Thanks for the clarification. I thought I’d heard that about Chicago, but I wasn’t sure. So even larger bonds aren’t guaranteed by a bondsmen, then. That’s got to be tough on the families!

I had a traffic ticket. I went to the instant judge (Houston has gotten a lot more efficient lately) and got defensive driving. I had to pay court cost of about $60.
They took my credit card. Are you just back-assward or something?
What’s wrong with debit cards?
Or how about this watch? I bought it off this dude downtown. It’s a Rolex…
Do yourself a favor and stay away. It’s one of those movies even MST3K can’t save.
Cool rant.
The Aussie judge gives it a 9.4 (points deducted for misspellings, namely defecated and fuck). 
I especially liked the bit about the frequent flyer points. 
I still can’t watch Casablanca.
Is the guy’s name Ernest T. Bass?
Actually, I think he’s talking about Otis. Preferred cell and all.
But he didn’t mention sending him home until AFTER Aunt Bea’s pie, so I can’t be sure.
Don’t you think there’s a bit of a difference between paying a fine with a card and paying your bail with a card?
What about Swiss? Or American?.. I prefer parmesan myself…
When arrested again, bring pie.
You weren’t planning to pay using the gigantic stone coins of the Yap Islanders, were you?
Road Rash,
We actually take insurance/auto club bond cards or your license, it's bond, not bail, as Otto pointed out.
Snoooopy,
We actually tried to get them to take the giant stone coins, but the transfer envelopes wouldn't hold 'em.
Mangetout,
Negative, and uh-uh. Although I would consider releasing a misdemeanor suspect for a giant wheel of Vermont Cabot White Cheddar...
Behold the power of cheese!
Diogenes,
Nothing wrong per se, we just don't take 'em.
Now that faulex on the other hand…
kferr,
Donuts. When arrested bring donuts. ;)
Kambuckta,
Why thanks! and I can't believe I choked on defecation! :smack: Wait a minute, I didn't mean...
er…eh, nevermind.
