What happens when you break a court order?
My boyfriend’s brother was convicted of unarmed robbery but does not start his 2.5 year sentence until next month. He is 19 years old. Before he goes, he plans to go out of state on spring break with his friends, although we have advised him not to (seeing that he isn’t allowed to leave the state). My boyfriend and his mother paid a bondsman to get him released when he was first arrested. What are the consequences for the idiot brother and for my boyfriend and his mother? I’m trying to get them to stop him from going.

They are contributing to the crime and he will most certainly have his ROR revoked and possibly an enhancement added to his sentence if he is caught. You have tried to stop it; at this point, you can either talk to the bondsmen and explain what could happen and see if he can revoke the bond and haul him into jail early or talk the boyfriend and mother out of helping this individual.
