You never want to end up in jail. Facing charges can be an incredibly challenging and frightening experience, so doing everything imaginable to spend as little time behind bars as possible is vital as you prepare for the next steps.

No, not Tik Tok. Do we really need to see more scantily clad young ladies shaking their booties? (if you said yes, you probably don’t need to read any further) It should be “tick tock”, as in the clock is ticking on George Gascon, the embattled Los Angeles County District Attorney. We at Orange County Bail Bonds support the recall effort, mainly because of Gascon’s stance on bail and bondsmen ( he’s against it) The recall campaign trying to oust Mister Gascón from office accumulated over 715,000 signatures in an effort to force the issue on the next ballot for voters in November. Those numbers ..read more

Here at Orange County Bail Bonds been talking about the recall effort to remove Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon because of his weak stance on crime and his position on bail (he’s against it). It’s interesting to look at the history of recall in the United States, and more specifically, in California. A recall election was designed originally to let the public remove an elected official before their term in office has ended. Unlike impeachment, which is an indictment for an alleged criminal act, a recall election is the public displeasure with an elected official for various reasons ..read more

It’s the act of a desperate man. George Gascon, Los Angeles County District Attorney facing a recall effort, has sent out an email asking for donations to fight his case.

Orange County Bail Bonds, and the bail industry in general are opposed to George Gascon’s policies which are soft on crime and criminals and wanting to eliminate bail. How many times must the people have to vote and protes ..read more

Here we go again. Sigh. Another “crime fighter” who’s actually soft on crime. Thankfully there’s a movement to recall said “fighter”- George Gascon. If anyone has been paying attention (and we hope you have been) we already talked about this at length when we discussed the various bills proposing the elimination of bail and bail bonds (see our blog at bailall.com). Along comes Mister Gascon who promptly ignores the will of the voters who overwhelmingly decided to keep cash bail as a deterrent to recidivist crime rather than trust a computer algorithm that can determine whether a murderer or a ..read more
