How much is bail for PC 148?

Bail for PC 148 normally starts from the county bail schedule where the case is filed, so the amount differs by county and by how the charge is filed. An agent can look up the actual bail on the booking and explain the bond terms on the call.

Can a bond be written on a PC 148 case?

In most cases yes, once bail has been set. Some charges are set by a judge instead of the schedule, and in serious cases a court may decline to set bail — an agent will tell you what the booking shows.

Someone was just arrested. What do I do first?

Call (818) 805-0467. Have the person's full name, date of birth, and the city or jail where they were booked. A licensed California bail agent can look up the booking and explain the bail amount and options on that first call.

What information does the agent need from me?

Name, date of birth, and the city, county, or facility. A booking number or charge code helps but is not required. The agent will also ask who plans to sign for the bond.

How much does a bail bond cost?

The premium is a percentage of the bail amount, based on rates the surety has filed with the California Department of Insurance. Because it depends on the bail set and the surety involved, the agent reviews the exact figure with you on the call rather than quoting a number on a web page.

Is collateral required?

Most bonds are written with no collateral. Whether collateral is requested depends on the bond amount and the company's underwriting.

Do you offer payment plans?

Low down payments and flexible plans are available on many bonds. The schedule depends on the bond amount and a short phone review by the independent bail bond company writing it.

PC 148 Resisting or Obstructing an Officer Bail Bonds in California

Penal Code 148 covers willfully resisting, delaying, or obstructing an officer performing their duties. It is commonly a misdemeanor and is often booked alongside another charge. An agent can look up how the county schedule treats PC 148 and explain what the surety requires; the superior court still has the final word on the amount. PC 148 resisting or obstructing an officer cases are booked all over California, and the bail attached depends on the county where the case lands. An agent can read the booking, tell you the bail actually set, and explain the bond terms — but questions about the charge itself belong with a defense attorney. Call (818) 805-0467 any hour with the name, date of birth, and county.

Bail on a PC 148 booking

1Call with the name, date of birth, and the city or jail. The agent confirms whether PC 148 is the booked charge and what bail the record shows.
2Because each county publishes its own schedule, the same PC 148 allegation can carry a different presumptive amount in one county than in another.
3Once bail is known, the agent explains the premium and any payment plan, and paperwork is signed remotely.
4After the bond posts, the case proceeds in that county's Superior Court, and every appearance has to be kept.

What this code covers

This page is general information about how bail works on a PC 148 booking, filed under public order. It is not legal advice and says nothing about any particular case. A defense attorney or the public defender's office is the right place for questions about the charge itself.

Bail on a PC 148 booking is set by the court — either from the county bail schedule at booking or by a judge at the first appearance. No bail agent sets, lowers, or guarantees an amount, and no page can tell you the figure in advance. An agent reads the amount off the booking record and explains the bond terms on the call.

What to have ready when you call

Full name and date of birth
Spelled as it appears on ID. Jails file bookings by name and DOB, so this is what lets an agent find the record.
City, county, or jail
Where the arrest or booking happened. Even the city is enough to narrow down the facility.
Booking number or charge, if you have it
Not required, but it speeds up the lookup. A charge code such as PC 245 or VC 23152 helps too.
Who will sign
Bonds are signed by an adult who can be reached by phone. The agent will explain what signing involves before anything is finalized.

If you are missing something, call anyway — an agent can often work from a name and a city.
