
to
the
District
Attorney
of
the
county.
1275.
(a)
In
setting,
reducing,
or
denying
bail,
the
judge
or
magistrate
shall
take
into
consideration
the
protection
of
the
public,
the
seriousness
of
the
offense
charged,
the
previous
criminal
record
of
the
defendant,
and
the
probability
of
his
or
her
appearing
at
trial
or
hearing
of
the
case.
The
public
safety
shall
be
the
primary
consideration.
In
considering
the
seriousness
of
the
offense
charged,
the
judge
or
magistrate
shall
include
consideration
of
the
alleged
injury
to
the
victim,
and
alleged
threats
to
the
victim
or
a
witness
to
the
crime
charged,
the
alleged
use
of
a
firearm
or
other
deadly
weapon
in
the
commission
of
the
crime
charged,
and
the
alleged
use
or
possession
of
controlled
substances
by
the
defendant.
(b)
In
considering
offenses
wherein
a
violation
of
Chapter
6
(commencing
with
Section
11350)
of
Division
10
of
the
Health
and
Safety
Code
is
alleged,
the
judge
or
magistrate
shall
consider
the
following:
(1)
the
alleged
amounts
of
controlled
substances
involved
in
the
commission
of
the
offense,
and
(2)
whether
the
defendant
is
currently
released
on
bail
for
an
alleged
violation
of
Chapter
6
(commencing
with
Section
11350)
of
Division
10
of
the
Health
and
Safety
Code.
(c)
Before
a
court
reduces
bail
below
the
amount
established
by
the
bail
schedule
approved
for
the
county,
in
accordance
with
subdivisions
(b)
and
(c)
of
Section
1269b,
for
a
person
charged
with
a
serious
felony,
as
defined
in
subdivision
(c)
of
Section
1192.7,
or
a
violent
felony,
as
defined
in
subdivision
(c)
of
Section
667.5,
the
court
shall
make
a
finding
of
unusual
circumstances
and
shall
set
forth
those
facts
on
the
record.
For
purposes
of
this
subdivision,
"unusual
circumstances"
does
not
include
the
fact
that
the
defendant
has
made
all
prior
court
appearances
or
has
not
committed
any
new
offenses.
12. 1275.1.
(a)
Bail,
pursuant
to
this
chapter,
shall
not
be
accepted
unless
a
judge
or
magistrate
finds
that
no
portion
of
the
consideration,
pledge,
security,
deposit,
or
indemnification
paid,
given,
made,
or
promised
for
its
execution
was
feloniously
obtained.
(b)
A
hold
on
the
release
of
a
defendant
from
custody
shall
only
be
ordered
by
a
magistrate
or
judge
if
any
of
the
following
occurs:
(1)
A
peace
officer,
as
defined
in
Section
830,
files
a
declaration
executed
under
penalty
of
perjury
setting
forth
probable
cause
to
believe
that
the
source
of
any
consideration,
pledge,
security,
deposit,
or
indemnification
paid,
given,
made,
or
promised
for
its
execution
was
feloniously
obtained.
(2)
A
prosecutor
files
a
declaration
executed
under
penalty
of
perjury
setting
forth
probable
cause
to
believe
that
the
source
of
any
consideration,
pledge,
security,
deposit,
or
indemnification
paid,
given,
made,
or
promised
for
its
execution
was
feloniously
obtained.
A
prosecutor
shall
have
absolute
civil
immunity
for
executing
a
declaration
pursuant
to
this
paragraph.
(3)
The
magistrate
or
judge
has
probable
cause
to
believe
that
the
source
of
any
consideration,
pledge,
security,
deposit,
or
indemnification
paid,
given,
made,
or
promised
for
its
execution
was
feloniously
obtained.
(c)
Once
a
magistrate
or
judge
has
determined
that
probable
cause
exists,
as
provided
in
subdivision
(b),
a
defendant
bears
the
burden
by
a
preponderance
of
the
evidence
to
show
that
no
part
of
any
consideration,
pledge,
security,
deposit,
or
indemnification
paid,
given,
made,
or
promised
for
its
execution
was
obtained
by
felonious
means.
Once
a
defendant
has
met
such
burden,
the
magistrate
or
judge
shall
release
the
hold
previously
ordered
and
the
defendant
shall
be
released
under
the
authorized
amount
of
bail.
(d)
The
defendant
and
his
or
her
attorney
shall
be
provided
with
a
copy
of
the
declaration
of
probable
cause
filed
under
subdivision
(b)
no
later
than
the
date
set
forth
in
Section
825.
(e)
Nothing
in
this
section
shall
prohibit
a
defendant
from
obtaining
a
loan
of
money
so
long
as
the
loan
will
be
funded
and
repaid
with
funds
not
feloniously
obtained.
(f)
At
the
request
of
any
person
providing
any
portion
of
the
consideration,
pledge,
security,
deposit,
or
indemnification
paid,
given,
made,
or
promised
for
its
execution,
the
magistrate
or
judge,
at
an
evidentiary
hearing
to
determine
the
source
of
the
funds,
may
close
it
to
the
general
public
to
protect
the
person's
right
to
privacy
in
his
or
her
financial
affairs.
(g)
If
the
declaration,
having
been
filed
with
a
magistrate
or
judge,
is
not
acted
on
within
24
hours,
the
defendant
shall
be
released
from
custody
upon
posting
of
the
amount
of
bail
set.
(h)
Nothing
in
this
code
shall
deny
the
right
of
the
defendant,
either
personally
or
through
his
or
her
attorney,
bail
agent
licensed
by
the
Department
of
Insurance,
admitted
surety
insurer
licensed
by
the
Department
of
Insurance,
friend,
or
member
of
his
or
her
family
from
making
an
application
to
the
magistrate
or
judge
for
the
release
of
the
defendant
on
bail.
(i)
The
bail
of
any
defendant
found
to
have
willfully
misled
the
court
regarding
the
source
of
bail
may
be
increased
as
a
result
of
the
willful
misrepresentation.
The
misrepresentation
may
be
a
factor
considered
in
any
subsequent
bail
hearing.
(j)
If
a
defendant
has
met
the
burden
under
subdivision
(c),
and
a
defendant
will
be
released
from
custody
upon
the
issuance
of
a
bail
bond
issued
pursuant
to
authority
of
Section

facts
showing
that
the

has
failed
to

this
subdivision.
(e)

in
the

(1)
A

of
the

copy
of
the
certificate
of
deposit
where
a
deposit
is
made,
or
an
affidavit
given
by
the
bail
licensee
or
surety
company
listing
all
that
specific

in
his

thereon
as
upon
a

and
by
a
certificate
in
writing
acknowledge
the
surrender.
(2)
The
bail
or
depositor,
upon
surrendering
the
defendant,
shall
make
reasonable
effort
to
give
notice
to
the
defendant's
last
attorney
of
record,
if
any,
of
such
surrender.
(3)
The
officer
to
whom
the

bring
the
defendant
before
the

in
which
the

appear
on
the

for
which
he
has
been

The

shall
advise
the
defendant
of
his
right

to
order
return
of
the
premium
paid
by
the

or
other
person,
or
any
part
of
it.
(4)
Upon
the
undertaking,
or
certificate
of
deposit,
and
the

the

order
that

bail
or
deposit
be
exonerated.
However,
if
the
defendant
is
released
on
his
own
recognizance
or
on
another
bond
before
the
issuance
of
such
an
order,
the

On

(b)
Notwithstanding
subdivision

if
the
court
determines
that
good
cause
does
not
exist
for
the
surrender
of
a
defendant
who
has
not
failed
to
appear
or
has
not
violated
any
order
of
the
court,
it
may,
in
its
discretion,
order
the
bail
or
the
depositor
to
16. return
to
the
defendant
or
other
person
who
has
paid
the
premium
or
any
part
of
it,
all
of
the
money
so
paid
or
any
part
of
it.
1301.
For
the
purpose
of
surrendering
the
defendant,
the
bail
or
any
person
who
has
deposited
money
or
bonds
to
secure
the
release
of
the
defendant,
at
any
time
before
such
bail
or
other
person
is
finally
discharged,
and
at
any
place
within
the
state,
may
himself
arrest
defendant,
or
by
written
authority
indorsed
on
a
certified
copy
of
the
undertaking
or
a
certified
copy
of
the
certificate
of
deposit,
may
empower

Any

other

who
so
arrests
a

in
this
state
shall,
without
unnecessary
delay,
and,
in
any
event,
within
48

the
court
or

the

or
police
for
confinement
in
the
appropriate
jail
in
the
county
or
city
in
which
defendant
is
required
to
appear.
Any
bail
or
other
person
who
arrests
a
defendant
outside
this
state
shall,
without
unnecessary
delay
after
the
time
defendant

Any
bail
or
other
person
who
willfully
fails
to
deliver
a
defendant
to
the
court,
magistrate,
sheriff,
or
police
as
required
by
this
section
is
guilty
of
a
misdemeanor.
The
provisions
of
this
section
relating
to
the
time
of
delivery
of
a
defendant
are
for
his
benefit
and,
with
the
consent
of
the
bail,
may
be
waived
by
him.
To
be
valid,
such
waiver
shall
be
in
writing,
signed
by
the
defendant,
and
delivered
to
such
bail
or
other
person
within
48
hours
after
the
defendant's
arrest
or
entry
into
this
state,
as
the
case
may
be.
The
defendant,
at
any
time
and
in
the
same
manner,
may
revoke
said

Whereupon,
he
shall

herein
without
unnecessary
delay
and,
in
any
event
within
48
hours
from
the
time

1302.
If
money
has
been
deposited
instead
of
bail,
and
the
defendant,
at
any
time
before
the
forfeiture
thereof,
surrenders
himself
or
herself
to
the
officer
to
whom
the
commitment
was
directed,
in
the
manner
provided
in
Sections
1300
and
1301,
the
court
shall
order
a
return
of
the
deposit
to
the
defendant
or
to
the
person
or
persons
found
by
the
court
to
have
deposited
said
money
on
behalf
of
the

and
upon
a
notice
of
five
days
to
the

1303.
If
an
action
or
proceeding
against
a
defendant
who
has
been
admitted
to
bail
is
dismissed,
the
bail
shall
not
be
exonerated
until
a
period
of
15
days
has
elapsed
since
the
entry
of
the
order
of
dismissal.
If,
within
such
period,
the
defendant
is
arrested
and
charged
with
a
public
offense
arising
out
of
the
same
act
or
omission
upon
which
the
action
or
proceeding
was
based,
the
bail
shall
be
applied
to
the
public
offense.
If
an
undertaking
of
bail
is
on
file,
the
clerk
of
the
court
shall
promptly
mail
notice
to
the
surety
on
the
bond
and

agent
who
posted
the

is
applied
to
a
public
offense
pursuant
to
this
section.

or

deposited
in
lieu
of

as
security
in
lieu

days
prior
to

bond
of
the
fact
that
the
bond
is
to
be
exonerated,
or
unless
the
court
determines
otherwise
and
informs
the
party
executing
the
bail
of
the
reasons
that
the
bail
is
not
exonerated.
18. PENAL

(a)
A
court
shall
in
open
court
declare
forfeited
the
undertaking
of
bail
or
the
money
or

(5)
To

himself
or
herself
in
execution
of
the
judgment
after

However,
the
court
shall
not
have
jurisdiction
to
declare
a

and
the
bail
shall
be
released
of
all
obligations
under
the
bond
if
the

is
dismissed
or
if
no
complaint
is

of
the

At
the

time,
the
court
shall
mail
a

of
the
forfeiture
notice
to
the
bail
agent
whose
name
appears
on
the
bond.
The

shall
also
execute
a
certificate
of
mailing
of
the
forfeiture
notice
and
shall
place
the
certificate
in
the
court's
file.
If
the
notice
of
forfeiture
is
required
to
be
mailed
pursuant
to
this
section,
the
180-‐day
period
provided
for
in
this
section
shall
be
extended
by
a
period
of
five
days
to
allow
for
the
mailing.
If
the
surety
is
an
authorized
corporate
surety,
and
if
the
bond
plainly
displays
the
mailing
address
of
the
corporate
surety
and
the
bail
agent,
then
notice
of
the
forfeiture
shall
be
mailed
to
the
surety
at
that
address
and
to
the
bail
agent,
and
mailing
alone

shall
not
constitute

The

or
depositor
shall
be
released
of
all
obligations
under
the
bond
if
any
of
the

to
the

(c)
(1)
If
the
defendant
appears
either
voluntarily
or
in
custody
after
surrender
or
arrest
in
court
within
180
days
of
the
date
of
forfeiture
or
within
180
days
of
the
date
of
mailing
of
the
notice
if
the
notice
is
required
under
subdivision
(b),
the
court
shall,
on
its
own
motion
at
the
time
the
defendant
first
appears
in
court
on
the
case
in
which
the
forfeiture
was
entered,
direct
the
order
of
forfeiture
to
be
vacated
and
the

exonerated.
If

own
motion,
then
the
surety's
or

obligations
under

in
the
underlying
case
within
the
180-‐day

and
is
subsequently
released

prior
to
an

the

shall,
on
its
own
motion,
direct
the
order
of
forfeiture
to
be
vacated
and
the
bond
exonerated.
If
the
court
fails
to
so
19. act
on
its
own
motion,
then
the
surety's
or
depositor's
obligations
under
the
bond
shall
be
immediately
vacated
and
the
bond
exonerated.
An
order
vacating
the
forfeiture
and
exonerating
the
bond
may
be
made
on
terms
that
are
just
and
do
not
exceed
the
terms
imposed
in
similar
situations
with
respect
to
other
forms
of
pretrial
release.
(3)
If,
outside
the
county
where
the
case
is
located,
the
defendant
is
surrendered
to
custody
by
the
bail
or
is
arrested
in
the
underlying
case
within
the
180-‐day
period,
the
court
shall
vacate
the
forfeiture
and
exonerate
the
bail.
(4)
In
lieu
of
exonerating
the
bond,
the
court
may
order
the
bail
reinstated
and
the
defendant
released
on
the
same
bond
if
both
of
the
following
conditions
are
met:
(A)
The
bail
is
given
prior
notice
of
the
reinstatement.
(B)
The
bail
has
not
surrendered
the
defendant.
(d)
In
the
case
of
a
permanent
disability,
the
court
shall
direct
the
order
of
forfeiture
to
be
vacated
and
the
bail
or
money
or
property
deposited
as
bail
exonerated
if,
within
180
days
of
the
date
of
forfeiture
or
within
180
days
of
the
date
of
mailing
of
the
notice
if
notice
is
required
under
subdivision
(b),
it
is
made
apparent
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
court
that
both
of
the
following
conditions
are
met:
(1)
The
defendant
is
deceased
or
otherwise
permanently
unable
to
appear
in
the
court
due
to
illness,
insanity,
or
detention
by
military
or
civil
authorities.
(2)
The
absence
of
the
defendant
is
without
the
connivance
of
the
bail.
(e)
In
the
case
of
a
temporary
disability,
the
court
shall
order
the
tolling
of
the
180-‐day
period
provided
in
this
section
during
the
period
of
temporary
disability,
provided
that
it
appears
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
court
that
the
following
conditions
are
met:
(1)
The
defendant
is
temporarily
disabled
by
reason
of
illness,
insanity,
or
detention
by
military
or
civil
authorities.
(2)
Based
upon
the
temporary
disability,
the
defendant
is
unable
to
appear
in
court
during
the
remainder
of
the
180-‐day
period.
(3)
The
absence
of
the
defendant
is
without
the
connivance
of
the
bail.
The
period
of
the
tolling
shall
be
extended
for
a
reasonable
period
of
time,
at
the
discretion
of
the
court,
after
the
cessation
of
the
disability
to
allow
for
the
return
of
the
defendant
to
the
jurisdiction
of
the
court.
(f)
In
all
cases
where
a
defendant
is
in
custody
beyond
the
jurisdiction
of
the
court
that
ordered
the
bail
forfeited,
and
the
prosecuting
agency
elects
not
to
seek
extradition
after
being
informed
of
the
location
of
the
defendant,
the
court
shall
vacate
the
forfeiture
and
exonerate
the
bond
on
terms
that
are
just
and
do
not
exceed
the
terms
imposed
in
similar
situations
with
respect
to
other
forms
of
pretrial
release.
(g)
In
all
cases
of
forfeiture
where
a
defendant
is
not
in
custody
and
is
beyond
the
jurisdiction
of
the
state,
is
temporarily
detained,
by
the
bail
agent,
in
the
presence
of
a
local
law
enforcement
officer
of
the
jurisdiction
in
which
the
defendant
is
located,
and
is
positively
identified
by
that
law
enforcement
officer
as
the
wanted
defendant
in
an
affidavit
signed
under
penalty
of
perjury,
and
the
prosecuting
agency
elects
not
to
seek
extradition
after
being
informed
of
the
location
of
the
defendant,
the
court
shall
vacate
the
forfeiture
and
exonerate

on
terms
that
are
just
and
do
not
exceed
the

in
similar

(h)
As
used
in
this
section,
"arrest"
includes
a
hold
placed
on
the
defendant
in
the
underlying
case
while
he
or
she
is
in
custody
on
other
charges.
(i)
A
motion
filed
in
a
timely
manner
within
the
180-‐day
period
may
be
heard
within
30
days
of
the
expiration
of
the
180-‐day
period.
The
court
may
extend
the
30-‐day
period
upon
a
showing
of
good
cause.
The
motion
may
be
made
by
the
surety
insurer,
the
bail
agent,
the
surety,
or
the
20. depositor
of
money
or
property,
any
of
whom
may
appear
in
person
or
through
an
attorney.
The
court,
in
its
discretion,
may
require
that
the
moving
party
provide
10
days
prior
notice
to
the
applicable
prosecuting
agency,
as
a
condition
precedent
to
granting
the
motion.
1305.1.
If
the
defendant
fails
to
appear
for
arraignment,
trial,
judgment,
or
upon
any
other
occasion
when
his
or
her
appearance
is
lawfully
required,
but
the
court
has
reason
to
believe
that
sufficient
excuse
may
exist
for
the
failure
to
appear,
the
court
may
continue
the
case
for
a
period
it
deems
reasonable
to
enable
the
defendant
to
appear
without
ordering
a
forfeiture
of
bail
or
issuing
a
bench
warrant.
If,
after
the
court
has
made
the
order,
the
defendant,
without
sufficient
excuse,
fails
to
appear
on
or
before
the
continuance
date
set
by
the
court,
the
bail
shall
be
forfeited
and
a
warrant
for
the
defendant's
arrest
may
be
ordered
issued.
1305.2.
If
an
assessment
is
made
a
condition
of
the
order
to
set
aside
the
forfeiture
of
an
undertaking,
deposit,
or
bail
under
Section
1305,
the
clerk
of
the
court
shall
within
30
days
mail
notice
thereof
to
the
surety
or
depositor
at
the
address
of
its
principal
office,
mail
a
copy
to
the
bail
agent
whose
name
appears
on
the
bond,
and
shall
execute
a
certificate
of
mailing
and
place
it
in
the
court'
s
file
in
the
case.
The
time
limit
for
payment
shall
in
no
event
be
less
than
30
days
after
the
date
of
mailing
of
the
notice.
If
the
assessment
has
not
been
paid
by
the
date
specified,
the
court
shall
determine
if
a
certificate
of
mailing
has
been
executed,
and
if
none
has,
the
court
shall
cause
a
notice
to
be
mailed
to
the
surety,
depositor,
or
bail
agent
whose
name
appears
on
the
bond,
and
the
surety,
depositor,
or
bail
agent
whose
name
appears
on
the
bond
shall
be
allowed
an
additional
30
days
to
pay
the
assessment.
1305.3.
The
district
attorney,
county
counsel,
or
applicable
prosecuting
agency,
as
the
case
may
be,
shall
recover,
out
of
the
forfeited
bail
money,
the
costs
incurred
in
successfully
opposing
a
motion
to
vacate
the
forfeiture
and
in
collecting
on
the
summary
judgment
prior
to
the
division
of
the
forfeited
bail
money
between
the
cities
and
counties
in
accordance
with
Section
1463.
1305.4.
Notwithstanding
Section
1305,
the
surety
insurer,
the
bail
agent,
the
surety,
or
the
depositor
may
file
a
motion,
based
upon
good
cause,
for
an
order
extending
the
180-‐day
period
provided
in
that
section.
The
motion
shall
include
a
declaration
or
affidavit
that
states
the
reasons
showing
good
cause
to
extend
that
period.
The
court,
upon
a
hearing
and
a
showing
of
good
cause,
may
order
the
period
extended
to
a
time
not
exceeding
180
days
from
its
order.
A
motion
may
be
filed
and
calendared
as
provided
in
subdivision
(i)
of
Section
1305.
21.
1306.
(a)
When
any
bond
is
forfeited
and
the
period
of
time
specified
in
Section
1305
has
elapsed
without
the
forfeiture
having
been
set
aside,
the
court
which
has
declared
the
forfeiture,
regardless
of
the
amount
of
the
bail,
shall
enter
a
summary
judgment
against
each
bondsman
named
in
the
bond
in
the
amount
for
which
the
bondsman
is
bound.
The
judgment
shall
be
the
amount
of
the
bond
plus
costs,
and
notwithstanding
any
other
law,
no
penalty
assessments
shall
be
levied
or
added
to
the
judgment.
(b)
If
a
court
grants
relief
from
bail
forfeiture,
it
shall
impose
a
monetary
payment
as
a
condition
of
relief
to
compensate
the
people
for
the
costs
of
returning
a
defendant
to
custody
pursuant
to
Section
1305,
except
for
cases
where
the
court
determines
that
in
the
best
interest
of
justice
no
costs
should
be
imposed.
The
amount
imposed
shall
reflect
the
actual
costs
of
returning
the
defendant
to
custody.
Failure
to
act
within
the
required
time
to
make
the
payment
imposed
pursuant
to
this
subdivision
shall
not
be
the
basis
for
a
summary
judgment
against
any
or
all
of
the
underlying
amount
of
the
bail.
A
summary
judgment
entered
for
failure
to
make
the
payment
imposed
under
this
subdivision
is
subject
to
the
provisions
of
Section
1308,
and
shall
apply
only
to
the
amount
of
the
costs
owing
at
the
time
the
summary
judgment
is
entered,
plus
administrative
costs
and
interests.
(c)
If,
because
of
the
failure
of
any
court
to
promptly
perform
the
duties
enjoined
upon
it
pursuant
to
this
section,
summary
judgment
is
not
entered
within
90
days
after
the
date
upon
which
it
may
first
be
entered,
the
right
to
do
so
expires
and
the
bail
is
exonerated.
(d)
A
dismissal
of
the
complaint,
indictment,
or
information
after
the
default
of
the
defendant
shall
not
release
or
affect
the
obligation
of
the
bail
bond
or
undertaking.
(e)
The
district
attorney
or
county
counsel
shall:
(1)
Demand
immediate
payment
of
the
judgment
within
30
days
after
the
summary
judgment
becomes
final.
(2)
If
the
judgment
remains
unpaid
for
a
period
of
20
days
after
demand
has
been
made,
shall
forthwith
enforce
the
judgment
in
the
manner
provided
for
enforcement
of
money
judgments
generally.
If
the
judgment
is
appealed
by
the
surety
or
bondsman,
the
undertaking
required
to
be
given
in
these
cases
shall
be
provided
by
a
surety
other
than
the
one
filing
the
appeal.
The
undertaking
shall
comply
with
the
enforcement
requirements
of
Section
917.1
of
the
Code
of
Civil
Procedure.
(f)
The
right
to
enforce
a
summary
judgment
entered
against
a
bondsman
pursuant
to
this
section
shall
expire
two
years
after
the
entry
of
the
judgment.
1306.1.
The
provisions
of
Sections
1305
and
1306
shall
not
affect
the
payment
of
bail
deposits
into
the
city
or
county
treasury,
as
the
case
may
be,
pursuant
to
Section
40512
of
the
Vehicle
Code
in
those
cases
arising
under
Section
40500
of
the
Vehicle
Code.
1307.
If,
by
reason
of
the
neglect
of
the
defendant
to
appear,
money
deposited
instead
of
bail
is
forfeited,
and
the
forfeiture
is
not
discharged
or
remitted,
the
clerk
22. with
whom
it
is
deposited
must,
at
the
end
of
180
days,
unless
the
court
has
before
that
time
discharged
the
forfeiture,
pay
over
the
money
deposited
to
the
county
treasurer.
1308.
(a)
No
court
or
magistrate
shall
accept
any
person
or
corporation
as
surety
on
bail
if
any
summary
judgment
against
that
person
or
corporation
entered
pursuant
to
Section
1306
remains
unpaid
after
the
expiration
of
30
days
after
service
of
the
notice
of
the
entry
of
the
summary
judgment,
provided
that,
if
during
the
30
days
an
action
or
proceeding
available
at
law
is
initiated
to
determine
the
validity
of
the
order
of
forfeiture
or
summary
judgment
rendered
on
it,
this
section
shall
be
rendered
inoperative
until
that
action
or
proceeding
has
finally
been
determined,
provided
that,
if
an
appeal
is
taken,
an
appeal
bond
is
posted
in
compliance
with
Section
917.1
of
the
Code
of
Civil
Procedure.
(b)
The
clerk
of
the
court
in
which
the
judgment
is
rendered
shall
serve
notice
of
the
entry
of
judgment
upon
the
judgment
debtor
within
five
days
after
the
date
of
the
entry
of
the
summary
judgment.
