The county line runs through this area
Cerritos, Artesia and La Mirada sit within a few minutes of Orange County, and the two counties handle bail completely differently. Los Angeles County releases most non-violent, non-serious arrests before arraignment at $0 bail; Orange County runs a conventional dollar schedule with no such protocol and does not display charges in its public system. The same conduct a mile apart produces a different night, and it is the city of arrest that decides. See pre-arraignment release.
What to do first
- Confirm which county and which agency made the arrest.
- Search the right system — LA County inmate search publishes nothing for the first two hours.
- Get the charge and read the protocol column before assuming a bond is needed — LA County bail amount lookup.
- Check for holds — how to check for a warrant.
