Things Happen Differently If You Are Currently In The Military
Becoming an enlisted military member in the United States comes with prestige. Although the position attracts several benefits such as health insurance, retirement pension, and education benefits, it has its drawbacks, especially if you are arrested for committing a crime. If you are an active military member, things are slightly different after an arrest compared to the civilians.
But what will you do once you/ or your loved one, who is an enlisted service member, is arrested? Can a bond dealer help, and how is the military judicial process different from the civilian?
Can I Post Bail After An Arrest?
If you’ve been arrested for a crime off-post or off-base, don’t write yourself off, even soldiers make mistakes. What you need is excellent legal representation.
Some military member’s legal process takes place in a civilian court that depends on the crime. In this case, you are subject to the same paperwork, prosecution, and bail hearing as public members. Besides, the Uniform Code of Military Justice allows you to seek assistance from a bail bondsman.
So, after the arrest, get in touch with a bail bondsman to facilitate your release from custody as soon as possible. That way, you’ll have ample time to prepare for the court hearing.
What Does The Military Code Of Conduct Entail?
In the United States, all enlisted members of the military are under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). After World War II, the Congress created UCMJ code to form a uniform and fair criminal justice system for all military branches.
UCMJ Criminal Code has similar crimes to the civilian law. These are crimes such as assault, robbery, rape and murder. Also, it has military-based offenses such as insubordination and AWOL. It outlines the punishment a military member is entitled to after committing any of the crimes.
Most important is that it provides military members with procedural rights. For instance, they are entitled to a free military defense lawyer, a civilian defense lawyer (at the service member’s expense) right to a fair trial, and the right to post bond.
What Happens After The Arrest Of An Enlisted Military Personnel?
What happens to you mainly depends on the location of the incident. If you committed a crime while on base, you are subject to military prosecution. For example, if you are charged with a Driving under the Influence offense, you’ll be answerable to a military court.
Such an offense is considered severe, and you could be in trouble with both the unit and the state. Your unit will discipline you for such things as disorderly conduct charges, confinement to base, and substance abuse, while the state will charge you for the DUI offense.
Most crimes that happen off-base are subjected to State military trial over civilian proceedings.
In the civilian world, the reality is that the Bail Bond Industry is set up for only one purpose and that is making sure you will show up in court while staying out of jail until the process is completed and settled.
Don’t hesitate to call Bail Stop Bail Bonds with any questions you may have about your situation or the bail process in the state of Nevada.
