Jacob P. Sartz IV., Attorney at Law | Jacob Sartz
Anyone facing allegations that they violated the terms and conditions of their bond should retain a lawyer. A judge or magistrate has ultimate authority regarding case-related bonds. A bondsman may call in a bond in and request that the bond be revoked. Authorities such as police officers may allege that someone has violated a bond condition. A person may be placed in custody until they are brought before a judge regarding allegations involving bond conditions. However, ultimately, it takes a signed court-order from a judge or magistrate to formally revoke a bond. Occasionally, judges or magistrates will reinstate bonds at the hearing.

Police, release officers, and the like have significant power to allege violation of release conditions and order your arrest. I think that's of dubious legality, but there isn't much to do besides going in front of a judge to ask for release. Only a judge could order permanent bail forfeiture.
