Greg Padilla Bail Bonds

10/25/2025

For decades, scams and schemes have been occurring where thieves call unsuspecting victims, claiming a loved one is in jail or that they have a warrant for their arrest, and then demand payment with a debit card. Sometimes, these individuals portray themselves as employees of the sheriff's department and/or bail bondsmen.

Please share this video nationwide, as this is not just happening in Sacramento, It Is happening nationwide. We do not want anyone to be scammed out of money. If you or a loved one receives a call as described in this video, take steps to verify the call by contacting your local law-enforcement agency and/or a trusted source, such as a legitimate bail bondsman.

Even in our profession as a Licensed Bail Agent, there are bail bondsmen who will "cold call" people, telling them someone is in jail without being asked to do so. This practice is gross and needs to be stopped. Beware of these scams, especially if you are an elderly person or someone who might not understand what is going on and can fall victim to a financial scam.

Thank you, Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper, for putting this post out to the public. https://fb.watch/CV9vAoZFhF/?mibextid=wwXIfr&fs=e

Before you get to this point in your life, look to change your ways and your environment. https://www.facebook.com/61575256294194/videos/1139233641411264/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&mibextid=wwXIfr&fs=e

URGENT - PLEASE SHARE IMMEDIATELY: Bail agencies throughout the country compensate their employees in different ways. If somebody works hourly or in a salary position, the income from a bail bond they transacted will have to be returned if Senator Angelique Ashby's bill SB562 were enacted.

Some bail agents work on commission for compensation. If the premium is returned on a bail bond they worked on, that commission must be returned. This will leave employers in a terrible financial position with the labor laws of California, in having to deduct premiums from agent’s paychecks retroactively.

PLEASE SHARE IMMEDIATELY: The bail bond profession has never been put in a position of having to judge clients on their guilt or innocence. If California State Senator Angelique Ashby's SB562 bill becomes law, we will be forced to become the judge and defendants will lose the ability to quickly bail out of jail.

As owners and agents within a bail bond agency, it's not in our business' interest to initiate the process of bail, only for the court to demand we refund the insurance premiums immediately.

This approach will place bail agents in the unfortunate position of judging an inmate's innocence or guilt, which will lead inmates and their families or friends to not only discuss sensitive case information over non-confidential phone lines, but to also extend their incarceration before any court action, including securing a bail bond, can be taken.

SB562 is bad for California, and even worse for the bail bond profession who provide the guarantee for defendants to attend all their court dates, AT NO COST TO TAXPAYERS.

PLEASE SHARE: SB 562, authored by Senator Angelique Ashby, violates Proposition 103 because it requires a rebate of 80% of the bail bond premium without going through the California Insurance Commissioner’s rate-setting process.

This process ensures that the proposed rebate complies with the Insurance Commissioner’s duty to determine if an action on an insurance rate results in a confiscatory rate, which is not permitted.

The Insurance Commissioner must also ensure that the rebate provides a fair and reasonable return on the insurer’s investment.

We encourage you to contact your local CA Senator and voice your opposition to SB562 today. Click this link to find your state Senator here: https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

Currently, there is a Bill SB 562 in the legislature being carried by Sen. Angelique Ashby, that would make us as bail bonds return 80% of the premium we collect and earn, if the District Attorney does not file charges. This will decimate our profession. There are so many risks to this Bill that will hurt and cause issues to victims, law enforcement, DA’s, courts to start. The big blow will be to people that are arrested in that we will start vetting our clients while in-custody and not bailing some of them out of jail if we feel the DA might not file charges on their case.

For decades, certain members of the California legislature have sought to undermine the constitutional right to bail by targeting the bail bond profession. They purport to act in the interest of fairness; however, removing an individual's ability to secure their release from jail without government oversight would severely disrupt our criminal justice system.

In 2018, Californians decisively rejected Proposition 25—an attempt to abolish this fundamental right—by a margin exceeding two million votes statewide.

Currently, our profession faces another significant threat. Senator Angelique Ashby has introduced Senate Bill 562, which poses serious risks not only to the bail bond sector but also potentially affects broader segments of the insurance industry due to its far-reaching implications.

We urge stakeholders and concerned citizens alike to take immediate action against SB 562. It is imperative that we preserve both individual rights and professional integrity within our legal framework.

Our Family has been in the bail bond profession since 1979, when my father Greg Padilla and my mother Glynna Padilla began their careers as bail agents and opened Central Valley Bail Bonds. What quickly became their strength was the compassion and customer service they had for the family and friends of people that were incarcerated as well as those who found themselves in jail needing our services. We recognize that in America, we have the Constitutional Right to Bail, and at Greg Padilla Bail Bonds we take that duty very serious and do so with the utmost “Dignity and Respect” to all of those we serve.

Our family has grown to three generations operating Greg Padilla Bail Bonds with Greg, our founder, myself Topo, having been a licensed bail agent for 41 years and my son Brandon Padilla, who has been a licensed bail agent for almost 13 years.
