YOU HAVE LOST THE RIGHT TO BE FREE
Once your bond is revoked, you are no longer allowed to be free. You will be arrested if an officer can find you and bring you back to jail while you await your trial. This also revokes any other chance you may have to be released on bail.
YOU WILL FORFEIT THE BOND
If you have broken your word related to the bond or other items that have taken place that has caused your bond to be revoked, you will not get the bond back. It becomes the property of the court and is lost. This includes both personal items or money that you have used to secure your bond.
YOU WILL GO BEFORE A JUDGE AGAIN
After your bond is revoked and you have been arrested again, you will be brought before a judge and informed about the status of your case and what the forfeiture means for you. This status might impact the rest of the proceedings and could even bring your case to trial.
