When you or a loved one is taken into custody, the immediate concern is the risk of exposure to the Coronavirus in the Los Angeles County jail system. This is a pressing issue, especially considering the cramped conditions and the heightened risk of infection.
This is whether you're housed in the Twin Towers, the wayside, or the county jail of Bauchet Street. You're five to fifteen times more likely to get the Coronavirus than the average person because you're smashed in like a sardine with other people.
The bottom line is that we have some compelling arguments to prevent a person from being trapped in jail during this ongoing pandemic. One of the most significant ones is that the Los Angeles County Superior Court and the authorities have recently issued an order that all bail is no bail, with ten exceptions to that rule. This offers a glimmer of hope for those in custody.
Of course, in the most severe cases. If you're endangering the public, you are a lot more likely to have to post bail. If you cause significant bodily injury to somebody during a GBI, you will have to post bail because that is a violent felony. It's a strike, and that's one of the exceptions to the rule.

But for the most part, we've got an excellent chance to get a person out of custody during the Coronavirus because of the threat to their safety, and there's not that much that the sheriffs can do to protect people.
This is because of the close quarters in the county jail and because several people have been infected. Several people in county jail in Los Angeles are quarantined right now.
Several sheriff's deputies have also been impacted. So, it's a serious concern right now, even for DUI cases in which you don't want to be arrested.
Not only are you exposed to the Coronavirus in county jail, but you're also exposed to the virus while you're in the local prison because, again, you have a lot of people going through there. They're not the most sanitary locations, and it's tricky to practice social distancing when you're in a jail setting.
Retain an Experienced DUI Lawyer

Danger to the Public
One of the key arguments that we will have to get around is a danger to the public. Of course, we want to make sure you show up for court, which is one of the considerations.
But when it comes to this sort of stuff, if you're drinking, driving, getting in accidents, going 100 miles an hour, hurting people, that's going to be something that will trump the Coronavirus, and they won't care. They'll leave you in custody because they don't want to let you out of custody, and then somebody ends up getting hurt or killed because they gave you a break because of the coronavirus.
A lot of this stuff when it comes to DUIs, bails, whatever the case may be, is common sense, and that's why it's so crucial to have an attorney who has handled cases precisely like yours, been down the path that you're going to travel and has had success, and that's what we do.
