Criminal Threat Bail Bonds in San Diego County

Under California Penal Code 422, a criminal threat is a verbal or written specific and unequivocal threat to kill or physically harm someone that puts that person in a state of reasonable fear for his or her safety or for the safety of an immediate family member.

The bail amount for criminal threat is usually set at $15.000, but it can go up for serious offenses. In San Diego, bail is set initially based on a bail schedule, but it can be raised or lowered by a judge based on the charges filed by the District Attorney and the circumstances of the case.
