LEAST RESTRICTIVE RELEASE

Written promise = no money posted; defendant signs to appear
Unsecured bond = amount stated but not posted; owed if FTA
Appropriate for first offenses, misdemeanors, strong community ties
No prior FTA history strongly supports this release type
Magistrate sets at initial appearance; judge can modify anytime

IF DEFENDANT FAILS TO APPEAR

Written promise: FTA order issued; arrest warrant follows

Unsecured bond: defendant liable for stated bond amount

No money was posted, so no cash forfeiture — but civil judgment possible

Defendant receives copy of all conditions at signing

CONDITIONS MUST BE SPECIFIC

All conditions must be specifically listed on the order
Vague conditions are unenforceable in NC courts
Defendant must receive a copy of the signed order
Magistrate or judge must explain conditions to defendant
Travel restrictions must specify counties or states affected
