If you are between 18 and 20 years of age, and recently tried to buy cigarettes at the same store you have legally purchased cigarettes from in the past only to be denied the transaction, it is because California raised the legal smoking age from 18 to 21, and the new law just went into effect a few weeks ago.

Somewhat awkwardly and uncomfortably, without a real smooth transition, this leaves many young adults suddenly unable to purchase cigarettes anymore, going from smoking regularly to not anymore. That is the hope at least, but face it, it is not hard to bum a cigarette off another person.

California is the second state to raise the minimum smoking age in an effort to curb smoking among young adults...

The more prevalent social media becomes in our everyday lives, the more cautious we have to be with what we post on it. Something you post can incriminate you without you initially realizing it.

For example, you might have heard that singer and actress Vanessa Hudgens is under investigation for allegedly defacing the protected red rocks in Arizona. She and her boyfriend scratched initials into a rock and posted a photo on Instagram. This is a misdemeanor crime with a penalty of up to 6 months in jail and/ or a fine of up to $5,000.

The key lessons to take away:

Be careful about what you post on social media.
Know the laws of the places you travel to. It might be okay to scratch a rock at the beach, but not protected ones in national parks or Native American reservations.

That is why bail bond agents specialize in assisting those that need some help posting bail and put up the money that they need for a more reasonable fee.

Another reason these agents are so popular is the fact that they can often secure the release of an individual far faster than most other methods...

Bail bonds are something that we often hear or talk about, but that many people do not actually fully understand. TV shows such as Dog the Bounty Hunter have made more people aware that bail bonds and bail bondsmen are out there, but very few people know about the actual bail bonds process, and especially the process within California.

The easiest and simplest way to describe bail bonds is to first begin how the process works if someone makes the decision to put up a Cash Bail. For example, let’s consider the fact that bail may be set for a certain individual at $10,000 for a California bail bonds incident. In that type of situation, a friend or family member of the person in trouble can gather $10,000 and use it in order to get the person out of jail...
