What happens to a bond if the conditions of release are violated?

When conditions of release are violated, the bond may be forfeited, which means that the court can require the full amount of the bond to be paid. This occurs because the defendant has not adhered to the terms set forth by the court upon their release, indicating a breach of trust. Additionally, the defendant can be subject to re-arrest since violating conditions typically leads to a warrant being issued. This process is a necessary legal measure ensuring that the defendant returns to court and complies with the judicial system, maintaining the integrity of the bail process.

The other options do not accurately reflect the consequences of a violation. A bond remaining active until trial completion does not account for the implications of violating court orders. The bond being automatically extended lacks consideration for the conditions surrounding the defendant’s behavior and the legal process. Transferring the bond to a different bondsman does not directly relate to the consequences of a violation; rather, it would involve separate legal agreements and conditions.
