Cheap bail premiums for union members

Friend and fellow blogger Michael Fidelis posted a this on his blog and I feel compelled to share it with my readers for a couple of reasons.  First, there is the self-evident statement which I find very interesting.  Talking about some bail companies are charging as little as 2%, Michael makes one short statement jumped out at me: 

"The standard rate premium in California is 10% percent of the total bail amount. The LOWEST rate premium in the State of California is 8% percent. The 8% premium ONLY applies to individuals that meet the following requirements: attorney referrals, AARP members, and Union members."

The second reason is that we are often faced with an emergent situation that requires us to make a leap of faith in our decision making.  Michael explains how your loved one can get the long end of bubba's stick if they use the wrong bail bond company upfront.  As with most things in life, do your homework and know the implications of the decisions you are making.

I encourage you to read the article in its entirety.  I learn something new everyday!
