Question: In the state of Georgia, if one is required to pay a cash bond for pretrial release, and does, can additional conditions be applied to that bond? I.e. probation, random drug screening, random times and dates required for appearances to a probation officer. Keeping in mind there are no prior convictions.

Answer: How can a person report to a probation officer when they are paying a cash bond? You got that all wrong. The person is being put on a pre-trial release, because they do not have all of the money to make a cash bond. In which case, all sort of conditions can be added to the bond. Why? Because the person has not proven themselves responsible enough to be able to have money for a bond. So, prior convictions do not matter. We are in the US, where cash is king.
