In the past those who paid cash for the full amount bond could opt out of having fees, fines and other costs deducted. However the legislature has now closed that option....
The 2005 Florida Statutes: Title XLVII CRIRE AND CORRECTIONS Chapter 903 BAIL 903.286 Return of cash bond; requirement to withhold unpaid fines, fees, and court costs.--Notwithstanding the provisions of s. 903.31(2), the clerk of the court shall withhold from the return of a cash bond posted on behalf of a criminal defendant by a person other than a bail bond agent licensed pursuant to chapter 648 sufficient funds to pay any unpaid court fees, court costs, and criminal penalties. In the event that sufficient funds are not available to pay all unpaid court fees, court costs, and criminal penalties, the clerk of the court shall immediately obtain payment from the defendant or enroll the defendant in a payment plan pursuant to s. 28.246. |

Tips from Action Plus:

Did you know? Did you know If a police officer comes to your door, the first thing you should do is ask to see his warrant? Without a warrant, you are not required to give the officer the time of day, let alone allow him to explain the reasons for being at your door or heaven forbid, permit the officer to enter your home. If the officer does not have a warrant, don’t slam the door, be abusive or yell. JUST SHUT THE DOOR. |
