Special Conditions for Domestic Violence Release
Domestic violence cases in California often involve conditions that do not apply to other charges:
Mandatory cooling-off period. California Penal Code 1270.1 may require that a defendant arrested for domestic violence be held for a minimum period before release. This hold can be up to 24 hours, though actual practice varies by facility and the circumstances of the case.
Emergency protective order. The arresting officer may request an emergency protective order from a judge, which takes effect immediately and prohibits the defendant from contacting or coming near the alleged victim. This order remains in effect for up to seven days.
Criminal protective order. At arraignment, the court may issue a criminal protective order that restricts contact between the defendant and the alleged victim for the duration of the case. Violating a protective order is a separate criminal offense.
These conditions are set by the court and law enforcement — not by the bail bond company. We can explain what conditions apply and what they mean for the defendant.
