There’s nothing like getting free legal advice on a gun trading site!
It is criminal? It's at least docketed criminal and fashion SoGA Vs. xxxxxx xxxxxx.
No attorneys involved.
Exactly, there's no ****ing prosecutor but this **** is somehow a criminal action.
Members of the crack ODT legal team will be along briefly.

There has to be an attorney on here who's dealt with one of these before???

Welcome to the 18th century. We don't need no stinking Bill of Rights.
Good behavior bonds used to be a lot more punitive when they were called Peace Bonds.
Lets just say that your little lady had someone on the side she wanted to see on the weekend. She could go down to the Justice of the Peace on Friday afternoon, swear out a Peace Bond, and you would be locked up until Monday morning when the next court hearings were held. Course by then, she needed you to go back to work, so she just wouldn't show up, and the Peace Bond was dismissed. Good times.
The Bond for Good Behavior is in fact a civil action, or quasi-civil action, as no crime is alleged. There is no discovery or other frills that apply to most civil actions, because the courts that issue Bonds for Good Behavior are not courts of records, which is the threshold for all the fou-fa-rah. I know that doesn't make much sense, so just take my word.
The law on Peace Bonds was reformed when they were changed to Bonds for Good Behavior several decades ago, but Georgia being Georgia, word may not have worked it's way to down to some of the more remote counties and sheriff's dept. The respondent (defendant) shouldn't be arrested before a hearing, and even after the hearing, he won't be arrested if he posts the bond. That's the biggest difference between the current Bond for Good Behavior and the old Peace Bond - with the old Peace Bond, you were arrested and held until you could go in front of the JP.

It's docketed as criminal, it's styled State of Georgia vs. xxxxx xxxxx and there's threat of loss of freedom......that's a criminal proceeding.
Even the clerks admitted it's a criminal action.
