T.I.’s Bond Request For $2.2M Postponed

Monday, October 22, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


T.I.A federal judge postponed a court request from T.I.’s lawyers on Friday, who proposed a $2.2 million bond and monitored home confinement for the rapper while he awaits trial on weapons charges.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman said he will reserve his ruling on the bond request until Friday, Oct. 26.

If released on bond T.I., born Clifford Harris, would be placed under house arrest, and forced to surrender his passport and right to drive, as well as submit to random searches and drug tests.

Several record company executives, including some from Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group, were seated in the courtroom. According to reports, they offered a signature bond of $1 million on Harris’ behalf.

Prosecutors countered against the bond request and insisted Harris poses a flight risk and danger to the community – citing his criminal record and the fact he was arrested while allegedly trying to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers.

Harris was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday, Oct. 17, on weapons charges, including possession of machine guns.

His indictment followed his arrest on Saturday, Oct, 13, for allegedly possessing three unregistered machine guns and silencers and for being a convicted felon in possession of firearms.

If convicted, Harris may face a combined 20 years in prison and a $500,000 fine for both counts.

T.i needs to get out hes just doin wut he needs to do to get by
Posted by shane allen
Its a sad day for hip hop, ti brought it back to the light then is now going to disappear. What jd said about it is correct. No way to beat a federal case on silencers and automatic weapons especially after getting caught buying from feds. Youre filthy rich, famous, and get caught doing dumd stuff. Typical.

I think it is a shame that t.i. Is going to jail, though i am not quite the fan of his music he clearly has been running strong with his recently dropped album, new movie, and many endorsements he's gained respect in the rap world. It will be a lot of money and time lost on his behalf and more so i feel bad for his many children... 20 years is a long time to be away from the world. But all it leads one to think is why are you buying machine guns & silencers? those aren't just novelty items you keep in your house for show like "hey guys come check out my machine guns!". It would seem that one would only purchase such a weapon with intent to kill... Which will only add fuel to the fire in his situation. I'm sure this story isn't over & soon the puzzle will be pieced together. Sorry t.i.

Everyone makes mistakes and we all deserve seconds chances but in reality we all know that ti is a good person and means well and if he was a threat to the community then he would have been commited a crime.some people have fetishes with guns and like to collect them.not saying that what ti did was right but he wasnt going to kill anybody he knows that he would have a lot to loose and i dont think that he would risk loosing his family and fans and his career.

Dont worry t i i still love u......

I believe all that has happen is the results of t.i friend being murdered. I think that it actually drove him to insanity. What man would work so hard to accomplish so much and do things that could cause him to lose it all. If i told you this story before it happen you would say a crazy man. If you listen to his album he explain his self, the split personality thing in my eyes now was not a joke. I believe the death of clifford harris friend really affected him.

Regardless of the fame he's still human all boys like toys he's not on here for murdering anybody. I'm sure alot of people own guys without permits so what. You all want to make commits about his kids atleast he takes care of them in 9 out 10 of his songs the kids are mentioned. Haters gon hate! my heart goes out to his family because regardless he's still someones father ,brother, and most importantly someone's son. Don't get caught up on what people say t.i your still a(n) icon as far as i'm concerned keep your head up and pray for the best what ever happens it was all god's plan stay focused (motivation) you said best!! haters get on your job!!

Why the F*ck he need automated weapons for what he tryna go to war or somethin. I mean i feel bad for homeboy but he gotta be da dumbest mu'fukah alive. He committed a crime now he gotta do the time. Im about 90 % sure hes gonna do some time because gettin caught wit automated weapons is some serious sh*t its not like what happend to ja rule and lil wayne

One question why did he needs those guns he aint on the streets, he a super star if dat was sum nigaa on the streets he would get like 100 years. Was he gonna show them off in sum dvd or sumting, he almost got a 100 mil, wat he needs all dem guns for. At the end he shud go prision and learn his lesson n*ggas dyiing on the streets coz the carry guns to hustle and dis rich ass n*gga jus buying them for what, t.i is trhe fakest rapper alive for that its like ja rule carry a shotgun it makes no sense
Posted by LONDON BOI
Why in tha F*ck would he be trying 2 pick up machine guns any F*ckn way? i mean this sh*t is retarted and if you ask me if he do get convicted then i thank he'll be getting what he deserve. All of these F*ckn rappers going out here doing dumb ass sh*t like this and expect for there not 2 be a consequence because they are who they are (thats the wrong answer) and obviously he wanted 2 go back to jail to see a damn judge because if he didnt he wouldnt have done this bullsh*t. And i thank if he had a lil time in jail it wouldnt hurt because maybe then he could have time to think about the ignorant sh*t that he did. Let this be a lesson 2 all rappers if you already in trouble with the law dont do anything else thats going to mess up your freedom. Neesie

T.i.p. Lost respect by fanz ova night..but mostly white fanz cause they don't understand tha concept on why a former street n*gga turnt rapper needz gunz..there'z alwayz some1 followin ya trackz so ur shoulder feelz more n' more like some1 behind ya..but tha black fanz still luv em n' respect em cause they think it'z wonderful 2 get locked up..they think gettin locked up iz an honor n' an award when in reality it'z jus 1 step closer 2 becomin a snitch..this "free t.i...crackaz givin him a 100 yearz"sh*t..now ur jus listenin 2 too much plies..referrin 2 crackaz az police now seemz 2 be popular cause of rapperz sayin it..if u ask me 2 be fair i'd give him 10 yearz...not too long but not too short..teach him a lesson..ppl sayin crackaz out 2 get em but it waz hiz "black" bodyguard that had him knocked..
Posted by gmillysouljah
And by tha way...tha new breed of gangstaz are snitchez..if u sayin "t.i. Kill hiz snitchin ass" most likely ur a stupid busta who neva been in tha streetz...y u talk sh*t bout snitchez if u ain't neva been in tha streetz n' snitched on..n' y talk sh*t bout snitchez when if u were doin dirt u could easily become 1..even tha hardest g'z snitched..nicky barnez for example..plus most snitchez waz more gangsta n' hard than u ppl are now..so if u ask me if those hardened ex-gangsta snitchez,go n' snitch..than u fake ppl would deffinently become snitchez...

Damn! its so many fa$$ots out here wishing jail on the man and the full facts aint even come to light as yet. Ever thought of a feds set up or just a hot ass n*gga snitching to get off easy??? come on- prison is for child molester, rapists, people that hurt innocent people.. Even if it were true, whats the big deal on buying a few guns?? white america is doing it everyday ready to tear our black asses apart if and when we get outa line.. There is more gruesome sh*t going on out here that really deserves prison. Ti is no threat to anybody. Lets stick behind the man and give him our support. Its way too early to judge.

Its not really the guns that might hurt him, its the silencers that is going to put him on the grill, i hope it all works out for him though.

Posted by manman
It's pointless to wonder why he did what he did, but i say to you many naysayers, people do collect guns and ammos, but the ones you generrally see are in museums and with affluent other persons of race, there in nothing wrong with having a fetish for guns as one would have a fettish for other souvenirs such as shoes, bikes (motorcylces), jewelry and the like, what should be the most important emphasis is why he was targeted and slated for removal from society. Truly he is a family man and participates in the role of being a father, therefore; i am very against the demise of another black man. The issue, for those of you who read less than talk, on the forefront is how they are subtracting our black men from society, while others do the same and are able to continue in their walks of life... For you to exclaim that he is stupid and should be locked away only convey the thoughts of those that continue to oppress us. You have taken the torch of oppression and degradation and carry with enthusiasm and pride. Shame on you! maybe we should consider as a race to uplift our race by fighting the good fight and choosing more wisely the fights that we choose to enter. If t.i. Was your brother, best friend, uncle or yourself even, would you be so susceptible to claim demise, regardless of your chose of self-expression. Please people more aware of where you stand that you may not fall into the same. Encourage, equip, empower and edify or race!!!!!!

A set up is a set up, which should show the world not to trust a soul. It's good folks is out- gt some ass my n*gga and await trial. Would hate to see a real dude go down. And just to think, tip and nelly was just defending hip hop, and this gave the man a reason to try to make an example of folk. Stay up, big sh*t still poppin!
