5 Things You Should Know About Your Rights

Posted on by

At Memphis Bail Bonds, we serve to protect the rights of those who have been arrested, whether that person is truly guilty of the crime or not. That’s why we offer an unmatched bail bond service. We are the most reliable and affordable bail bond agency.

If you are arrested, it is first and foremost important that you know your own rights:

  • You have the right to remain silent
  • You have the right to legal counsel
  • You have the right to know the charges against you
  • You have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty
  • You have the right to non-excessive bail

Memphis Bail Bonds will help you protect these rights by helping you bail out of jail. It is not right to hold you in jail until court (you haven’t been formally found guilty yet!) and it is not right to “force” you to stay in jail because you cannot afford your expensive bail. This is where Memphis Bail Bonds can help you. To make an appointment, please call us immediately at (615)544-0000.

Consequences of Making Annoying Phone Calls

Posted on by

To you making an annoying phone call might not seem like a big deal. In fact, it’s something many of us did when we were bored teenagers. If you did, hopefully, you outgrew the prank because in this day and age, making an annoying phone call is a misdemeanor. That’s right! Each time you pick up the phone and place an annoying call, you’re breaking the law.

Most of the annoying phone call incidents that generate police attention are either obscene or threatening, the victim is truly threatened and/or terrified. That doesn’t mean prank calls are allowed. A person is free to contact the police if they are getting irritating phone calls when those calls happen over and over again.

It’s important to understand that making annoying phone calls isn’t an infraction. It’s a isdemeanor, which means a conviction will result in you getting a permanent criminal record. If you’re convicted, you could be sentenced to spending six months in jail and/or charged a $1,000 fine.

Other things that fall into the category of annoying phone calls include:

  • Text messages
  • Unwanted emails
  • Letters sent via fax
  • Unsolicited smartphone photos

The best way to avoid getting charged with annoying phone calls is to stop and consider if you would consider the call annoying, threatening, or repetitive. If you would, don’t make the call.
