RULES OF APPLICATIONIntroduction: The Ventura Superior Court has adopted the attached uniform countywide bailschedule pursuant to Penal Code §1269b. It sets the presumptive bail amount, which isapplicable to warrantless arrestees until such time as a judge reviews the issue. When anarrest occurs pursuant to a warrant and the suspect is only booked on the warrant, bail shall beset in the amount of the warrant, unless otherwise ordered by a judge. The following rulesprovide guidance and establish procedures for implementation of the schedule.1.Check felony bail schedule first. Some offenses listed on the misdemeanor schedulehave subdivisions, which are felonies. The felony schedule applies to arrests under afelony subdivision. Example: Penal Code §273.6(d) is a felony listed on the felony bailschedule ( 20,000); all other subdivisions of Penal Code §273.6 fall under that listing onthe misdemeanor schedule ( 10,000).2.Listed section numbers include unlisted subdivisions. Examples: (1) On thefelony schedule Penal Code §261; 2) On the misdemeanor schedule Penal Code §422.6.3.Bail amount for unlisted offenses: Felonies– 10,000 17(b) misdemeanors*– one-half the felony bail Other misdemeanors– 2,500 *NOTE:Penal Code §17(b) provides that the District Attorney or court candeclare “wobbler” offenses to be misdemeanors. At the booking stage, the Felony BailSchedule applies to all wobbler offenses.4.Bail amount when suspect booked for violation of probation: Felony probations– No Bail Misdemeanor probations – 5,0005.Attempts, accessories, conspiracies and solicitations: The schedule shall be thesame as the target offense, but no less than the amount listed in the bail schedule. SeePenal Code §§32, 182, 653f, 653j, 664. Example: The bail for conspiracy to commit amisdemeanor would be no less than 20,000.6.Crimes committed while on bail, OR, and stays of jail time:Double standard bail for new offense, whether felony or misdemeanor.7.Crimes committed while on probation or diversion (including juvenile cases),suspect not booked on VOP: Add 5,000 for each misdemeanor probation or diversion Add 10,000 for each felony probation or diversionNOTE: This bail increase applies whenever booking officer has reasonable cause tobelieve probation exists, including by admission of the arrestee. Example: Suspectbooked for felony DUI is still on probation for two prior misdemeanor DUIs; the 20,000bail for felony DUI would be increased to 30,000 by adding 5,000 for each probation.2RULES

8.Multiple offenses: Normal rule: highest amount for most serious offense Exception for multiple victims of violent crimes: sum of highest amount for mostserious offense against each victim, not to exceed 500,000. Exception for multiple acts of violent crimes committed on separate occasions: sum ofthe highest for each occasion, not to exceed 500,000.9.Felony enhancements: Where any of the listed enhancements are present, the bailshall be set at the sum of the amount for the most serious offense and the amount of theenhancement. When the classification deputy is aware of facts, which appear to qualifyas an enhancement, the bail amount should be set accordingly and the facts andapplicable bail should be explained to the on-call magistrate. Examples: (1) Suspectbooked for second-degree robbery during which he personally shot and wounded thevictim; bail schedule is 300,000 [ 50,000 for Penal Code §211 plus 250,000 for PenalCode §12022.53(d)]. (2) Suspect booked for petty theft with a prior (Penal Code §666)has two prior convictions for offenses listed in Penal Code §667.5(c) or §1192.7(c); bailschedule is 260,000 [ 10,000 for the section 666 violation, plus 250,000 for the PenalCode §667(e)(2)(A) third strike enhancement].10.Bail increase declarations: Penal Code §§810(b) and 1269c require that informationrelated to requests for own recognizance release or bail less than the schedule beforwarded to the on-call magistrate. All law enforcement agencies are requested to makeavailable on request to arrestees and their attorneys, relatives, or friends Superior CourtForm 3000, “Declaration in Support of Motion to Set Bail Below Schedule or for OwnRecognizance Release.” Completed forms should be forwarded to the classification deputyat the Ventura County Jail, who will relay the information to the on-call magistrate.Requests to speak directly with the magistrate should be relayed to the magistrate by theclassification deputy. The individual magistrate will decide how to proceed from there, butthe purpose of the form is to make most such contacts unnecessary.11.Challenges to source of bail: Effective January 1, 1999, a peace officer or prosecutormay challenge the source of bail in any case rather than only in drug cases. When such adeclaration is filed, or when the classification deputy is aware of facts suggesting afelonious source, bail should not be accepted until the on-call magistrate is contacted.This contact must occur within 24 hours of the filing of the declaration. If the magistratefinds probable cause that bail has been feloniously obtained, bail must not be accepteduntil the arrestee proves a legitimate source of bail to the magistrate or in court. If noprobable cause is found, normal release procedures apply. See Penal Code §1275.1.12.Special rule for serious and violent felonies, stalking, and misdemeanordomestic violence: For any offense listed in Penal Code §1270.1(a), release beforearraignment on bail either more or less than the bail schedule amount is forbidden. Thiscode section is confusing, but appears to allow pre-arraignment release if the on-callmagistrate sets bail at the schedule amount. If a higher or lower amount is set or if3RULES

Own Recognizance (O.R.) release is granted, the arrestee cannot be released beforearraignment even if bail is posted. If a dangerous situation presents itself, the on-callmagistrate should be contacted immediately. Example: Shortly after magistrate sets bailon “routine” spousal battery (Penal Code §273.5) at the schedule of 20,000, the frightenedvictim calls and reveals that earlier this same day she testified against this same defendantin a felony stalking prosecution in Los Angeles for which the current battery was aretaliation. Before 20,000 bail is accepted, this new information should be revealed to theon-call magistrate. If the magistrate increases bail, the suspect cannot be released prior toarraignment. If the magistrate leaves bail at 20,000, the arrestee would be released if thatamount is posted. Note: For purposes of this rule, the bail schedule amount is the listedfigure without regard to any increases provided for in these rules. Accordingly, when bail isincreased pursuant to these rules for an offense listed in Penal Code §1270.1, the arresteemay not be released before arraignment. Example: A spousal battery arrestee (Penal Code§273.5) is currently on probation for a misdemeanor violation of the same offense. VenturaCounty Bail Schedule Rules 7 and 14 will increase the bail substantially from the scheduleamount of 20,000. Consequently, that arrestee cannot be released prior to a hearing inopen court, pursuant to Penal Code §1270.1.13.Special rule for domestic violence with similar priors: Double standard bail forfelony or misdemeanor domestic violence (Penal Code §§243(e), 245 if domestic, 262,273.5, 273.6, 273.65, 422) where there is reasonable cause to believe arrestee has a priorconviction for an offense on the Domestic Violence Enhancement List, except that the 100,000 bail for felony stalking would not be doubled by such a prior. The DomesticViolence Enhancement List includes the following offenses and their out-of-stateequivalents, both felonies and misdemeanors: Penal Code §§187, 192(a), 203, 207, 209,210.5, 211, 215, 220, 243(d), 243(e), 243.4, 244, 244.5, 245, 261, 273.5, 273.6, 273.65,286, 288, 288.5, 288a, 289, 417, 422, 451, and any felony in which an allegation thatdefendant inflicted great bodily injury or used or was armed with a firearm or deadlyweapon was found true. Note: Rule 14 should apply before other increases required byother rules are applied. Example: A misdemeanor domestic battery arrestee (Penal Code§243(e)) is on probation for a felony drug offense and has a prior misdemeanor 273.5conviction. The 273.5 prior will double the normal bail from 5,000 to 10,000; the felonyprobation then adds 10,000 for a total bail of 20,000.14.Special rule regarding ineligibility for OR release: Effective in 1999, Penal Code§1319.5 requires a hearing in open court before any of the following can be released onown recognizance: Anyone currently on felony probation or felony parole. Anyone with three or more failure to appear warrants in the last three years notinvolving the Vehicle Code currently arrested for any felony or certain misdemeanorsspecified in section 1319.5.15.Out-of-county holds: The Felony Bail Schedule applies (minimum 10,000) to out-ofcounty holds when no amount has been previously established or shown on a warrant.4RULES
