Did you know that cash bail is not a fine, but a refundable deposit?
It serves as a guarantee that an accused person will return to the station or appear in court as required. If all dates are honored and the accused appears before court, you are entitled to get 100% of your money back.
Always demand an official Police 18A receipt, which is your only proof of payment. If you lose it, you will need to swear a legal Affidavit of Loss before a Commissioner for Oaths and obtain a Police Abstract to claim your refund.
For extra caution, take a photo of the receipt immediately to have a digital copy and backup.
