More details to this question:
This case is from 2011. I was arrested, beat the ten day indictment rule and was released. They brought back up the charges and arrested me for it. I bonded out and went to court. They said I have no pending cases so I went to job corporations after job corporations. I was arrested again for that same charge so I bonded out. The charge is contributing to the delinquency of a minor because I shoplifted and the friend I was with was 17.

When you appear before the judge, he/she will likely review your conditions of release.? Since you have posted bond, the court can continue the conditions of release as they are and continue the bond.? If the D.A. decides that the bond is insufficient and wants to argue for an increase he will.? If not, he won't and if he doesn't the court is likely to leave the conditions as they are. It's more probable than not that the D.A. will not advance an argument to increase absent some compelling reasons.
