The above process looks simple on paper but might be much more complicated in reality. Consider the traumatizing effect of getting arrested by the police department, the effect on friends and family members as a loved one is affected by this, and the amount that will be set as bail, yes, all these are capable of turning the otherwise simple process on its head, giving you the hard time you never for once expected or imagined.

In most cases, people who have no prior experience with the criminal justice system or bail bonds, and find the process of getting arrested and being put in jail surreal.

Granted, the adrenaline at the point of arrest may phase out the fear, but soon enough, you are bound to start experiencing fear as you think about your life, your future, and the effect of the arrest on your life from here onwards.
