First of all, don't believe everything you see on TV. Second of all, you posted this question under "Personal Injury," which is meant for people who have been hurt in accidents. Your question is about "Criminal Law" so you're in the wrong place. And besides, in a criminal case, you always have your own lawyer to ask questions to. If you can't aford one, then you get a public defender, so go ask your lawyer. He will know more about your particular case than anybody on this website.
No I cant .Bail for certain offenses is listed under the Bail schedule for each county.Go to the website for the county where you are charged and it should help you understand the amount.
And I agree with Mr.Molloy but I go one step further ,dont believe any thing you hear you see or hear on TV
