Conditional MN Bail Bonds

Conditional Bail Bonds

A conditional bail bond in Minnesota comes with conditions set forth by the judge that the defendant must abide by. After the conditional bail bond is posted and the defendant is released from custody, the defendant must show up for all their court dates and abide by these conditions. If the defendant does not abide by the conditions, the judge may issue an arrest warrant and have the defendant returned to jail. Some examples of typical conditions are as follows:

• Remain law abiding

• Abstain from drug and alcohol use (Random U.A)

• Do not leave the state without written consent of the court

• Ankle and/or alcohol monitoring (which the defendant must pay for and in most cases, cost more than it would to post an unconditional bond)

• Weekly check-ins with probation

These conditions can be not only costly and very inconvenient, but also may seem down right suffocating. But for people on a budget, this may be your only option.

If you can afford to pay a little more upfront and manage to swing monthly payments, posting an unconditional bail bond is by far the best choice. In the long run it’s more cost effective, and desirable (because of the true freedom it offers) to post an unconditional bail bond.
