Booking and Release process -- Knowing how it works can help you avoid mistakes

Booking and Bail in California

Whether a person has been arrested for domestic violence, DUI, DWI or any other offense the process is the same. Persons taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police or Sheriff's Department will be held at either the Los Angeles Police Station Jail, Sheriff's Station Jail or will be transfered to the Los Angeles County Jail (IRC) and will be kept there until their first court date called the "Arraignment." Bail is allowed to be posted in any facility 24hrs a day, 7 days a week.

Before a bail bond is turned in and accepted, the arrestee must pass a background check through "Live Scan", which is a machine that is linked to a county, state and national database. That database will notify the authorities of any possible holds, warrants, or aliases that might prevent release or increase the total bail amount of an arrestee. Once the results of the Live Scan come back from the various government agencies, that person is then "cleared" to bond out. At this time, a jailor will review and accept a Bail Bond for an arrestee and release them on the Bail Bond.

From the time a Bail Bond is turned in, it takes between 30 minutes and 3 hours for a release depending on the facility where the person is being held. Release times do vary based on the workload of the Los Angeles jail's staff as well as the type of facility. Once out, a person will need to complete his or her part of the paper work, take a picture, and make sure to show up to each and every court date thereafter. It is recommended that you hire a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

Los Angeles: Los Angeles is the largest city in all of California and the second largest in the U.S. Home to an estimated 3.8 million people, it is one of the most populated and diverse counties in the country. Los Angeles was originally inhabited by the Chumash and Tongva Native American tribes thousands of years ago, but it wouldn't be until 1771 when friar Junipero Serra arrived and built the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel that the area began to boom. The area where the mission was built is now known as San Gabriel Valley. By 1777, Spanish governor Felipe de Neve, believed that the site should be formed into a pueblo and in 1781, a group of forty-four settlers know as 'Los Pobladores', founded the town. Los Angels remained a small ranch town until 1820 when the population increased to 650 residents, and today, the pueblo is commemorated in the district of the Los Angeles Pueblo Plaza, located in the oldest part of the city. California remained a part of Mexico until 1847 when the U.S. gained the state during the Mexican-American War. By 1876, the Southern Pacific Railroad was completed ending the line in Los Angeles, and in 1892 oil was discovered allowing Los Angeles to produce twenty-five percent of the world's petroleum by 1923. The Los Angeles Aqueduct was completed in 1913, ensuring the city would have an adequate water supply for its population that now surpassed 100,000. The perimeter of the city is 342 miles and is the only major city in the country to be separated into two pieces by a mountain range. The city is subject to earthquakes due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of the globe where numerous earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. Los Angeles is an area that receives mostly sunny climates, hosting an average of 320 sunny days and only around 40 with measurable precipitation. Los Angeles is also one of the leading centers of commerce, entertainment, media, fashion, international trade, business, science, technology and education in the world, helping the city to be the largest manufacturing center in the Western U.S.
