    There are also laws about who can post bail for you. My understanding is that they need to either have an actual relationship with you or be a licensed bondsman. Either be someone who can guilt you into going to court or who will hire a bounty hunter to haul you in.

    (And bail bonds are unfair bullshit, but that’s a different thing.)

      I don’t think this is a thing. The court could reject you if you’re suspicious, but I don’t think there are laws saying “you need a blood relationship to post bail for someone”
