For most crimes in Florida, the court will allow an individual to bail out of jail pending that charge. Only the most severe charges prohibit a person from posting bail or bond. In most cases, whether the defendant faces a misdemeanor or felony charge, a court will look at the facts of the case and the defendant’s record to determine whether or not that record demonstrates a flight risk or a failure to appear history. If not, the court will set what it believes to be a reasonable bail amount.
