Getting arrested is obviously a stressful experience, but posting a bail bond in the situation can alleviate a lot of anxiety by allowing an arrestee to maintain his or her current job and spend time with family while going through proceedings.

When people are arrested, they are usually sent to a county jail or a city jail. Bail will be set to assure the judge that the defendant, if released from custody, will be present in court. Some people may feel uneasy about going in front of a judge for the first time. But there are a few simple tips and rules of etiquette that can make the experience go smoothly. According to Yahoo Voices, one of the most important things to note is to always address the judge as "Your Honor."

Wearing proper attire to a court hearing is something that every defendant should be conscious of. For example, covering up any tattoos that may be offensive in court is important. Maintaining non-confrontational eye contact with the judge is also something the defendant will want to be sure to do, as it will give the impression of professionalism and compliance. If a judge is setting bail, he or she will try to determine whether the arrested individual is a flight risk, so it's important for this person to remain calm to reassure the judge that the flight risk is low.

Whatever the situation, being respectful while in the judge's presence will generally speed up the process and ensure a smooth transition back to the defendant's normal life.
