in the USA you have to pay 10% of what the bail's set at to be released (if it were $100k you'd have to pay $10k). Then, if you "skip" on your bail and don't show up for court the full amount is taken from whoever bailed you out. at which point you have more charges filed against you & the cops come-a-knockin'.
I'm just wondering if that's the norm in other countries?
