QUESTION
Am I liable if they accidentally gave my entire bond back?
Asked on Feb 24th, 2014 on Criminal Law - New Jersey
More details to this question:
I am being charged with a felony domestic dispute. I signed over my tax refund check to bail myself out. The check was significantly larger than my bail so I had to go back and collect the difference. They gave me the entire check amount back in the form of 2 debit cards. My case is not dismissed and the charges still hold, I checked online. Will they issue a warrant for my arrest? Do I need to keep my bond amount just in case or is it the court's failure to keep my bond not going to affect me?

You must have an active bond. Since you realized the error, you had a responsibility to correct it. You have time to do so.

You should call the court and ask the bail status. If there is a bail and its not paid, next time you go to court they will process you until it is paid.
