Ik this may seem like a weird question but I j need some answers.
If your like a billionaire right, and you do a bunch of petty crimes. Couldn't you just bail yourself out every time since your rich. Ik if u keep doing stuff like that you lose the privilege of bail but what is that rule called?

Answer:

Under state and federal law, failure to appear in court after bailing out of jail violates not only a court order but also constitutes a separate offense. As a result, defendants who "jump bail" can face multiple consequences, including:

- forfeiting their bond (the amount they paid for bail)

- continuing to face the pending criminal charges, and

- potentially facing additional charges for bail jumping.

Because bail jumping is its own offense, the defendant's innocence as to the charges that led to arrest typically isn't a defense to the failure to appear.
