If you call the department that picked him up they should be able to answer. he should not be in there for very long just processing and releasing. I did this with my daughter in July but it makes you nervous when they walk away with your cash. hopefully there was someone who saw you give the officer the cash. |

I hope that was the cop at the police station who gave you a receipt for it. Otherwise it was just an extortion trick and that money is out but your husband is still in. |

Cops are not the cashiers of society. You dont give them money. Look at the ticket for instructions on payment or call the local police department for instructions. |

Everything is probably fine. He should be home soon.
You're a good wife.Tell him to pay his fines and not put you through the wringer. |

you gave the cop 200? why not give it to a court? looks like your husband isn't going anywhere for a while. tell him nto to drop the soap. doesn't really matter though he's in county not in prison. |

it depends on how busy they are at the jail and how fast his paperwork goes through. |

Sometimes it takes a while before they get out once the fines have been paid. Because the police do all their other business before they process him out. Just be patient. |

first of all, police officer are not bondsmen and they dont take money from you. if they came to pick him up at home you should have never given them the money. even if the police officer was being nice and ends up giving it to the bondsman he has vialated serious departmental policy. go to the jail and see the bondsman. when you get to the jail dont even ask for the officer in question. ask for his supervisor. |

Did you get a receipt for the $200? Have you contacted an attorney? Have you called the jail?
It could be anywhere from hours to days, and depending on the officer, the $200 payment could be all that's necessary (as well as a fine), or you simply lined the officer's pockets.
Get a lawyer. |

cops dont handle money. you should have went to pay his tickets and everything else. the judge would have probably released him on his own recognisinece |

I wouldn't listen to most of the fools on this site...police accept money all the time...it is called BAIL and if you did give this money to a real officer, was it the arresting officer? he probably was aware how much your husband would need to bail himself out....that said the lenth of time varies greatly depending on the department/jail ..could be minutes or hours,you could always call the police station where he is being booked and ask...good luck. |

Don't ever give money to the police, take it to the jail or to the court. He could say it was a bribe or never turn the money in. Did he give a receipt or something with the amount and his name on it, if not, you may got screwed. He should have been out by now. That happend to me once and I couldn't prove that I gave the cop the money without the receipt. Go or call the jail and ask about it now. |

Are you in Mexico or where? Down there, it could take years! In the US, it's mind boggling so your guess would be a s good as mind! |

first thing you do is call the chief of police and tell him, cops are not allowed to take money from you, that is between a bondsman and you. He can get into some serious sht. Never give money to a police officer. contact them immediately, only talk to the chief and if nothing is done than go to a lawyer and the local newspaper and put your story out there, they don't like negitive media attention and it will get the ball rolling |

It usually will take up to 2-3 hours
try to call your husbands work, maybe it was some kind of scam and your husband is ok? It would be very easy to dress as a police officer and go around the houses telling people that their relatives got arrested and ask for money, ehhe |
