Which of the following is NOT considered a bond alternative?

A bail bond is a legal agreement in which a bail bondsman provides a guarantee to the court that a defendant will appear for their scheduled court dates in exchange for a fee. This is a traditional method for obtaining release from custody while awaiting trial and is thus considered a standard form of bail rather than an alternative.

Assuming "bond alternatives" refer to other methods by which individuals can secure their release without using traditional bail bonds, the other options fit into various categories that allow for release:

• Cash at Station implies that an individual may post a cash amount directly to the police department at the time of booking, essentially an immediate payment that acts as bond.

• A driver’s license can sometimes be used as a form of identification and assurance to the court of the individual's ties to the community, serving as a promise that they will return.

• Promise to Comply is an informal agreement where a defendant may promise to adhere to certain conditions or return for court appearances without needing a formal bond.

Thus, identifying bail bonds as not being a bond alternative is accurate because it represents the established system of bail rather than alternative options available for release.
