What is a 1275 Hold?

When someone is arrested and they are being charged with a crime that has to do with money or drugs, the court will sometimes put a 1275 Hold on a person.  A 1275 hold is in reference to the Penal Code 1275.1, which states that bail money obtained illegally will not be accepted.  It also states that if there is probable cause to suspect that the money or property used to post bail may come from criminal activity, then bail will not be accepted.  The hold can only be removed in court.  If your loved one has been arrested and they have a 1275 Hold, call Golden Eagle Bail Bonds at 877-525-1711.  As long as you can provide the court proof of where the money comes from, then the hold can be removed.  We have assisted many defendants and their families to help get the hold removed and bail posted.
