Sounds like a no brainer to me...why spend even one night in the dipsey if you don't have to.I've seen quite a few people who had very low bails die in county jail...you never know what might happen in there.What do you guys think I should do? 12 days of community service + $320 fine or <12 days in the county? I have the time for community service, it's just a PITA.
That is my understanding as to how it works here also. This other warrant I mentioned is literally 10 years old. I may get credit for it while I was in previous. I hope, could also mean more time tacked on alsoI'm not aware how things work in Cali but here if you surrender and go in with an outstanding warrant to another county,you will not be released until someone from that county either contacts the jail or comes to take custody of you.
