Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Bail upon Probation Violation or Revocation
My probation has been revoked and a warrant for my arrest has been issued in the amount of $1,000 (extremely low). This is strange because I had a previous probation violation and bail was set at $10,000. Are arrest warrants for probation revocations usually no bail (must hold), even though a $ amount is stated on the warrant?

It seems to me that this is some kind of trick so I will appear in court thinking that I will be able to afford to bail out, but when I am in front of the judge, he will have me taken into custody immeditaly without allowing bail. Is this possible?

Re: Bail upon Probation Violation or Revocation

If the judge wanted you to be in jail, s/he would have issued a no-bail warrant. Why play games? If the bail is set at $1000, that's the bail.
