Loitering in California is a little difficult to define. Loitering is essentially the act of hanging out somewhere when you don’t have any particular need to be in that place. Sitting in a restaurant and chatting with friends even though you are no longer eating, lingering at the bus stop so you can people watch, and soaking up the sun in a convenience store parking lot are all examples of loitering.

Rather than disappointing and upsetting Mom in the days before Mother’s Day by admitting to her your sibling has been arrested, take action and bail them out of jail. Just because they have been arrested does not mean they will be missing Mother’s Day. Bailing out of jail is a short process, but it is a very worthwhile one, not only because they can be home for Mother’s Day, but because they can be home for all the other days after that, before and during her trial; by bailing out of jail, your sibling is allowed to return home, go back to work, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy their time and freedom.

There are two options to post bail. The first is to pay the entire amount in cash to the court...

There are a lot of places out there that require clients to put something up as collateral when a lot of money is involved. This can include getting a bail bond.

As you are well aware, the presidential election is just days away. We urge all everyone to vote, including loved ones who recently completed parole after getting out of prison.

It helps that your loved one’s voting rights are automatically restored upon completion of parole, so no further action is required on their part. Unfortunately, if you have any loved ones who are still completing parole, or are still serving time in prison, they cannot vote.
