What is the difference between bail and police bond?
Any person arrested and taken to a police station for breaking the law may be released until the police completes its findings. The guarantee that he or she will turn up whenever required to do so by the police is known as police bond. No money is paid on police bond.
If a police officer asks for money to release one on bond, report the officer to higher police authorities. Whereas bail is release of an accused person by court before completion of the case on the understanding that the released person will turn up for his or her trial or whenever required.
The accused will be required to give security inform of cash or some other property.
