Q: In Wisconsin, if a signature bond is set per case, does the court require a down payment as a % of a signature bond?
A non-trustworthy individual has told me that they need X amount of money because it helps cover their $500 deposit with the courts. However, after reading their case, the language of the case is as below.
If any amount of cash was owed to the courts as a condition of bail, wouldn't that be denoted within the court records?
Court notes read:
Your signature bond is set in the amount of $500 per case. You may be responsible for paying this amount if you miss a court date or do not follow the conditions of your release.
- Defendant shall report to the **** Jail to complete the booking/fingerprinting process within 10 days of today.
- *****
Parties stipulated to waive the time limits for Preliminary Hearing.
