Getting a tether
My boyfriend was arrested in oakland county and needs a tether as part of being released, I was told that he has to pay 500- 600 dollars at the time of placement of the tether? Is this true? I thought it was paid through restitution?

Re: Getting a tether
Tether companies expect to be paid up front for the installation and first month of service. Typically this costs about $600 as you are finding out. Installation is about $150 and the cost per month is about $450. If you need help with this contact my office at 248.705.3742.
Re: Getting a tether
You have to make arrangements with the pretrial services. They will want the money ahead of time and it can be be pretty expensive. Maybe you ought to file a motion to rid the tether/reduce bond. Daniel Hajji 248.865.4700
