Penal Code 1275 Holds on Bail at Pitchess
Penal Code Section 1275.1 states that if there is probable cause to suspect that the money orproperty being used to post bail may come from criminal activity, bail will not be accepted. This is called a 1275 Hold.
Any person who plays a part in the arresting or prosecution process can place the PC 1275 Hold on the bail. This means that they believe the money being used to bail a person out of jail comes from illegal activity. The money may be believed to come from drug dealing, gang-related activities, embezzlement, theft, or extortion. Any of these activities would make the money that came from them ineligible for paying bail.
Bail is offered as a way to ensure that an individual shows up for all of the court proceedings surrounding his or her charges. The court assumes that illegal funds being used to pay for bail means that they won't care enough about the money to continue to appear for court proceedings, should the court allow them to be free on bail.

If a1275 Hold has been placed on someone's bail, a hearing will be held to determine whetheror not the money that will be used to pay the bail is, in fact, from illegal sources.
