The short of it is: nothing good.
No one “invites” legal problems to their life. No one grows up thinking, “Yes, I think I’d like to get in trouble with the law and spend some time in court.” But life never goes as planned, and so you might find yourself facing a judge before the court of law, with your court appointed lawyer, and your friends or family behind you, pulling for your freedom.
Eventually, the long discussion between the lawyers and the judge about some thing called “flight risk” ends, and the gavel is pounded. And you’re released on bail.
A friend or relative puts up money for your bail. If they or you cannot make the bail amount, then you go to a bail bondsman. The bail is supposed to guarantee that you will show up for your next court date. So what happens if you skip bail?
When and if you skip bail, the judge issues a bench warrant for your arrest. So now, instead of being “the accused,” you add “fugitive” to your profile. If for some reason you skipped bail on purpose and plan to be on the run, know that warrants have no 
expiration. And warrants are good in 50 states, which means that wherever you end up in for however long, the law will still catch up with you.
Case in point, a 40-year-old mom was taken into custody after returning to Florida when it was discovered she had a warrant of arrest for stealing a pack of cigarettes and not sticking around to finish her case. This happened when she was 19.
If it’s not the cops who find you, the bail bondsman could hire a bounty hunter to take you back and face charges. A bail bondsman has the right to secure the money he put up for your bail by hiring a bounty hunter. Know that bounty hunters will be aggressive.
Aside from the fact that you will always be looking over your shoulder constantly and never feel a moment of peace, jumping bail could also lead to financial problems for your friends or family who put up your bail. They will have to pay the entire amount for your bail. If they went to a bail bondsman, the bail agent will take the collateral they put up, like a house. For serious crimes, they may also be brought in for questioning to determine your whereabouts. Basically, their lives will be disrupted in the most troubling way.
Finally, jumping bail will add more jail time. Instead of just facing the minimum for the original charge, you will have to spend more time in jail for the new charge.
